The fishers and communities of St. Anthony area had to adjust the cod collapse in Atlantic Canada of early 1990’s. During this time, it has become obvious that not only fishery but also the area cannot survive some resource changes.
Today, the collapse of cod is already regarded as a thing of the past and fishers and fisheries have arrived at the new stage and become relatively stable. While the number of fishers is increasing, those of enterprises and fishing vessels, which are almost small, are decreasing. Fishers’ incomes have risen because cod fishery was replaced snow crab fishery.
For the future, industries and fisheries should become diversity and flexible in order to maintain fishery as well as the area.
