Residents of the community evacuated the settlement recently under the Provincial Government's resettlement program. The Bait Depot at Rencontre West was constructed and operated by the Newfoundland Department of Natural Resources in 1937. in 1949 in accordance with the Terms of Union the Newfoundland Bait Service became the responsibility of the Federal Department of Fisheries. Subsequent additions to the plant brought the storage capacity to 300,000 pounds. In 1965, the Department of Fisheries extended the wharf adjacent to the Bait Depot to accommodate the Department's floating bait carrier C.G.S. "ARCTICA". The first operator of the Bait Depot was Samuel Beauchamp. His son James joined him as Assistant Bait Depot Operator in September 1938 and was appointed to the position of Chief Operator on August 3, 1940. - 0 - 0 0 - BID FAREWELL TO ERIC DUNNE Branch Heads gathered in Building 303 July 31 to bid farewell to Eric Dunne who served as head of the Economics Branch since 1965. Eric has left the Department to take up new duties as an Economist with the Newfoundland Government's Department of Economic Development. A native of Renews, Eric graduated from Memorial University with a Bachelor of Commerce and B. A. degrees in 1964 and at this year's convocation of Memorial received his Masters degree in Economics. He joined the Department in February, 1965, as a Junior Executive Officer with the Economics Branch. Eric is married to the former Mary King and they have one daughter Shelly Marie. *********** OBITUARY The father of Harold Murphy, a technician with Resource Development Branch, passed away July 21. Deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. - 0 - 0 - 0 - 2 2 POACHER FINED ,$'15 Convicted of a breach of the Newfoundland Fishery Regulations, a resident of Chapel Arm, Trinity Bay, was fined 3;35 in court at Whitbourne Wednesday. The man was charged with having a net in his possession at Spread Eagle River, a scheduled salmon stream. He was apprehended by Fisheries Warden Neil Woodman and the prosecution was conducted by Mr. Woodman and Fishery Officer Fred Fleming. ********* NOTES FROM THE FIELD DISTRICT "A1' An early assessment of the cod trap fishery indicates a rather poor catch in most Bays. Highliners are the operators from Port de Grave fishing the "Cape" area. In other areas catches were "spotty" but not a failure. This phase of the fishery started well, but petered out prior to departure of caplin. Minor amounts are still being taken, but traps are now being removed and attention focused upon other means of supply. Gillnets are producing fairly well in Bonavista and Trinity Bays, and this together with trap fish is keeping plants in operation on something less than full time basis at the month's end. A few boats are operating in the Cape St. Mary's area but more activity may be expected in August. Offshore vessels landed fair to excellent catches mostly flounder. Reports of the lobster fishery indicate clearly a drop in catch, also that a lesser number of fishermen were engaged. Prices were high and partially made up the difference in income. Excellent catches of salmon by commercial fisher- mer were taken in most areas particularly the Cape Shore. This fishery was closing down at the time of writing. Protection Officers met all tricks of the poachers trade with their usual equanimity. Salmonier River catch by rod is now in excess of 1,000 fish. North West Trepassey and Branch Rivers are still producing. By all accounts a very successful run. Water levels are now low but most of the fish are well upstream. During helicopter patrols over 100 beaver dams were cleared from various rivers of the District and large numbers of fish liberated. 3 -3- Inspection staff fought the quality, high temperature, and registration problems with more than usual vigor. Clean-up, detentions, and finally closures were daily routine matters. Possibly the worst is past for 1970. Inspection of salted fish increased during the last two weeks of July. Apparently markets are strong and as little delay as possible is desired by agents of the Marketing Board in order to avoid quality deterioration. Recently released price increases appear to have satisfied most fishermen and an increase in salted fish production is possible should the fall fishery be productive. Fishery Officer A. Andrews entered hospital to undergo surgery July 24. A week's stay plus several more convalesencing at home is expected. Happily, recovery is assured. A Faux'Pas. An officer who remains anonymous hailed the lady of the house offering her husband a salmon license (it being that season). The reply "Heaven help us Sir, my man has been dead for the last six weeks." What would you have said? The Lost Owner. A reminder in the form of a receiving report for an item provided for this District has presently gone to five officers - and no owner. The office humorist suggested we write a prayer at the top and send it on in the form of a chain letter; then everybody could sign. Stats are remarkably silent today. At 80 0F they are probably too enervated to call. 0 - 0 - 0 - DISTRICT "B" The trap fishery on the Burin Peninsula is spotty and on some days no fish are landed at all. Contributing to the poor catches are the scarcity of caplin and unseasonable weather conditions, especially high winds. The caplin which usually spawn in high numbers along the shore are not so plentiful as in previous years. The decrease in the cod catches have resulted in periods of no activity at processing plants. Codfish catches along other parts of the coast using trawls, handlines, nets and ji ,2.- gers have ranged from fair to good. 4 - 4 - Salmon angling on restricted rivers has shown an increase over previous years and Conservation and Protection staff had to operate at a brisk pace to con- tend with varying situations. Conne and Garnish Rivers lead the sporting activities while most of the other larger rivers are encountering high numbers of anglers also. Water levels have ranged from medium to high in most sections of the District thus giving salmon the opportunity to ascend the headwaters. By late July salmon were found along the whole routes of all restricted rivers. During the spring runoff part of Main Brook on the Tides Brook system was diverted and the channel changed in a mile long section. The new channel was such that salmon would not have been capable of proceeding beyond that point. A front-end loader was engaged and succeeded in reverting the river back to its former course just in time for the first salmon runs. A number of trout and young salmon which became trapped in pools while the work was being carried out were transferred by personnel back to the main channel. A trawler was apprehended fishing inside the three mile limit near Rencontre West and information has been laid against the Captain. The Captain of the "ANNE C. SPENCER" was fined :$200.00 and had the codend confiscated when charged with using undersized mesh gear while fishing for regulated fish species; one other case of this nature is pending. A man and wife from Grand Bank were each fined , 35.00 under Section 39 of the Fisheries Act; other residents of the same town were also convicted of charges resulting from fishing for salmon illegally. The RCMP and Town Constable assisted in patrols of Grand Bank Brook and actually caught three of the violators. Deepest sympathy is extended by District "B" staff to Fishery Officer and Mrs. West of Burgeo who lost their son through drowning on July 2. The lad had been swimming in a pond near the town when the incident occurred. A report of oil pollution at Bay L'Argent was checked and found negative. Ancther report of this nature resulting from the spillage of 1200 gallons of oil from an oil truck near Lawn was investigated; damage to a nearby stream was considered negligible. Lobsters can sometimes show up in the most unlikely places. A fisherman from St. Bernard's found three small lobsters in the gut of a codfish. Just another example of the complicated chain of life in the sea. ********* 5 DISTRICT "C" The weather during the month was quite changeable with temperatures ranging from the low forties to the high seventies. On occasion strong to gale force winds were experienced in the northern and western sections of the District. Rainfall was heavy on times but we did manage to get a few clear sunny days. In the St. Barbe area trawl and gilinet fishermen report fish as being very scarce especially around Port au Choix. However, with the number of boats operating landings were sufficient to keep the plant at Port au Choix in operation and around mid month the plant began operating on two shifts. In areas of the Port au Port Peninsula, however, fishermen using gillnets, jiggers and trawl made some good catches when weather conditions permitted them to get on the grounds. Danish seiners fishing in the Bay St. George area also enjoyed good fishing. While a goodly number of salmon anglers visited our many rivers during the month only a very few were successful in taking their limit. In just about all rivers the total individual returns to date are down considerably compared with last season.

Follow these procedures to minimize injury to fish: • Barbless hooks must be used. • Do not use a tailer. • When using a landing net, use one with knotless mesh, as it is less harmful to fish scales, gills and eyes. • A leader tip should be heavy enough to bring in large salmon quickly, or light enough to allow large salmon to break off. • Move to a quiet water location. • Bring the fish quickly into reach, or break it off after a couple of runs. • Do not beach the salmon; keep the entire salmon underwater as much as possible. • Handle the salmon gently; do not squeeze the fish and avoid touching the gills and eyes. Loss of scales and damage to the gills caused by pressure on the gills or by removal from the water are the most serious injuries a salmon can suffer. • Remove the hook gently with pliers or with your thumb and forefinger. If the hook must be left in, cut the leader as close to it as possible. • Support the fish under the belly, keeping it in an upright position, underwater and facing into the current.

  • The French, English and a Fish: How They Transformed the Island of Newfoundland, 1696-1713 by Jacquelyn Irene-Rose George
    The French, English and a Fish: How They Transformed the Island of Newfoundland, 1696-1713 by Jacquelyn Irene-Rose George A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee Susan Gray, Chair Victoria Thompson Kent Wright ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2016 ABSTRACT Newfoundland is an island on the east coast of Canada that is mostly forgotten to the study of history. This paper looks in depth at the fighting between France and England between 1696 and 1713, which in Europe coincided with the Nine Years’ War and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1696, fighting broke out on Newfoundland between England and France because of the Nine Years’ War. Pierre le Moyne d’Iberville, a French officer, commanded the attacks on over twenty English settlements. The attacks lasted less than a year. Attacks would happen again because of the War of the Spanish Succession. France and England would attack each other trying to gain control of the prized commodity of the island, the cod fish. This study looks at how French and English fighting on Newfoundland helped to change the landscape and shaped the way the history of the French and English on the island is portrayed today. Historians tend to look more at the modern history of the island such as: soldiers in World War I and World War II, when Newfoundland became a Canadian province, and the English history of the island. This study argues that, by studying French and English fighting on the island, we can better see the historical significance of Newfoundland.

  • Introduction Relocating Within the Fisheries
    TOPIC 4.5 Why would the population of the province fluctuate? What is the trend of population change in your community? What might be the impact of this trend? Introduction According to the 1901 Census, Newfoundland had lived in communities along the coast and made their a population of 220 984, including 3947 people living through the fishery – 70.6 per cent of the working recorded in Labrador. The population continued population. However, the fishing grounds of the east to increase through the first half of the twentieth coast had become overcrowded and families found it century, despite significant emigration to Canada and increasingly difficult to make a living in this industry. the United States. The geographical distribution of Consequently, people in some of the long-established people also began to change in response to push and fishing communities left their homes in search of less pull factors in the economy. Thousands of people populated bays where there would be less competition chose to leave their homes and relocate to regions that for fish.

  • Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador
    FEDERAL ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES COMMISSION FOR THE PROVINCE OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR PROPOSAL Part I – Introduction and Overview The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (the Commission) was established on February 21, 2012, pursuant to the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. E-3 (the Act). The Commission is composed of Julie Eveleigh, Member, Herbert Clarke, Deputy Chairperson, and the Honourable Keith Mercer, Chairperson. The Commission’s task is to consider and report on the readjustment of the boundaries of the electoral districts of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (the Province) as required upon completion of the 2011 decennial census. The 2011 decennial census established the population of the Province at 514,536. In accordance with subsection 14(1) of the Act, the Chief Electoral Officer has determined that the census and section 51 of the Constitution Act, 1867 dictate the representation of the Province in the House of Commons remaining at seven (7) members, therefore requiring seven electoral districts. The Act provides that the population of each electoral district shall correspond as closely as reasonably possible to the electoral quota for the province, which is determined by dividing the provincial population by the number of electoral districts. The electoral quota for the Province according to that calculation is 73,505. The Act further provides that the Commission may deviate from that quota having regard to the factors of community of interest
