Fishing with motorized boats in the Belgian littoral area in 1932
Measurements and counts of fish caught by motorized boats in May 1932. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Gilson, G. (1932). Destruction du jeune poisson par la pêche littorale à moteur. Annales de l'Institut d'Etudes Maritimes d'Ostende = Annalen van het Zeewetenschappelijk Instituut, 2. Zeewetenschappelijk Instituut = Institut d'Etudes Maritimes: Oostende. 20 pp. Study on the influence of wind-driven to motorized fishing boats on the destruction of young fish living in the Belgian littoral area. The fishing in the littoral area of the coast of Belgium has undergone a profound transformation since the publication in 1928. Before, it was practiced almost exclusively by sail - but today, the entire fleet of small boats is equipped with motors. Two unforeseen factors have aggravated the destruction of marine fish: the reduction in size and the use of organic materials by the industry.
