Fishing with motorized boats in the Belgian littoral area in 1932

Description in English

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.
