Title: Fishing Boats of the World 3 by Jan-Olof Traung

Summary: This book is widely regarded as one of the classic references in fishing vessel design. It completed a trilogy that became a standard resource for naval architects, fisheries engineers, policymakers, and researchers working in commercial fisheries. Contemporary reviews described it as a comprehensive survey of fishing vessel development and future trends, particularly valuable for understanding the modernization of small fishing craft around the world. The book is organized into six major sections:

Techno-Socio-Economic Factors

Performance of Fishing Craft

Construction Materials

Engineering

Small Fishing Boats

New Developments

The book bridges naval architecture, fisheries engineering, economics, and practical fishing operations, making it both a technical reference and a historical record of fishing vessel development during the mid-20th century.
