Abstract
Although the cod fishery has most often been central to the many studies of socio- ecological change in Newfoundland during the past 20 years, other species and industries were also significant to the island’s past. This article examines the lobster fishery on the island’s west coast. Its main argument is that while changes in the cod fishery were important for the lobster fishery in this part of the island, the industry was intimately linked with and shaped by the nature of lobsters themselves, by alterations in local and regional ecological circumstances, and by the changing nature of a northeastern North American regional economy.Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the author(s), with Acadiensis being granted a non-exclusive licence to each and every right in the work throughout the world.
