Excerpt from California Fish and Game, Vol. 5: January, 1919In 1871 the. Chinese began fishing for shrimps and introduced the destructive Chinese shrimp net. They made enormous catches with these fine-meshed set nets and found it profitable to supply the markets with shrimps at one and one-half cents per pound. The original eight Italian shrimp boats were driven out of business and since that time shrimp fishing has been almost entirely carried on by Chinese. From the very start the Chinese dried the bulk of their catch for the Oriental export trade. The shrimp fishery quickly grew to large proportions and fishing was carried on at many places in San Francisco Bay and in Tomales Bay in Marin County.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
