Pretty interesting seeing the differences.
The fact that the ships don't have live holding tanks being the biggest. Also that the traps are on a long line.
Also I can't believe that the crab are loaded into a truck and driven 4hrs to get to a processor! Makes me think the fishery is very small and cant attract a business to process the fish at the harbor.
Pretty cool stuff though.

Makes me think the fishery is very small and cant attract a business to process the fish at the harbor. Pretty cool stuff though. Crab is just one of Newfoundland's fisheries. Ever since Cod fishing was banned, most skippers also have licences and carry gear for mackerel, herring, shrimp, flatfish (turbot), AND capelin (CAPE-lin, a kind of anchovy). Hauls are smaller than the ones you see on DC because most boats aren't even half the size of the Northwestern (no room for tanks) and a $40,000 payday is considered a "Bonanza" ! (When I was a Student in Toronto, there were 3 "Outport" Newfoundlanders in my Class. One Friday night they decided to teach us "Mainlanders" some of their slang.. A few phrases managed to stick in my beer-addled brain! ) |

Just a follow up to the above: if you're lucky enough to one day visit Newfoundland ("da Rock"), explain that you're a "Come From Away" (tourist), and you might get yourself invited to "A Scoff an' a Scuff" (community supper followed by dancing). And remember "Lor' Tunderin" is just the equivalent of "Holy Cow!" |

A few phrases managed to stick in my beer-addled brain! ) Lots of differences. The Nefoundland and east cost of Quebec snow crab fishery got its start in the 80's. These guys have been on a IFQ system since the mid 80's at least (no derby) All IFQ in any particular zone are the same size. Essentally TAC Total allowable catch divided by number of licenses. Generally harder to transfer lease quota as the license owner is supposed to be on the vessel while its being caught. The reason for the trucking to the processer is it is more efficient. NFLD is all one island with a decent road system and many small harbours where most of the fishermen are based. Cheaper (and quicker 50 mph highway vs 10 knots) to land the catch in a closer harbour and truck it to the pland rather than the long steam to the plant. Generally these guys haugh gear and deliver to plant the same day so no need for live tanks although the clip show was a longer trip. The clips are from a discovery canada show called Salt water Cowboys (kind of a newfoundland deadliest catch) The boats all fish multiple species herring mackerall crab caplin etc. The second vessel Midnight shadow is the NW of the show. the first kind of equivilant to the TB. Some others are as disfunctional as some of the boats on season 1 of DC. |
