Guide Book To New Zealand Commercial Fish Species

Descripción

When first published in 1981 this book was said to be the first comprehensive non-scientific guidebook to NZ's commercial fish species. It provided information on fish and their flesh characteristics. The publishers, the New Zealand Fishing Industry Board, had long recognised the need for such a guide and intended it to be an aid to those in the industry, particularly exporters. The first edition was compiled by an expert editorial group of seven from the board and other industry organisations. The guide was reprinted in 1985, and 1990, with this "new revised edition" dated March 1994. The revision was carried out by two addtional board officers. Chapter topics include fish resorces, quality assurance and export certification, the composition and texture of fish fillets. Most of the book is devoted to "species profiles" covering finfish, shellfish and crustaceans/echinoderms. This revised edition of 1994 is 216 pages including glossary, index and selected bibliography. illustrated throughout with photos and drawings, plus colour map of NZ's 200 mile exclusive economic zone and quota management areas Typically, a finfish entry consists a double page with colour photo of species, a b/we drawing opposite with colour photos of fillets from that type. Shellfish and other species are generally pictured in colour photos only on a single page. However, all entries present data pertaining to that species. Dark blue hard covers have silver front/spine titles and ancient Maori fishhook design to front centre, blue e/papers with the fishhook design in silver on FFEP. Hard covers and text block are NF, no inscriptions. Unclipped colour pictorial DJ with net backgtound has colour photo of traditional Maori fishhook at front centre and also NF.
