The writing, study, or documentation of fishing practices, techniques, and traditions; literature about fishing and fishermen.
Combining Greek 'halios' (salt/sea fishing) with 'graphia' (writing/description). The term is primarily found in specialized academic and literary discourse about fishing literature and historical accounts.
Haliography is a forgotten literary genre—ancient texts like Oppian's 'Halieutica' are essentially fishing poetry and manuals combined, and we've lost much of this specialized knowledge because we don't value documenting how people actually caught fish throughout history.
