Industrial Development and the Atlantic Fishery
Opportunities for Manufacturing and Skilled Workers in the 1980s
by Donald Patton
Written at a time of great change and optimism in Canada's fisheries, Industrial Development and the Atlantic Fishery presents scenarios for the development of an expanded industry into the 1980s and beyond.
Published in 1981, this book identified key opportunities for Canadian fishing firms and provided estimates of potential markets for shipbuilders and related manufacturers.
Traditionally, the federal government did not give sufficient weight to the potential of spin-offs from the fishery for strengthening Canadian manufacturing, particularly in Atlantic Canada. The author presented a range of concrete proposals to support the efforts of industries and entrepreneurs wanting to take advantage of opportunities in the fisheries.
