Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 October 18, 1982 e - ii - Abstract The exploitation of salmon resources was once central to the economic life of the Northwest Coast. The organization of technological skills and information brought to the problems of salmon utilization by Northwest Coast fishermen was directed to obtaining sufficient calories to meet the requirements of staple storage foods and fresh consumption. This study reconstructs selective elements of the traditional salmon fishery drawing on data from the ethnographic record, journals, and published observations of the period prior to intensive white settlement. To serve the objective of an ecological perspective, technical references to the habitat and distribution of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) are included.

    FISHING THE THAMES ESTUARY IN THE LATER MIDDLE AGES: ENVIRONMENT, TECHNOLOGY AND THE METROPOLITAN MARKET FOR FISH C. 1250-1550 JAMES A. GALLOWAY INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR IRELAND Date of receipt: 6th of September, 2019 Date of acceptance: 9th of October, 2019 ABSTRACT The estuary and tidal river of the Thames in south-eastern England were home to active commercial fisheries in the later middle ages. Despite conflicts over navigation, especially related to the use of fixed fish-weirs, the estuary supplied large quantities of fish to the London market. The importance of Thames fish to Londoners’ diet emerges from documentary and archaeological evidence. These fisheries remained important throughout the period 1250-1550 and were not destroyed by the rise of large-scale trade in preserved fish from more distant waters. KEYWORDS Thames Estuary, Fishing, Coastal Environment, Medieval London, Diet. CAPITALIA VERBA Aestuarium Tamesis, Piscatio, Circumiecta litoralia, Londinium Mediaevale, Diaeta. IMAGO TEMPORIS. MEDIUM AEVUM, XV (2021): 243-271 / ISSN 1888-3931 / DOI 10.21001/itma.2021.15.08 243 244 JAMES A. GALLOWAY ILLUSTRATION 1. THE THAMES ESTUARY: LOCATION MAP. NOTE: AREAS OF ALLUVIAL MARSHLAND ARE SHOWN IN GREEN. MAP PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR. English inshore and estuarine fisheries1 have received much less attention from historians than the commercial sea fisheries of the high and later Middle Ages, which have been the subject of a number of important studies in recent decades.2 The most notable exception is Harold Fox’s pioneering study of the south Devon coast, which includes consideration of all aspects of fishing practice in that south- western county.3 The present paper attempts a less ambitious overview of the later medieval exploitation of the fisheries of the estuary of the River Thames in south- eastern England.

Vol. 25, No. 12 AN ELECTROMECHAN ICAL FISHING AND COUNTING FENCE U SED IN IRELAND Julius Rockwell, Jr .,~ ABSTRACT On Ireland's River Shannon salmon are fished by a large pennanent weir which contains fish traps. The weir extends across the river and a carefully regulated es­ capement is counted through at frequent intervals during the entire run. Electric counting devices are used to count the escapement and electric shocking devices are used to kill the fish taken. INTRODUCTION Salmon are permitted to escape to upriver fisheries and spawning, and a regulated per­ centage is then killed electrically after being caught in stationary traps in the River Shannon at Thomond near the southwest coast of Ireland. This installation of the Electricity Supply Board of Ireland is of particular interest because the most effective regulation of a salmon stock is possible when the escapement to an individual river can be carefully controlled. The principle of controlled fishing of the river mouth is similar to one employed by the Soviets and described previously in Commercial Fisheries Review, July 1957 p. 32. The fence or weir of this Shannon fishery extends completely across the river and con­ tains traps in which are electric fishing or electric fish-counting equipment. The river at Thomond is moderately large being in the order of 180-300 cubic meters per second. The annual run to the Shannon has been estimated to be 20,000 salmon a year of which approximately 13,000 reach the weir.
