Excerpt from The Fisheries Exhibition Literature, Vol. 7: Conferences Part IV The chairman, in introducing Sir Henry Thompson, said he felt it a special privilege to Otake the chair on that occasion. They all knew Sir Henry Thompson as one of the most eminent surgeons in the world, but it was perhaps not quite so well known that he took very great interest in all subjects that were for the benefit and welfare of the human race. He was not sure whether the information they were about to receive, would not enable them to dispense to a certain extent with the services of the physician, but he was quite certain that the important questions relating to the use of fish as food would be dealt with in such a manner as could not fail to be of the utmost benefit to them all.
