Fault-Lines and Fishing: Bioregulation as Social Struggle on Island Newfoundland
Keywords:
fault-lines, salmonid fishing, bioregulation, rural/urban, class, NewfoundlandAbstract
The bioregulation of salmonid species on island
Newfoundland shows how specific social fault-lines can en
hance, cross-cut or combine in new ways to affect larger struc
tural formations, such as class and rural/urban divides. Seem
ingly innocuous regulatory bureaucracies involving sport
versus subsistence fishing can serve as technologies of power
and disguise larger issues involving social and economic con
trol over rural and lower-class populations. Fault-lines show
that these forms of control do not have uniform effects and can
result in a complicated practice that has to take into account
pressures emitting from the regulators and the regulated.
