The tunny-fishery, on which the whole of the adjacent country chiefly depended for its subsistence, was annihilated.
In all probability, however, it was later than the foundation of Nice, and took its name from its being situated directly opposite to that city. Pliny says it was famous for its tunny-fishery; and to this circumstance Martial alludes in the following lines Antipolitani, fateor, sum filia thynni. Essem si Scombri non tibi missa forem. I'm spawned from Tunny of Antibes, 'tis true.
I need not mention, that the sardines and anchovies are caught in nets; salted, barrelled, and exported into all the different kingdoms and states of Europe. The sardines, however, are largest and fattest in the month of September. A company of adventurers have farmed the tunny-fishery of the king, for six years; a monopoly, for which they pay about three thousand pounds sterling.
