Mackerel Fishing: An Illustrated Exploration of Traditional Fishing Methods and the Role of Pilot Fish and Painted Mackerel This handcolored copperplate engraving offers a glimpse into the world of mackerel fishing as it was practiced in the late 18th century. In image 47a, we see a unique mackerel fishing method employing walled channels and a grate to catch spawning mackerel with the tide. The tidal pools, created by the construction of walls, trap the fish as they swim upstream to spawn. As the tide comes in, the grate is lowered, allowing the mackerel to enter the pools while keeping larger fish out. Image 47b illustrates fishermen in boats deploying nets to encircle a school of mackerel. This method, known as encircling or netting, was another common technique used to catch these valuable fish. The fishermen, working together in their boats, would surround the school of mackerel and then close in with their nets to capture them. The engraving also highlights the presence of two intriguing marine species: the painted mackerel (Scomberomorus regalis, image 48) and the pilot fish (Naucrates ductor, image 49). Pilot fish are small, silver fish that often swim in the vicinity of larger fish, including mackerel. They are believed to help protect their larger companions from predators, making them valuable companions for fishermen. Painted mackerel, also known as king mackerel, are highly prized for their flavorful flesh and are a popular target for both commercial and recreational fisheries. This engraving, taken from Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelms Encyclopedia of Natural History: Fish, published in Augsburg in 1804, offers a fascinating look into the world of mackerel fishing and the role of these two intriguing fish species. Wilhelms, a Bavarian clergyman and naturalist, was known as the German Buffon for his extensive work in the natural sciences.
