  • ISBN : 1599425416
  • Pages : 301 pages

Download or read book Terranova written by Rosa Garcia-Orellan and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

  • Author : Dean Bavington
  • Publisher : UBC Press
  • Release : 2011-01-01
  • ISBN : 0774859504
  • Pages : 225 pages

Download or read book Managed Annihilation written by Dean Bavington and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery was once the most successful commercial fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992, many pointed to failures in management, such as uncontrolled harvesting, as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation makes the case that the idea of natural resource management itself was the problem. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were state-managed and still, two decades later, there is no recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered and has been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod.

Book Lament for an Ocean

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michael Harris
  • Publisher : McClelland & Stewart
  • Release : 2013-07-09
  • ISBN : 1551994763
  • Pages : 452 pages

Download or read book Lament for an Ocean written by Michael Harris and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The northern cod have been almost wiped out. Once the most plentiful fish on the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland, the cod is now on the brink of extinction, and tens of thousands of people in Atlantic Canada have been left without work by a 1992 moratorium on fishing the stock. Today, the Pacific salmon stocks are in similar trouble – victims of the same blind, stupid greed. Angry, accusatory fingers have been pointed at various possible culprits for the collapse of the cod – at the Spanish and Portuguese, who for hundreds of years sent ever-bigger fleets to the Grand Banks; at the factory-freezer trawlers, which “vacuumed” the ocean floor for the prized fish; at those inshore fishermen who circumvented the rules governing the fishery; at the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which is responsible for managing the fishery; at the harp seal, the cod’s competitor for food, whose numbers have exploded in recent years; even at Nature, for lowering the temperature of the ocean. In Lament for an Ocean, the award-winning true-crime writer Michael Harris investigates the real causes of the most wanton destruction of a natural resource in North American history since the buffalo were wiped off the face of the prairies. The story he carefully unfolds is the sorry tale of how, despite the repeated and urgent warnings of ocean scientists, the northern cod was ruthlessly exploited.

Book A Study of the Seasonal Inshore Codtrap Fishery Glut

Download or read book A Study of the Seasonal Inshore Codtrap Fishery Glut written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major problem associated with the Newfoundland in-shore fishery relates to the inability of in-shore cod-trap fishermen to dispose of all landings during the peak of the 6-8-week cod-trap fishery. This problem is primarily caused by insufficient processing & freezing capacity among groundfish processors to accommodate this over-supply during the relatively short period of glut. This paper discusses this problem & its causes and makes recommendations for addressing the problem with regard to such matters as transport of fish, freezing & holding of fish for future processing, salt fish processing facilities, bulk storage facilities, cod-trap fishermen licensing, and fishing regulations. Appendices include tables of groundfish production data.

Book Servants of the Fish

    Book Details:
  • Author : Myron Arms
  • Publisher : Upper Access Books
  • Release : 2004
  • ISBN : 0942679296
  • Pages : 255 pages

Download or read book Servants of the Fish written by Myron Arms and published by Upper Access Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the last of the northern cod disappeared from the fishing banks of eastern North America during the waning years of the 20th century, more than just fish faced the threat of extinction. In communities all around the island of Newfoundland, thousands of fishermen and their families suddenly found themselves confronted by a similar threat. Servants of the Fish is the story of these people, who are at once the perpetrators and the victims of this event. As he did in his bestselling Riddle of the Ice, Arms employs the drama of the voyage to bring readers face to face with the people and the geography of the tale he tells. It is the tale of a particular time and place. Yet it is also an allegory of sorts--about predators and prey, about greed and denial, and about our collective ability as human beings to destroy natural systems once thought to be infinite.
