Shetland Fishermen

Celebrating 50 Years of the Shetland Fishermen's Association, this book describes the many changes that have taken place in the Shetland fishing industry; the growth of seine net fishing for haddock and whiting, the revival of the driftnet fishery for herring in the 1950s, the introduction of purse seining in the 1960s and the islanders' positive reaction after initial hostility, and the problems and benefits of Britain's entry into the EEC.
