Welcome to
The Fisheries Broadcast

Tune in every weekday afternoon across Newfoundland and Labrador for the Fisheries Broadcast.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary on March, 2001, The Fisheries Broadcast ranks among the oldest continuously running daily programs in North America.

Since going on the air in 1951, "The Broadcast," as it is affectionately known, has been dedicated to covering stories about the fishing industry, reflecting the people and the communities that depend on the sea for their livelihood.

"The Broadcast" also provides basic survival information to fish harvesters, such as marine weather forecasts, meeting announcements and the opening and closing times of the various fisheries.

For more than half a century The Fisheries Broadcast has been considered a trusted and essential communications service.

SEI WHALE


   Here are pictures of a Sei whale from David Boyd in Twillingate.
   David towed it from Fortune Harbour two years ago .
   He plans to display it at the Prime Berth Museum.
   Measures   15.85 metres








towing whale from Fortune harbour to Prime Berth , a distance of approx 25 nautical miles, October 2006.


the baleen of the Sei whale , because it feeds mainly on plankton, is very fine- much like wolf fur.
Humpback baleen, for example is much coaser, as humpbacks feed on larger fish and their strainer system doesn't need to be so fine.




Commissioner Dimas


                     For those who follow the seal ban issue closely, I thought you might like to hear the FULL news conference which EU Commissioner Stavros Dimas held in Belgium Wednesday morning. The audio is a bit hollow in places, but there's about twenty minutes of interesting listening.    John Furlong
