Abstract

FASCIST Italy has been quick to recognise that in its fisheries, no less than in any other branch of the nation's commerce, future progress depends upon the efficiency with which the industry is conducted. As an initial step towards rationalisation, therefore, an exhaustive survey of the fisheries situation in all its phases has been under-taken, in which no relevant subject appears to have been overlooked. Testimony to the thoroughness of this official ‘stock-taking’ is provided by these three remarkable volumes recently issued by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the government department responsible for the administration of the fisheries. It is impossible here to give more than a bare indication of the contents of the three volumes, which comprise nearly 1500 pages of text, accompanied by a wealth of photographs, diagrams, charts, and plates, both coloured and uncoloured.
