Norfish 13 French Newfoundland cod fishery 1500-1790

The extent of French cod fishing effort in Newfoundland and along the Grand Banks provides a serious challenge in terms of enumerating the annual catches and landings. Through extensive archival and research work, records have been uncovered, transcribed and analysed that shed some light on the lacuna of quantitative assessment data.

法国在纽芬兰（Newfoundland）及大浅滩（Grand Banks）海域的鳕鱼捕捞作业规模庞大，致使年度捕捞量与上岸渔获量的统计工作面临严峻挑战。通过开展大规模档案整理与相关研究工作，一批相关捕捞记录已被发掘、转录并分析，这为填补定量评估数据的空白提供了一定的参考依据。
