What reading level is A Short Biography of the Menhaden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In August, 1878, there was a very rapid fall in the temperature of the surface in the Gulf of Maine, so that the average temperature of that month was less than that of July, instead of being higher, as is usual. This may have had the effect of driving the fish into the warmer water of the bays and estuaries. The monthly averages for 1876, 1877, 1878 and 1879 are as follows : 1876— June, 56.9°-54°; July, 66.7°-s9.4° ; August, 63.9°-6o.4°.
1877— June, 54.9°-S3.3° ; July, 58.i°-s6.3° ; August, 62....4°-6o.6°.
1878— June, 56.8°-55.2° ; July, 66.9°-59.3° ; August, 6o.7°-5g.9°.
1879— June, 52.9°-5i.7°: July, 55.9°-S4.i° ; August, 59.6°-58.
The arrival of the menhaden is announced by their appearance at the top of the water. They swim in immense schools, their heads close to the surface, packed side by side, and often tier above tier, almost as closely as sardines in a box. A gentle ripple indicates their position, and this may be seen at a distance of nearly a mile by the lookout at the mast-head of a fishing vessel, and is of great assistance to the seiners in setting their nets.
