Over the centuries, processing and distribution of products from land and sea has stimulated the growth of a global economy. In the broad sweep of world history, it may be hard to imagine a place for the meager little herring baitfish. Yet, as Brian Payne adeptly recounts, the baitfish trade was hotly contested in the Anglo-American world throughout the nineteenth century. Politicians called for wars, navies were dispatched with guns at the ready, vessels were seized at sea, and violence erupted at sea. Yet, the battle over baitfish was not simply a diplomatic or political affair. Fishermen from hundreds of villages along the coastline of Atlantic Canada and New England played essential roles in the construction of legal authority that granted or denied access to these profitable bait fisheries. Fishing a Borderless Sea illustrates how everyday laborers created a complex system of environmental stewardship that enabled them to control the local resources while also allowing them access into the larger global economy.

Excerpt from Pacific Cod Fisheries Much has been said and written of the difference in size between the sound of the Atlantic cod and that of the Pacific. A large part of this is hearsay, based largely on the statements of fishermen, few of whom have ever made any effort to save them. The writer cut out a few sounds in 1913, but, unfortunately, these were lost in some way during transportation; and, although it had been some years since he had cut a sound from an Atlantic cod, it seemed to him that the Pacific sounds were almost, if not quite, as large, but thin ner. Some few years ago the Alaska Codfish Co. Made an effort to save the sounds at one of its Alaska stations, but the men refused to do so except at an exorbitant price. A. Greenebaum, the president of the company, writes that the sounds are small in size. The only authentic record the writer has of a direct comparison of Pacific and Atlantic sounds is in a letter from Dr. W. C. Kendall, assistant, United States Bureau of Fisheries, under date of Jan uary 22, 1915, in which he states: The air bladder of the big Pacific cod [the weight of this was about 30 pounds and its total length about 39 inches], after removal, measured about 13 inches in length, with no perceptible horns excepting slight projections, but it had a very large pouch on each side of the anterior end. The air bladder of the big Atlantic cod [of a weight of 344 pounds and a length of 43% inches] was of the same length approximately, pouches small, but the horns, which could not be fully straightened out, measured each 10 inches in length. In natural position in the fish they are coiled up. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
