Summary, etc. About The Book: In this book, the author unveils the extensive research conducted by Francis Talbot Day during his assignment in Cochin on the Malabar Coast of India from 1859 to 1864. Author's work not only sheds light on the untapped potential of specific fish species, particularly Sardines, but also delves into the thriving industry of Isinglass production, derived from fish and known as "Fish sounds." This industry, with Malabar as its epicenter, exported its products to Bombay and eventually reached China. Moving beyond the economic perspective, the author explores the rich cultural and religious significance of fish in India. They delve into how fish are intertwined with deities, play integral roles in wedding ceremonies, and are central to dietary restrictions imposed by various faiths. About The Author: Francis Talbot Day CIE (1829–1889) was an army surgeon, naturalist, and pioneering ichthyologist in British India. He authored "The Fishes of India," describing over 300 fish species, and contributed to the "Fauna of British India" series. Day introduced trout to the Nilgiri hills, earning recognition from the French Societe d'Acclimatation. His specimens are found in museums worldwide, but his conflict with Albert Gunther limited their presence in the British Museum. Day's interest in natural history blossomed during his service in India, and he made significant contributions to the understanding of Indian fish species.
