This paper starts with a brief historiographical overview, in which the models for interpreting the Basque fisheries in Canada are analysed critically and a tentative statement is made. The processes of cultural contact – both among the societies that inhabited western Canada and among the different European societies that occurred on this global and dynamic stage are also considered. Finally, the Basque venture in Canada is assessed in relation to the colonial process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently and increasingly, many concepts and areas of investigation relegated to the field of basic ecology are being integrated and applied to the management and conservation of renewable resources. The purpose of this paper is to explore how syntheses of ecology and anthropology might help wildlife scientists evaluate changes in the way modern humans in hunter-gatherer societies interact with renewable resources that they harvest.
