Shoals Fish:
WHITE FISH—use in fish cakes, fish pie or as a fish salad.
SHELL FISH—use as potted fish, in fish salads, add to sauces.
SMOKED FISH—haddock—put into a Kedgeree, add to potato for fish cakes.
OILY FISH (kippers in particular)—pound for a pate to use as a sandwich filling.The fisheries are highly seasonal, with tht greatest landings being made in winter and spring. The most important catches are winter herring, on the west coast, and cod, off the northern Lofoten Islands. Norwegian fishermen also oper¬ate in distant waters, going to Iceland for her¬ring, to Greenland for cod and halibut, and to Bear Island for various kinds of bottom fish. The Norwegian Fisheries Directorate conducts a wide range of research activities, and during the major seasons scientists spot the shoals fish of,fish by means of electronic devices, directing the fleets where to go for the best catches.
See Also Eyeless Fish:
Troglobites include a variety of unusual creatures: eyeless fish, white crayfish, Blind salamanders, Blind beetles, and white, eyeless flatworms, amphipods, and isopods. Surface-dwelling species of animals most closely related to troglobites show a tendency toward the same physical characteristics: reduced eyes and pigment, thinner skin or exoskeleton, elongated or otherwise modified tactile organs, and reduced but efficient activity and metabolism. They are considered to be "preadapted" to cave conditions as the ancestors of present-day cave dwellers must have been.Larval flatfishes are also unlike their adults and undergo a metamorphosis involving the mi¬gration of an eye from one side of the head to the other. Simultaneously, the young fish starts to lie on the eyeless side, eventually abandoning a vertical posture altogether. Several oceanic fishes, such as sunfishes, dealfishes (Trachypteri-dae), sailfishes (Istiophoridae), and a few coastal species also have a distinct larval stage during which the fins may be enlarged, individual fin rays may be protracted into long streamers, or the body may be provided with elongate spines. These modifications seem to be devices for in¬creasing the larva's surface area and thus improv¬ing its buoyancy.
On The Other Hand See State Fish Hatchery:
The city is the home of the College of Great Falls, a Roman Catholic liberal arts institution, and the State School for the Deaf and Blind. The Great Falls public library serves a multi-county area. The original art studio and the mu¬seum of the Western painter and sculptor Charles M. Russell are in Great Falls. Malmstrom Air Force Base, a part of the U. S. Strategic Air Command, adjoins the city. A state fish hatchery and picnic ground is 3 miles (5 km) from the city at Giant Springs, where 270,000 gallons of water at a temperature of 52° F (11°C) erupt per minute from an un¬known subterranean source.Shortly after the Revolution, in 1786, New Englanders settled here, and founded the village of Lynchville, under the leadership of Dominick Lynch; in 1819 Lynch¬ville was incorporated as the village of Rome. Canal and railroad construction hastened the de¬velopment of the copper industry, which traces its origin to the establishment of iron works here in 1866. Rome was granted its city charter in 1870. Four miles north of Rome is a State Fish Hatchery (established in 1906; taken over by the state in 1932) where brook, brown, and rainbow trout are propagated for restocking depleted streams. The site of Fort Stanwix was made a National Monument Project, under authorization of Aug. 21, 1935. Rome has a mayor and council form of government. Pop. 51,646.
