This set describes how an industry which had its roots deep in antiquity and was regulated by ancient laws and customs evolved so as to cater for the rapid growth in demand for its product. The 1833 Select Committee on British Channel fisheries (IUP volume Fisheries 1) whose report was especially praised by Clapham, in his Economic History of Modern Britain, confirmed that British fisheries were in decline and recommended that foreign fishermen should be prevented from fishing in British waters and that fish imports should be prohibited.
