Légende

The late Mr. Frank Buckland, 1881. '...her Majesty's Inspector of Salmon Fisheries...Mr. Buckland projected and started "Land and Water". He conducted its intelligence in regard to sea and river fisheries and practical natural history, and contributed to it up to the very day before his death...No one has done more to popularise the subject of fishery cultivation and preservation, not only in England, but throughout the world...His efforts for the introduction of salmon and trout into the Australian and New Zealand waters are well known. In 1870 Mr. Buckland was appointed special commissioner for the salmon fisheries of Scotland. He published a report on the Norfolk fisheries, which led to the Norfolk and Suffolk Fisheries Act of 1877. In the same year he was one of a Commission to inquire into the crab and lobster fisheries of England and Scotland, which resulted in an Act of Parliament for the protection of those molluscs...Mr. Buckland's researches into the mysterious salmon disease have attracted much attention...His museum at South Kensington, collected at his own expense, is a monument of the industry with which he sought to gather information connected with the fisheries for the public benefit'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
