人類在出現的初期,就和魚類發生了密切的關係。考古學家們在海邊,河邊找到史前人類所用的工具中,常常有鈎、叉等石器,這些就是我們的祖先用來捕魚的工具。春秋戰國時,已有“魚我所欲也”的記载:在洪水附近的一個諸侯的坟墓內所找到的祭器中,發現許多魚骨。可見古時人類已經把魚類作為珍貴的食品。到現在,許多種的魚仍舊是我們很好的食品。世界上的魚產,每年達九百至一千萬噸,其中大都份是作為食品的,一小部份用作工業原料。1951年我國水產的總额為一百一十萬噸,今年預定的目標是一百五十萬噸。水產中的絕大部分是魚類,所以魚类在我國生產上佔着很重要的地位。 魚類的用途很廣,可以归纳成以下幾種: In the early days of human existence, there was a close relationship with fish. Archaeologists found tools used by prehistoric humans along the rivers and rivers, often with hooks, forks, and other stone tools. These are the tools that our ancestors used to fish. During the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States period, there was a record of “I like fish”: in the sacrificial vessels found in a prince’s grave near the flood, many fish bones were found. It can be seen that humans have used fish as a precious food in ancient times. Until now, many kinds of fish are still good food for us. The world’s fish production amounts to 900 to 10 million tons each year, of which most of them are used as food, and a small portion is used as industrial raw materials. In 1951, the total amount of aquatic products in China was 1.1 million tons, and the target for this year is 1.5 million tons. The vast majority of fisheries are fish, so fish has a very important position in China’s production. The use of fish is very broad and can be summarized as follows:
