  • May Be Xeroxed
    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

  • Striped Bass (Morone Saxatilis) Population Characteristics and Spawning Assessment in the Bouctouche and Cocagne Rivers
    STRIPED BASS (MORONE SAXATILIS) POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS AND SPAWNING ASSESSMENT IN THE BOUCTOUCHE AND COCAGNE RIVERS PREPARED BY: CHARLES COMEAU, NATHALIE LEBLANC-POIRIER, MICHELLE MAILLET, DONALD ALEXANDER PRESENTED TO: THE SOUTHEASTERN ANGLERS ASSOCIATION WILDLIFE TRUST FUND FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA JULY 2013 1. INTRODUCTION Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is a native anadromous fish species of the North American Atlantic coastline that spawns in fresh or brackish water. In the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of St Lawrence watersheds, spawning occurs in May and June. Juvenile Striped bass then migrate downstream to brackish waters and eventually salt water to feed and grow until they have reached maturity, a process that normally takes three to four years. Striped bass was considered a commercially important fish before it was designated as a threatened species by COSEWIC (the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) in November 2004. However, because there was such a decline in the population, Striped bass met the criteria for being listed as an ‘‘endangered’’ species. The Striped bass population of the Gulf of St Lawrence was ultimately designated as ‘‘threatened’’ because of the high degree of resilience of this species and the high abundance of spawners found prior to the designation. It is therefore important to gather more information on the current Striped bass population in rivers and estuaries draining into the Gulf of St Lawrence. According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) of Canada, there is no evidence that Striped bass spawn successfully in any other rivers in New Brunswick other than the Northwest Miramichi river (DFO, 2011).
