Book Description
"Truly remarkable portraits of courage." -- John van Amerongen, editor, Alaska Fisherman's Journal "These little-known tales of women working in Alaska's commercial fishing industry make for great reading. . . . Readers will be amazed by their stories." -- Laine Welch, Alaska Fish Radio "A richly textured story, a multi-genre text that invites readers to witness women's conversation with America's last frontier, Alaska." -- Patricia Foster, University of Iowa Why do women choose an occupation that has been ranked the most dangerous in the nation? What do women give up--and get in return--when they take on the tasks of fishermen? The Entangling Net explores these issues through the stories of twenty women who have chosen to work in this extremely risky, male-dominated profession. Leslie Leyland Fields lyrically weaves their stories with her own experiences as a fishing woman. She tells of long, exhausting days in skiffs, catching fish in brutally cold weather on waters that are often violent. Her words and those of the women she interviews convey the paradoxical relationship the women have with commercial fishing: they face extraordinarily difficult working conditions made more difficult and dangerous by male crews and skippers who don't welcome women, yet they feel impelled by the challenge of the work to return to their jobs season after season.

Book Description
In the sixteen years since the last edition of Von Brant’s classic work was published, fishing and fisheries have undergone vast changes. Not only has there been great progress in the development of new tools, materials and techniques, but the industry has seen an increasing need to address controversial issues such as declining fish stocks, enormous quantities of bycatch and discard and the impact of towed fishing gear on the environment. Fully revised and updated to reflect such changes, the fourth edition of this widely read and popular book offers: A unique, comprehensive survey of the evolution of fishing methods throughout the world Approximately 750 illustrations showing the extensive range of methods, techniques and equipment used in fishing across the globe Fishing gear classified according to the FAO system Additional chapters: Fishing Effects on Fish Stocks and Environment and Fishery and Gear Research All researchers, fisheries scientists, fisheries students, administrators and libraries in universities and research establishments where fish and fisheries are studied and taught will find this book a valuable addition to their shelves. Commercial and sports fishermen will also find Fish Catching Methods of the World a fascinating and vital reference.
