Francis Day’s British and Irish Salmonidae (1887) is a comprehensive nineteenth-century treatise on the salmon and trout of Britain and Ireland, combining zoological description with practical guidance for anglers and fish culturists. Treating species such as the Atlantic salmon, brown trout, and sea trout in detail, Day examines morphology, life cycles, feeding habits, habitat, and geographic distribution, making the volume both a scientific reference and a handbook for those engaged in fisheries management. The book is especially notable for its visual documentation, including hand-colored plates by Miss Florence Woolward.
