Une longue tradition

We are a part of the French history of deep-sea fishing.

Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, Spitzberg ou Iceland have been popular destinations since five century by the cod fisheries who fed our people several times threatened by famine.

If the coastal artisanal fishery is focused  on flatfish (sole, common dab, …), rock fish (red mullet, gurnard, …), cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, …), crustaceans (crab, norway lobster, lobster, …), deep sea fishing completes the diversity of contribution  and ensures the necessary volumes for the market with popular species as: cod, saithe, hake, haddock… Deep sea vessels could not exploit the artisanal fishery ressource along the coast and artisanal fishing vessels would not able to frequent high sea fishing areas.

The first one for a question of insufficient volumes to ensure the profitabilty  of vessels and the second for security reasons : the vessels would be too small and would not be strong enough to confront with bad weather, with insufficent storage capacity with respect to the remoteness of fishing areas.

Do not oppose these fisheries , they are not substituable, they are indissociable and complementary !
