Abstract
NO comprehensive work has till now appeared in English on the sea-fisheries of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and though Mr. Faber modestly refers to his volume as a Report meant to pave the way for a more general work on the subject, yet we cannot but regard it as a very valuable history of the marine fauna and fishing interests of the Adriatic. The volume contains a systematic list of the fishes, including the freshwater forms of the watershed of the northern and eastern shores of the Adriatic, which has evidently been compiled with a great deal of care. The Italian local names in use on the Adriatic coasts and the Croatian names are also given; those of the latter dialect for the first time.
The Fisheries of the Adriatic and the Fish thereof.
A Report of the Austro-Hungarian Sea-Fisheries; with a Detailed Description of the Marine Fauna of the Adriatic Gulf. By G. L. Faber., Her Britannic Majesty's Consul, Fiume. (London: Bernard Quaritch, 1883.)
