# Boat-Fishery
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
A method of herring fishing using smaller boats that can quickly bring
|
|
catches ashore for immediate curing or consumption, better adapted to
|
|
coastal communities and local market conditions.
|
|
|
|
## Source Chapter
|
|
|
|
Book IV, Chapter 5
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Smith argues that boat-fisheries are more naturally suited to Scotland's
|
|
geography than buss-fisheries, but bounties have ruined this traditional
|
|
method by making large-scale operations artificially profitable.
