Abstract

The coastline of several thousand miles - from Quebec’s Gasp6 through New Brunswick’s French shore to Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton and including the Island Province of Prince Edward Island - embraces approximately one thousand herring gillnet vessels ranging from 3Oft to 44ft in size with two and three fishermen a vessel. In the fall herring roe fishery of the Southern Gulf, these fishermen land approximately 50.000 tons of herring. It is an inshore fishery involving scores of small communities. Michael Belliveau, general secretary of the Maritime Fishermen’s Union, describes below his reflections on the strike of the summer of 88.
