Note sur la pêche à la sardine sans rogue

The lack of salted cod-roe and peanut oil meal caused by WWII and the fact that other baits have not been able to replace it, is on the verge of putting an end to sardine fishing on the French coasts when the last barrels imported from Norway will come to their end. This situation preoccupies the Secretary of State for Marine and Colonies who has just ordered a study in order to find out if the problem could not be solved by copying Spain and Portugal where sardine has been fished without salted cod-roe for a long time already. Given the interest of the question, we are going to provide all the information we have gathered on these fishing methods through our trips on the Portuguese coast and our frequent contacts with French and Spanish Basque fishermen when we collaborate with them and conduct studies on board the "chasers" of the French Naval Station of the Bidassoa or on the sardine boats from Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
