Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fisheries of the Province of Quebec, Vol. 1: Historical Introduction Mr. C. J Simard, Assistant Secretary of the Province of Quebec, and Mr. Evanturel, in charge of the provincial archives, have afforded me every facility for consulting the manuscript sources of information in possession of the de partment, while to the Hon. J Douglas Hazen, Minister of Marine and Fisheries for the Dominion of Canada, to Mr. Johnston, Deputy Minister, and to Mr. Found and other officials of that department, I am under obligations for the loan of important documentary matter bearing upon a later period of our fisheries than that chiefly dealt with in the fol lowing pages, but which will, it is hoped, form the subject of a subsequent report. That ecrin de perles ignorees, - as Frechette so aptly calls the history of our dear Province of Quebec, holds many priceless gems of religious fervour and patriotic de votion, but among its ever-to-be cherished jewels of courage ous daring and lofty ambition for home and country and people, and the extension of legitimate influence and power, must surely be counted, also, those bold plunges of the pioneer fishermen of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, into practically un known western seas, and those fearless attempts to establish the first sedentary fisheries on Canadian soil, amid the un civilized aborigines of Gaspesia and the yet more savage Esquimaux of Labrador, often in the face of hostile fleets, and subject to the ravages of roving pirates, who pillaged and wrought destruction with fire and sword both at sea and on shore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fishing the Great Lakes is a sweeping history of the destruction of the once-abundant fisheries of the great "inland seas" that lie between the United States and Canada. Though lake trout, whitefish, freshwater herring, and sturgeon were still teeming as late as 1850, Margaret Bogue documents here how overfishing, pollution, political squabbling, poor public policies, and commercial exploitation combined to damage the fish populations even before the voracious sea lamprey invaded the lakes and decimated the lake trout population in the 1940s. From the earliest records of fishing by native peoples, through the era of European exploration and settlement, to the growth and collapse of the commercial fishing industry, Fishing the Great Lakes traces the changing relationships between the fish resources and the people of the Great Lakes region. Bogue focuses in particular on the period from 1783, when Great Britain and the United States first politically severed the geographic unity of the Great Lakes, through 1933, when the commercial fishing industry had passed from its heyday in the late nineteenth century into very serious decline. She shows how fishermen, entrepreneurial fish dealers, the monopolistic A. Booth and Company (which distributed and marketed much of the Great Lakes catch), and policy makers at all levels of government played their parts in the debacle. So, too, did underfunded scientists and early conservationists unable to spark the interest of an indifferent public. Concern with the quality of lake habitat and the abundance of fish increasingly took a backseat to the interests of agriculture, lumbering, mining, commerce, manufacturing, and urban development in the Great Lakes region. Offering more than a regional history, Bogue also places the problems of Great Lakes fishing in the context of past and current worldwide fishery concerns.
Download or read book Wildlife Conservation and Conflict in Quebec 1840 1914 written by Darcy Ingram and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the popular assumption that wildlife conservation is a recent phenomenon, it emerged over a century and a half ago in an era more closely associated with wildlife depletion than preservation. In Wildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, Darcy Ingram explores the combination of NGOs, fish and game clubs, and state-administered leases that formed the basis of a unique system of wildlife conservation in North America. Inspired by a longstanding belief in progress, improvement, and social order based on European as well as North American models, this system effectively privatized Quebec’s fish and game resources, often to the detriment of commercial and subsistence hunters and fishers.
