	Journal of Canadian Studies: Benefiting fishermen: Origins of fisherman's unemployment insurance in Canada, 1935-1957 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This paper describes the debates concerning the desirability of extending the unemployment insurance system to fishermen, from the original parliamentary debate on unemployment insurance in 1935, through the enactment of the enabling legislation in 1956, to the implementation of fishermen's unemployment insurance in April 1957.
		Whether his advocacy arose from a belief that an injustice was being done to fishermen, or from an appreciation that supporting unemployment insurance for fishermen would be a popular position for a Newfoundland politician to take, or a combination of both, is not particularly germane to this paper.
		A long struggle ensued, with fishermen and their allies promoting the extension of coverage against the determined opposition of officials in the Department of Fisheries and the Unemployment Insurance Commission.2 Finally, in 1957, the programme was extended to fishermen.

		California scuba divers are upset with commercial squid fishermen, accusing them of jeopardizing night divers by detonating small explosives to protect their catch from hungry seals and sea lions.

	Sitnews -Stories in the News - Ketchikan, Alaska - News: Trade Assistance For Alaska Fishermen Announced
		By the change Alaska's open water fishermen will finally be able to qualify for part of a $90 million compensation fund for this year being established by the Bush Administration to help workers who have been unfairly affected by competition because of foreign trade.
		Alaska fishermen, who have seen the prices for wild salmon cut in half or worse over the past five years*, have not actually benefited from TAA because they frequently work on boats with fewer than three workers or independently operate their own vessels, selling to local fish processors or canneries not larger corporations.
		We are not giving fishermen handouts, only the aid they deserve until government and fishermen, working together, can help straighten out the markets for seafood and turn the pricing process around," she said.

	Fishermen's Band-aid
		Increased restrictions have limited the number of days fishermen can go out on the water, and now, as part of a research collaboration, regulators are actually paying the fishermen to catch fish and throw them back.

		Other fishermen (a minority, but just how many is not clear) have refused to take part in the research because they do not trust the regulators.
