Cod fishing in Newfoundland
Cod fishing in Newfoundland
was carried out at a
subsistence
level for centuries, but large scale fishing began shortly after the
European discovery of the North American continent
in 1492, with the waters being found to be
preternaturally
plentiful, and ended after intense
overfishing
with the collapse of the fisheries in the 1992
