About This Book

A boy joins federal fisheries expeditions and narrates a series of sea-going adventures that mix dramatic encounters with large marine animals, narrow escapes in storms, and clashes over illegal poaching. Interwoven are practical descriptions of fishing methods, hatchery work, fish-culture techniques, and shore and inland fisheries operations, accompanied by vivid natural-history sketches of whales, seals, cephalopods, and other sea life. The account balances adventure storytelling with informative passages on conservation and resource management.
