shore � n The terms as they were used by Canadians and Newfoundlanders in days gone by presented two different meanings. When Newfoundlanders referred to the shore fishery they meant that the men who were engaged at the industry were fishing from shore-based premises, not from a schooner; whereas when Canadians used the term inshore fishery it meant that the undertaking was being carried out by men who fished on grounds near the shore, not on the farflung Banks. [Nice question here for the definer since it is the exlpoitation of fishing grounds near the shore which is important] PRINTED ITEM DNE Sup G.M.
