Paperback. Condizione: NEW. Print on Demand. This book explores the decline of the Atlantic shad fishery in Maine, a story of a once abundant resource that vanished from the state's rivers. The author meticulously documents the history of shad fishing in each Maine river, drawing from historical accounts, government reports, and interviews with old-time fishermen. The book meticulously traces the decline of the shad population, attributing it primarily to the construction of dams that blocked the fish from their upstream spawning grounds. The author also examines the role of pollution, particularly from industrial activity, and the effects of overfishing on the species' decline. Through detailed analysis, the author highlights the complex interplay of factors that led to the collapse of the shad fishery, a stark reminder of the fragility of natural resources. The book serves as a valuable historical record of the shad fishery, but more importantly, it offers a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked development and environmental degradation.
