The commercial cod fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador was once the most successful fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992 - causing the largest single-day layoff in Canadian history and irrevocable ecological damage - fishermen, scholars, and scientists pointed to failures in management such as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits.
