The Migratory Fishery The Migratory Fishery Topic 2.5 Markets for Fish An Inshore Fishery Cod was the only important species in early centuries This fishery took place in the shallow waters just off the shoreline La morue seche The French Fishery in Newfoundland La morue séche The French Fishery in Newfoundland The French sailed to Newfoundland every year and fished both offshore (on the Grand Banks) and inshore on the French Treaty Shore (see map p 113) Offshore – the Grand Bank Fishery Ships arrived from France in January – they fished to supply fish for Lent and returned to France A 2nd voyage took place in the summer Fish were caught from platforms on ships with hook and line Fish were preserved with a heavy coating of salt aka the “green fishery” French Fishery cont…. Inshore Fishery 1st fishery near Placentia (Plaisance) on the southern shore Also fished on the north and west coasts – French Treaty Shore (see map p 113) Newfoundland 1768 Placentia/Plaisance – the French capital in Newfoundland Fort Royal The French in Newfoundland Jean Baptiste Colbert, 1619-1683. King Louis XIV's controller general of finances, Jean Baptiste Colbert, encouraged French settlement at Plaisance in order to extend the French involvement in the Newfoundland fisheries, and strengthen the French presence in the New World. The English Migratory Fishery West Country - England http://www.heritage.nf.ca/exp loration/17fishery.html The English Inshore Fishery The shore fishery – ships brought crews and equipment from England. The ships moored along the shore and the fishing was conducted from small boats The fishery lasted from June to August Crews were originally paid a share of the catch by the 18th century they were paid wages Ships left England in March to reach Newfoundland by June trying to claim the best mooring place called “rooms”. These were allotted on first come first served basis The cod followed the capelin and usually struck inshore in June and fishing continued throughout the summer They fished in small, open boats with crews of 3 to 5 men They used lines with baited hooks Shore crews headed, gutted, split, washed, lightly salted and spread the fish to dry on flakes. Lightly salted, dried fish fetched a better price because it was better preserved and lasted longer Suited the English market The first ships returning to England gained the best price and profit Ships remained in England for the winter and were refitted for the spring fishery Bristol England, St. John's, Newfoundland, about 1750.

It was used for lighting, lubrication and in manufacturing The baleen – whalebone - was used in industry End of Basque Whaling? Why????? Possibilities Foreign competition Pirates Conflict with the Inuit Troubles in Spain Decline in number of whales due to overfishing The Basques whale fishery was over by the early 1600s http://www.landoffirstcontact .ca/sites/26-red-bay The Economics of the Fishery The fishery was an unpredictable industry - some merchants became wealthy others went bankrupt Why did merchants go bankrupt? RISKS Merchants spent large sums of money outfitting the ships which was recouped when the fish were sold. Any delays at the end of the season could ruin a merchant Ship wrecks Enemy ships in wartime Pirates Outbreaks of disease Scarcity of fish Bad weather Changing exchange rates Merchant Risk “The merchants lived from season to season in a state of incessant panic, so their well known air of pessimism was surely not surprising.” They have also been described as; “ ….a very discontented body of men.” Risk Management Strict supervision Employ relatives in senior positions (trust) Risks shared with the crew by paying them a share of the value of the fish caught Risky Business Risk Management .

  • Effect of Chilled Temperature and Salt Concentration on Shelf Life of Herring (Clupea Harengus)
    PO Box 1390, Skulagata 4 120 Reykjavik, Iceland FINAL REPORT 2008 EFFECT OF CHILLED TEMPERATURE AND SALT CONCENTRATION ON SHELF LIFE OF HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS) Won Sik An Fisheries Information Division, Ministry of Fisheries Democratic People´s Republic of Korea Botongmun-Dong, Central District, Pyongyang E-mail: [email protected] Supervisors: Kristin A. Thorarinsdottir ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Asbjorn Jonsson ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Irek Klonowski ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research ABSTRACT Keeping the quality of fish and fish products at its best is the most important issue in fish processing. Based on the trend demanding that salted fish reduce salt content for dietary reasons as well as for further processing, this project focused on the extension of shelf life by investigating quality changes during brining in the cold storage of herring (Clupea harengus), the one of the popular foods in DPR Korea. Instead of the traditional salting method, an innovative method has been suggested called cold brining. Cold brining is a processing method expected either to provide a good salty flavour or to extend shelf life for further products by delaying microbiological growth and the chemical changes of the co- operation of ice and salt. In both experiments using fresh whole herring and fillets, five different brine concentrations of 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18%, and five different temperatures of 2, -1, -2, -4, -8 and -24 °C were used for 25 and 18 days, respectively, to select the optimum conditions for cold brining. The results were revealed that the 14% brine at -8 °C can be regarded as optimum condition for pre-cooling of herring.

McDougall Industrial Development Service Department of Fisheries of Canada, Ottawa June 1967 DEHYDRATED FISH FLAKE PROJECT by David Edwards, Brian Prescott and W.D. McDougall Opinions expressed and conclusions reached by the author of this report are not necessarily endorsed by the sponsors of this project This was a project carried out by the Industrial Development Service of the Department of Fisheries of Canada i FOREWORD ~his report summarizes the "Dehydrated Fish Flake Projecttt carried out at the Fish Processing Experimental Plant, formerly operated by the Department of Fisheries of Canada at Valleyfield, Newfoundland. It is based on progress reports and a cost analysis prepared by L.E. Deveau and B.F. King of the Industrial Development Service of the Department of Fisheries of Canada'. SUM1VJARY The manufacture of fish-potato flakes consists of preparing, cooking and coraminuting of fish and preparing, cooking and ricing of potatoes, after which the two ingredients are blended together with additives, drum-dried and packaged. Manufacture of fish-cereal flakes is similar except that water and cereals are substituted for the cooked potatoes in the blending step. A cost study carried out on the fish-potato flake pilot plant project showed a cost of ~ 1.03 per pound for the dried product, not including depreciation, taxes or profit. Various types of fish were tried. Cod, both salted and un­ salted, was the species mostly used, although pollock and hake were also felt to have promise as a product for human consumption.

  • Traditional Uses of Fish Houses in Otter Cove
    TRADITIONAL USES OF FISH HOUSES IN OTTER COVE A Research Report by Charles W. Smythe Ethnography Program Manager, Northeast Region National Park Service Boston, MA Acadia National Park Bar Harbor, Maine November, 2008 The cover image is a photograph of fish houses on the eastern shore of Otter Cove as it was in 1900-1920. The photo, contributed by Virgil Dorr, was published in a history of Otter Creek by Thomas G. Richardson, and appeared in Mount Desert: An Informal History, ed. by Gunnar Hansen (1989: Town of Mount Desert, Maine). Norman Walls, a resident of Otter Creek, remembered these fish houses were in use when he was growing up in the 1940s and ‘50s. He recalled they were owned by the following fishermen (from left to right): Ansel Davis (first two structures), unknown (Richardson?), Chester Walls, Mike and Shirley Bracey, and Harold Walls. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of ethnohistorical research about the customary and traditional uses and practices associated with fish houses in Otter Cove (Mt. Desert Island, Maine) in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Due to the absence of historical records on this topic, this study relies heavily on information provided in oral history interviews with knowledgeable local experts. While the study is focused on Otter Cove, an area within Acadia National Park, it draws on information about the use and function of fish houses throughout Mt. Desert Island and in adjoining coastal regions of Maine. A more in-depth research project on the ethnohistory of fishing and fish houses in Otter Cove will be carried out starting in late 2008.

  • Recipes for When Food Is a Problem Oesophageal and Gastric Cancer Support
    V1.3 Cancer Support Helpline: 0121 704 9860 Recipes for When Food is a Problem Oesophageal and Gastric Cancer Support Registered Charity No. 1062461. THE PROBLEM The Oesophagus (gullet) is an important part of the digestive system, taking food and drink to the stomach. A problem with the gullet therefore needs treatment – maybe by medicines, stretching it a little, placing a tube (stent) inside it, or taking it out. Whatever the treatment or the cause, the problems affect us fundamentally because the basic function of eating is not as it should be, and that can affect our weight, strength, taste, habits and enjoyment of life. WHO WE ARE The Oesophageal Patients Association is a national registered charity and was formed in 1985 when a few former oesophageal cancer patients met and found tremendous reassurance in sharing experiences. The members of the Association are all patients and carers who have experienced oesophageal or gastric difficulties. We have preparedmedically approved booklets and fact sheets on the problems, which we can talk about at first hand, understanding the fears that can be generated, the pains that can be suffered, and the effects on the digestive system that can be experienced. WHAT WE DO Our objectives are to help new patients, carers, and their families to cope with any difficulties arising as a result of treatment, giving support and encouraging them to achieve a good quality of life. This is done by providing information leaflets on matters of concern, a telephone support line, arranging patient support meetings around the UK and, where possible, visiting patients in hospital or making contact during their convalescence.
