stationer n There are three classes of fishermen: [Labrador fishery] the _liviers_, who live the year round on the Labrador; the _stationers_, who come to the Labrador each season as passengers on the coastal steamers or on the schooners, and return to Newfoundland in the autumn; and the _floaters_, who come from Newfoundland as members of crews of fishing vessels, and who operate with the vessel throughout the season. The floaters, like the liviers and the stationers, operate from the shore, but the floaters use the vessel as a depot for the fish and move with the vessel from port to port as the run of fish varies.
