Industrial Development and the Atlantic Fishery: Opportunities for Manufacturing and Skilled Workers in the 1980s

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 spinoffs 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. 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.Patton, Donald J. is the author of 'Industrial Development and the Atlantic Fishery: Opportunities for Manufacturing and Skilled Workers in the 1980s', published 1981 under ISBN 9780888625328 and ISBN 0888625324.
