Ottawa : Fisheries and Oceans, 1999.(Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. 2267). Abstract :"This report summarizes 89 papers from the primary(53) and secondary(33) scientific literature that describe the diet and feeding ecology of demersal fish that occur on the Grand Bank, Scotian Shelf, and nearby waters. Individual studies are summarized in an annotated bibliography. The results are combined to gain an overview of the diet and feeding ecology of several of the best studied, most common, and commercially important species(4 gadids, 3 pleuronectids, redfish, wolffish, and eelpout) that occur on the Scotian Shelf and Grand Bank.

paramountcy : The legislation of the Parliament of the Dominion, so long as it strictly relates to subjects of legislation expressly enumerated in s. 91, is of paramount authority, even though it trenches upon matters assigned to the provincial legislatures by s. 92 : see Tennant v. Union Bank of Canada,(1894) A. C. 31. There can be a domain in which provincial and Dominion legislation may overlap, in which case neither legislation will be ultra vires if the field is clear, but if the field is not clear and the two legislations meet the Dominion legislation must prevail; see Grand Trunk [Railway] of Canada v. Attorney-General of Canada,(1907) A. C. 65. 1, record 6, English, - paramountcy%20doctrine

Diverses façons de rendre les mots "paramountcy doctrine" peuvent être relevées. Ainsi les auteurs canadiens parlent du "principe de la prépondérance", de "suprématie d'autorité": de la règle "législation fédérale ultra-vires prime législation provinciale intra-vires", de "primauté". Dans d'autres domaines, on a à étudier également le rapport qui existe entre deux ordres juridiques qui se rencontrent. Ainsi, quand le droit international vient en conflit avec le droit interne, on parle alors de "primauté" d'un ordre sur l'autre, de "supériorité", de "priorité", de "suprématie", de "prépondérance", "d'autorité supérieure". On dit des mesures normatives des Communautés européennes qu'elles ont "prééminence" sur les dispositions normatives internes. Les mots "prévalence", "priorité", "primauté" sont également employés. En science politique, on explique la règle "droit fédéral brise droit d'État", en disant que les lois fédérales "priment" les lois des États-membres. Pour les régimes où la règle est à l'inverse, on dit qu'il y a "primauté" de la compétence étatique. Le terme "primauté" est universel et il implique toujours le premier rang. 1, record 6, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20de%20la%20primaut%C3%A9%20des%20lois%20f%C3%A9d%C3%A9rales
