    8 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIE'..l Vol. 11, No o 10 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC iREGIONS PART 11- OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIOLOGY AND THE METHODS OF COLLECTING AND PROCESSING THE MUSSEL By Leslie W. Scattergood ~'" and Clyde C. Taylor -~H;~ ' INTRODUCTION This is the second of three papers concerning the World War II efforts to develop a mussel fishery in the North Atlantic region. The first article dealt with the survey to discover whether supplies o! mussels were great enough to sup­ port a large fishery. The present paper is concerned with biolcgical and techno­ logical observations made during the mussel survey. SIZES OF MUSSELS Table 3 reveals some interesting characteristics of the size distribution of the mussels on the beds. An examination of the table shows that there are many localities in which there is no well defined and distinct mode indicative of the young from the summer's set. Only Pleasant River, Narraguagus ~ , . ' :' Ri ver, Winter Harbor, and Dux­ ~. bury Bay have such modes. The absence of distinct year-size groups is even more a pparent in the areas below low tide at Ingall's Island, Jim's Island, Moon Ledge, Skillings River, Sheep Island, Mackerel Cove, Maddaket Harbor, and off Brew­ ster.

  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

Januar 1950 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC REGION ~RT J --THE SURVEY TO DISCOVER THE LOCATIONS AND AREAS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC MUSSEL-PRODUCING BEDS By Leslie W. Scattergood~~ and Clyde C, Taylor ~d~ '!his is the first of three papers discussing the World War II pro­ motion of the North Atlantic mussel fishery. The present article is primarily concerned "'i th the quantitative resul ts of a survey of the productivi~ of mussel areas. INTRODUCTION During the recent war, the fishing industry had tte problem of increasing its production despite relative shortages of manpower, equipment, and materials o One of the ways of efficiently augmenting the catch of fish and shellfish was to uti­ lize species ordinarily disregarded. One of the probable sources of sea food was the edible mussel (yGtilus edulis), which is so common along , the North Atlantic Coast of the United States. This species cap be harvested dur­ ing that time of the year when the small-boat fishery is least active. In the late winter and the spring months, the mussels a,re in good con­ dition for marketing, as it is then that they reach their fattest condition, and in this period other fishing activities are at a low level. The mussel, although relatively unknown to the American public p has attained great popularity in Europe. Large quantities have been consumed in European coun­ tries for hundreds of yearso The annual English, Welsh, and Scotch production of this shellfish, as re­ corded in the statistical reports of the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fish­ eries" ave,raged about 19 million pounds ("in the shell" weight) for the lS-year period between 1924 and 1938.

  • The Dirty History of Portland Harbor
    Reprinted from a 1994 publication The Dirty History of Portland Harbor hen scientists began looking closely at the sediments and at W the bottom of Casco Bay beginning in the early 1980s, they confronted a pollution puzzle. Sediments taken from various locations throughout the Bay, and especially in Portland Harbor, held a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals. Until we know more about how these heavy metals, pesticides and other compounds affect marine life, it’s hard to know what lasting impact the pollution in Casco Bay may have. But it was decided that the more we know about where those pollutants came from, the better chances we will have in preventing future problems. The Casco Bay Estuary Project (now Casco Bay Early industry was limited by natural energy sources, like this tidal mill at Estuary Partnership) commissioned environmental Stroudwater. (courtesy: Sullivan Train & Photo) historian Edward Hawes to do some detective work, hoping that he could turn up some puzzle pieces from the Casco Bay. Lead, cadmium and mercury concentrations were watersheds that feed the Bay. The industrial legacy he found comparatively high in Back Cove, as were lead and mercury was a surprise to almost anyone who thinks they know the in the inner Fore River. Lead was also relatively high in the Portland area. Presumpscot River estuary. Additional metals — nickel, silver, arsenic, chromium A Pollution Problem and zinc — were evident in lesser concentrations. This widespread contamination was a little mystifying. In this age hen investigators began sampling Casco Bay’s of environmental regulation, how could so much pollution sediments in the 1980s, levels of pollution have landed in the Bay?
