- W1008655226 abstract "Between 1870 and 1931 two cycles of expansion and retrenchment characterized the growth of salmon canning in British Columbia. Each period of expansion produced a distinctive geography, shaped by linkages between the species of salmon targeted, fishing methods used, and techniques employed ,inside the canneries. And each period of expansion ended in crisis, with over investment, over capacity, and excessive competition plaguing the industry. Each time, British Columbia Packers provided the solution by consolidating salmon canning companies and closing redundant plants. From 1870 through 1901 the industry's geography reflected a dependence on sockeye salmon. Large numbers of sockeye ran to the Fraser, Skeena, and Nass Rivers, and Rivers Inlet, where they were easily caught using small boats and gill-nets. Small, largely manual canneries were able to pack all the fish caught, and these canneries clustered in the estuaries of the sockeye rivers. When too many canneries and overproduction paralysed the industry following the 1901 season, the British Columbia Packers Association was formed. The association took over forty canneries, closing twenty-eight of them by 1906. From 1906 through 1927 expanding markets and declining sockeye runs forced canners to target the other species of salmon. These fish ran to the developed rivers, but also ran in numbers to rivers outside of the sockeye districts. A new fishing technique, purse-seining, enabled canners to harvest these new fishing grounds cheaply, while faster, more mechanized canning lines allowed them to pack large numbers of these fish quickly, and at less cost. During this period salmon canning dispersed to all areas of the coast. By 1927 excess investment and wasteful competition again plagued the industry. When poor runs that year threw the industry into turmoil B.C. Packers again provided the answer. The company merged with two other firms, controlled forty-one canneries, and closed twenty-five of them by 1931. Despite the large number of canneries involved, neither consolidation fundamentally altered the geography of salmon canning. Although B.C. Packers concentrated its production into L fewer canneries, it continued to operate plants in a11 canning districts. Technological limitations prevented any inter-district centralization of operations." @default.
