Excerpt from The Harvest of the Sea
Whitebait - Fish as a rule not Migratory - Growth of Fish Shoals - The Balancing Power of Nature.
Fish form the fourth class of vertebrate animals, and, 'as a general rule, live in water; although in Ceylon and India species are found which live in the earth, or, at any rate, that exist in mud, not to speak of others said to occupy the trees of those countries! The classification of fishes given by Cuvier is usually adopted. He has divided these animals into those with true bones, and those having a cartilaginous structure the former, again, being divided into acanthopterous and malcopterous fish. Other naturalists have adopted more elaborate classifications; but Cuvier's being the simplest has a strong claim to be considered the best, and is the one generally used.
