Quinlan Bros. to be sold to Royal Greenland in another N.L. fishery shakeup

March 15, 2020 Canada, International News

In a stunning move, the owners of Quinlan Brothers Limited — one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s largest and best-known seafood processing companies — have announced the proposed sale of their company to Royal Greenland. The sale involves the transfer of licenses, so it is subject to provincial government approval. The deal is expected to close later this year, following the end of the 2020 processing season. If approved, the deal will mean that Quinlan Brothers Limited and Quin-Sea Fisheries Limited will once again be under common ownership. >click to read< 11:57

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
