Abstract
IN reference to recent statements in NATURE on this subject, it will interest your readers to know that in Italy the Government has constituted a Fishery Board, which, my friend Prof. Giglioli, of Florence, tells me, is actively employed in advising the executive and in inquiring into the grievances and difficulties of fishermen, and the suggestions for improvement of fisheries; it has also recently, at the expense of the Government, taken practical measures in the stocking of lakes with fish, and in the cultivation of sea-fish. This Commission is a branch of the “Ministry of Agriculture, Industry, and Commerce,” which corresponds to our Board of Trade. The members of the Fishery Commission, with the exception of the first three named below, are exclusively scientific men. They are as follows:—The Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Agriculture; the Permanent Undersecretary of State for Commerce; a distinguished lawyer; M. Minni, of Venice; Dr. Renier, of Chioggia (representing the fishermen of this island); M. Friedlander, of Comacchio (specially acquainted with the peculiar fish-culture of this district); Prof. Giglioli, Florence: Prof. Targioni-Tozzetti, Florence; Prof. Costa, Naples; Prof. de Vincentis, Taranto; Prof. Canestrini, Padua; Prof. Pavesi, Pavia; Prof. Issel, Genoa.
