A bit of history
• Fishing for trade purposes pre-dates European settlement
• Importance reflected in oral histories and explorers’ accounts
• Onandaga eel clan

A bit more history
• 1st record of “commercial fishing” in Ontario at Burlington Bay in 1790s
• Commercial fishing on all Great Lakes by 1830s
• Well established, although limited in scale, by 1850s
• Small local markets and poor transportation to population centres limited growth at first

Fisheries Industry Configuration
•Typically 70-85% of Ontario’s landed value from Lake
Erie).
•Processing capacity heavily concentrated on western
Lake Erie.
•Except for ACFL fisheries, exclusively private sector,
with licences and processing capacity held individually, in
partnerships and by companies.
•No access to farm credit lending facilities or government
guarantees of credit
•Processing and production continue to consolidate

Fisheries Management Strategies
•There is a strong bias favouring recreational and charter angling in
public policy
•Since 1984 the commercial fishery has primarily been managed by
individual transferable quotas (ITQs).
•Quotas for most fisheries are set annually by the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources based upon information from fisheries catch
statistics and assessments.
•US management agencies involved in setting TACs through the
Great Lakes Fishery Commission.
•Some First Nations have developed allocation and management
processes that are independently administered.
![Page 19: 315 PM -B- PANEL INDUCTIRAL CASE - PETER Meisenheimer](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042720/568c38951a28ab02359f66d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Some Important Dates
• 1981 – Joint Strategic Plan for Management of Great Lakes
Fisheries signed.
• 1982 – Agreement reached between the Ontario industry and OMNR
on “modernizing” the fishery. Formally signed off on by both parties.
• 1985 – Individual transferable quotas implemented as per
agreement. JSPMGLF review. Change of government.
• 1988 – Zebra mussels reported in Lake St. Clair.
• 1990 – Yellow perch TACs added to LEC mandate.
• 1997 – JSPMGLF revised.
![Page 20: 315 PM -B- PANEL INDUCTIRAL CASE - PETER Meisenheimer](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042720/568c38951a28ab02359f66d8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The 1982 Ontario “Modernization” Process
• Detailed discussion of issues by managers and
commercial fishery stakeholders
• Aboriginal and non-aboriginal fisheries represented
• Ontario only & fully transparent
• Gaps in understanding and points of contention
specified
• Decisions taken collaboratively
• Signoff by all parties to the decision-making process
• Implementation halted in 1985
![Page 21: 315 PM -B- PANEL INDUCTIRAL CASE - PETER Meisenheimer](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042720/568c38951a28ab02359f66d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Joint Strategic Plan and its products
•Inter-governmental agreement
•Consensus model
•Aims for uniformity of regulation and enforcement
•Decisions made by agency personnel after public
consultation, but in camera.
•Stakeholders not formally involved in technical and
management deliberations
•Degree of public consultation on management decisions
varies by jurisdiction and lake

• Capital and credit
• Royalties
• “Green” energy
• Invasive species

“I have chosen this project
because my father has
been a commercial
fisherman for all of his life.
He is 41 years old now. I
enjoy when I am allowed
to go fishing with my dad
and the crew.”
![Page 32: 315 PM -B- PANEL INDUCTIRAL CASE - PETER Meisenheimer](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042720/568c38951a28ab02359f66d8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
“My great-great-
grandfather Joseph
Herbert Sr. fished with
wooden boats out of
Cheboygan Michigan in
the USA and Killarney.
Commercial fishing was
very prosperous in
Georgian Bay between
the 1880s and the 1930s.
We believe that my great-
great-grandfather started
fishing in 1867 with his
wife Josephine Solomon
at his side in Killarney.”

“Commercial fishing has
been in my family for four
generations, and I intend
to continue this on to the
fifth generation, which is
me.”
