Articles liés à Cod: The Ecological History of the North Atlantic Fisheries
Synopsis
The devastation of many of the greatest North Atlantic cod stocks, particularly those of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Grand Banks, has become an icon for the unsustainable relation between human exploitation and Nature. Here, George Rose tells the full story of that devastation, in scientific detail, for the first time - from the formation of the North Atlantic marine ecosystems to the massive stock declines in the last half of the 20th century. Politics and the fisheries are inextricably entwined. In Cod, Rose recounts the many political influences on the fisheries over several centuries and describes how neglect from the late 1800s onward led to insufficient scientific knowledge and little protection for the stocks when massive Euro-Russian fleets targeted the Grand Banks after World War II, destroying the most prolific fishery the world has known. Cod is no armchair account, but a controversial one that includes original information on the North Atlantic fisheries.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Cod: The Ecological History of the North Atlantic Fisheries; George A. Rose; Breakwater Books Ltd., St. John's NL, 2007. Presentation inscription from the author dated 2007. From the Preface - There are places and species that have become inextricably linked in human history and in the human mind have taken on mythic proportions. There is no stronger definition, no stronger attachment ot symbolism, than Newfoundland and Labrador with the Atlantic cod. Even now, with the cod almost gone, the knot holds. Defying economic rationalization, many fishermen remain more excited catching one cod worth two dollars than tonnes of crab worth thousands. They catch crab but dream of cod. This is why the decline of the once vast and seemingly boundless cod fishery in the late 1900s, after 500 years of fisheries that drove European economies and fed millions, has not only devasted a marine economy but perhaps more importantly, debased a unique culture. The fisheries and biological information on which the book is based was researched from original documents and my own work over the past 25 years. The book is scientifically accurate and up to date as possible. This hardcover book, 591 pages, is near-fine condition, due to very slight bumps on the covers. What looks like orange discolouration on the covers is actually from a faint background map. The book is well illustrated and is full of charts and diagrams with copious references and footnotes. The author is a professor at Memorial University in St. John's and has a doctorate in biology from McGill University. Inscribed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 2682b
