Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s, the northern cod populations off the coast of Newfoundland had become so depleted that the federal government placed a moratorium on commercial fishing. The impact was devastating, both for Newfoundland's economy and for local fishing communities. Today, although this natural resource – exploited commercially for over 500 years – appears to be returning in diminished numbers, many fisheries scientists and fishers question whether the cod will ever return to its former abundance. In A Fishery for Modern Times, Miriam Wright argues that the recent troubles in the fishery can be more fully understood by examining the rise of the industrial fishery in the mid-twentieth century. The introduction of new harvesting technologies and the emergence of 'quick freezing', in the late 1930s, eventually supplanted household production by Newfoundland's fishing families. While the new technologies increased the amount of fish caught in the northwest Atlantic, Wright argues that the state played a critical role in fostering and financing the industrial frozen fish sector. Many bureaucrats and politicians, including Newfoundland's premier, Joseph Smallwood, believed that making the Newfoundland fishery 'modern', with centralization, technology, and expertise, would transform rural society, solving deep-seated economic and social problems. A Fishery for Modern Times examines the ways in which the state, ideologies of development, and political, economic, and social factors, along with political actors and fishing company owners, contributed to the expansion of the industrial fishery from the 1930s through the 1960s. While the promised prosperity never fully materialized, the continuing reliance on approaches favouring high-tech, big capital solutions put increasing pressure on cod populations in the years that followed. As Wright concludes, 'We can no longer afford to view the fisheries resources as "property" of the state and industry, to do with it as they choose. That path had led only to devastation of the resource, economic instability, and great social upheaval.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newfoundland: Its Fisheries and General Resources In the case of sailing vessels, the men had half the gross receipts Of the voyage for their share. But, owing to the greater cost of steamers, and their expensive outfit, the men's share is now reduced to one-third. The steamers are from three to six hundred tons burthen - wood built, full timbered, with hold beams, heavily planked, sheathed, and thoroughly equipped to endure severe trials in the ice floes. They cost from twelve to twenty thousand pounds, or even more, and, as they can only be employed profitably during the short period of the seal fishery, which rarely occupies more than two months, and as this has been proved a business of chequered success, it cannot be contended that the investment is one of large attraction. To the people of the colony the substitution of steam for sailing vessels has proved a loss the quantity taken has not at least shown any increase on the average of former times, while the menis Share has been greatly diminished. Moreover, the sailing vessels were in a large degree the property of resident whose earnings helped to swell the common wealth, while now the owner ship has passed into the hands of large capitalists, some of whom live abroad, and, in the nature of things, their means cannot play the same important part in promoting the social well-being of the colony.

Book excerpt: Terranova is the story of Spain s twentieth-century industrial cod fishery on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. It combines oral history (including interviews with over 300 participants in the fishery) with socio-political-economic history to describe how the industry and Spain itself evolved over seven decades. Terranova pays special attention to how work and life onboard trawlers changed in 1926, when Spain s industrial fishery began, and how they have evolved through the turn of the twenty-first century. It concludes by describing how technological advances and increased competition among fishers brought the collapse of the Newfoundland cod fishery in 1992.
