Excerpt from Routledge's Handbook of Fishing: With IllustrationsThe fins of fish consist of thin elastic membrane, supported by bony rays, and are denominated according to their position - dorsal on the back, pectoral on the breast, central near the vent, anal that between the vent and the tail, and caudal the tail fins. The dorsal and ventral fins appear to balance the fish, and the pectoral to push it forward, while the tail fins are the grand instruments of motion, and enable the creature to dart forward almost as rapidly as the bullet from a gun.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
