Distant-water fishing, that is, fishing in areas far removed from a country's domestic waters, existed well before the 19th century industrialization with, for example, Europeans fishing for Atlantic cod... off Newfoundland... Increasing competition between domestic and foreign fishing vessels for national fisheries resources was one of the motivations behind the series of international negotiations in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea...

An industrial fishery... refers to the high level of technology, investment, and impact it brings to a fishery. These fisheries, with few exceptions in marine fisheries, use big boats that are worth millions of dollars and often are equipped with technology capable of efficient, giant catches. Boats may stay out on fishing trips anywhere from a few weeks to years, and includes both local and foreign fishing fleets.

OBS

In 1964, Congress passed the Bartlett Act(Pub. L. No 88-308, 78 Stat. 194) which excluded foreign vessels from fishing within the United States’ territorial sea, defined as all ocean waters within three miles from the coast. Two years later, Congress passed the Contiguous Fisheries Zone Act(Pub. L. No. 89-658, 80 Stat. 908), which created a nine-mile contiguous zone extending out from the three-mile limit, from which foreign fishing vessels would be excluded. These acts and treaties failed to protect U. S. fisheries as they were intended to. The Bartlett Act provided no authority for federal management measures, limiting the federal government's role to data collection and law enforcement against foreign fishers. Other nations also found their fisheries to be suffering, as most treaties provided no means of enforcement against nations who had not chosen to enter into an agreement. As a result, several countries moved to extend the area of their marine jurisdiction. By 1975, of the parties involved in ongoing law-of-the-sea negotiations, sixty nations including the United States, favored a twelve-mile territorial sea and a two-hundred-mile resource conservation zone.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Fish and fish products imported into Canada are inspected to prevent the marketing of unsafe, unwholesome or mislabled products. Increased inspection effort is directed at foreign processors which have demonstrated a history of poor compliance with Canadian standards. The costs of the Import Inspection Program are partially recovered. Importers must obtain an import licence and are also required to pay an inspection services fee for each shipment of fish imported plus examination fees for products that have a history of non-compliance.

Pêches et Océans Canada. Le poisson et les produits du poisson importés au Canada sont inspectés afin de prévenir la commercialisation de produits malsains, présentant des dangers pour la santé ou étiquetés incorrectement. Aux Services d'inspection, on oriente une plus grande partie des efforts sur les transformateurs étrangers qui ont déjà enfreint les normes canadiennes. Le recouvrement des coûts du Programme d'inspection des importations est assuré en partie. Les importateurs doivent obtenir un permis d'importation et ils sont également tenus de payer les coûts des services d'inspection pour chaque envoi de poisson importé, auxquels s'ajoutent les frais d'examen des produits qui ont déjà posé un problème.
