  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

The practice of buying 'tal qual' (meaning without culling, and paying the same price for fish no matter what the quality) reduced the incentive for fishermen to produce a superior product so that the quality, and therefore the price, of Newfoundland salt fish had suffered by 1914.

CONT

Ces marchés achetaient du poisson de moindre qualité, ce qui indique que la qualité générale de la morue salée de Terre-Neuve avait diminué. La pratique d'achat «tal qual» (tel quel, sans tri préalable, à un prix de base sans égard à la qualité du poisson) décourageait les pêcheurs de produire un produit de qualité supérieure, ce qui a affecté à la baisse la qualité et le prix de la morue salée de Terre-Neuve en 1914.
