Biography
Robert Morgan, Ph.D.
Reviews of the first publication:
“Now, for the first time, somebody has had the courage and the enthusiasm to make a comprehensive world survey of the fishing industry. How brilliantly Mr. Morgan has achieved his object! … —a handy sized volume that one can sit down and read with real interest and enjoyment.”
— The Journal of Navigation
“This is a valuable book and should be a welcome addition to any geography library. It is a must for those interested in conducting fishery studies.”
— Scottish Geographical Magazine
“…World Sea Fisheries is an excellent, exhaustive source of information about the much over-looked and therefore little appreciated commercial fishing industry.”
— Richard J. Houk, Economic Geography
