  3. Canadian Fishery • Three main fisheries: • Atlantic • Pacific • Freshwater • Each fishery faces the same two problems: • Overfishing • Pollution

  4. Canadian Fishery Figures from the Department of Agriculture • The industry is worth more than $5 billion a year. • Provides more than 130,000 jobs to Canadians. • Economic mainstay of approximately 1,500 communities in rural and coastal Canada.

  5. Atlantic Fishery • John Cabot reached the shores of Newfoundland in 1497. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=261-NYB7Sko&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1

  6. Atlantic Fishery Inshore Fishery: • Independent fishers use small boats to fish in the waters close to the coastline. They come home every night. • High overhead costs. • Pay is irregular but it is a way of life.

  7. Atlantic Fishery Inshore Fishery continued: • Catch includes: lobster, shrimp, oysters, clams, herring, mackerel, haddock, pollock, redfish, hake and halibut. • Cost of a new vessel: $200,000. • Only 5 to 20 m in length.

  8. Inshore fishing boats

  9. Atlantic Fishery Offshore Fishery: • Use large company owned vessels like trawlers to fish in waters far from shore. • Can withstand bad weather conditions better than inshore fishers. Can operate all year long. • Only 15% fishers work in the offshore but it takes 90% of the catch.

  10. Atlantic Fishery Offshore Fishery continued: • Huge nets that drag along ocean floor. • The boats have their own processing equipment on board. • 20 to 5o m in length. Can cost as much as 5 million to build. • Can make 24,000 in one year as opposed to 6,000 in the inshore fishery (1990 figures).
