‘A Very Delicate World’: Fishers and Plant Workers Remake Their Lives on Newfoundland’s Bonavista Peninsula After the Cod Moratorium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In 1992, with the cod stocks exhausted in most of the northwest Atlantic, the federal government of Canada declared a moratorium on the fi shery. Up to 25,000 rural Newfoundlanders were suddenly without work in a region with minimal eco-nomic diversifi cation. For seven years, special state programs provided fi nancial and educational support. In this context, what did people do? How can we understand their actions? I show that the crushing blows of outside forces were followed not by a restructuring of experience in which people drew diversely from what was available in their environment and sustained local life in new forms. I rely on four detailed cases (two men and two women) supplemented by reference to a much larger body of survey and fi eldwork data collected in 1994-95. For each person, I review both their work in the fi shing industry and what happened after the moratorium prior to interpreting this material sociologically. Introduction1 In 1992, with the cod stocks exhausted in most of the northwest Atlantic, the federal government of Canada declared a moratorium on the fi shery. Up to 25,000 rural

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
