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.

    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.

  • 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
