... Catching fish is one of the oldest ways of getting food. Today many people
make their living by fishing or by preparing fish for market. Most of the best
fishing grounds are in northern waters. Salmón and cod are caught along North
American shores. Norwegians fish for herring and the little silver fish called
sardines. And each year Dutch fishermen sail out in June to fish for herring.
Japanese Fishermen sail in many waters. Modern fishing fleets make big
catches in the more important fishing grounds. And all over the world, people in
tiny villages still get their fish in nets cióse to the shore.

something. But now, there 107a newtype of person who thinks that lying on the
