The decline of the herring fishery in northern Northumberland Strait and its possible causes / by S.N. Messieh.Fs70-8/78-5E-PDF

"In a report to the Canso Marine Environment Workshop, Dartmouth, November 1977, on "the possible effect of the Canso causeway on the herring fishery" (Messieh and Moore 1977), catch data showed a dramatic decline in the northern Northumberland Strait herring landings in the 1950's. A discussion on the interpretation of the decline in this fishery and its possible causes led to two different views: one that the decline is apart of a general phenomenon common to other herring fisheries in the Gulf, particularly the spring inshore fisheries, and the other that it is caused by the closure of the Canso Strait"--page 1.
