In eastern Canada, the marine fishing industry is based upon the capture, processing, and distribution of groundfish stocks. The areas fished are ideal for the reproduction of the economically important species such as the gadids and the pleuronectids. The presence of a partially enclosed body of water, such as the Gulf of St. Lawrence is also ideal for the capture of the mature fish. The ice factor encountered in a climate of such extremes forms an interesting, enforced, natural means of conserving the younger stock by limiting the duration of the fishing season. [.]
