Comments[edit]

Is it just me, or does the native American section, with it's own bold headline, seem to have nothing to do with canning? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Badlandz (talk • contribs) 00:27, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this page intermingles the history of salmon fishing with the history of salmon canning, including information on Native American fishing and seine fishing. It's all important information. I lack the expertise to separate the two topics. I wonder if all of this should go back under the main topic of Salmon, or if salmon fishing should be a separate article. Also, salmon canning has continued in Alaska, which is not covered in this article or in the Alaska salmon fishery article, which by the way, probably should have a reference to the Pebble Mine controvery. All of this needs a subject matter expert. A.M. Winship (talk) 15:25, 21 March 2013 (UTC)A.M.Winship[reply]

It's true the article at present covers only the early history of salmon canneries. However, the article doesn't just "intermingle the history of salmon fishing". Much of the history of salmon fishing occurred in earlier times and on other continents. But the article does attempt to briefly set salmon canneries in their historical context. In the early days, before refrigeration, the salmon needed to be caught close to the canneries. That is why early canneries were located where they were. Those canneries had fisheries associated with them that were integral with the cannery itself. The history of the canneries was equally the history of those fisheries. In the article, I tried to briefly set out that context. The importance of the Native Americans was that the canneries took over their fisheries and learned from their fishing techniques. The fishermen the canneries employed were often Native Americans, and during that period the history of Native American salmon fishing and the canneries was indeed intertwined. --Epipelagic (talk) 22:35, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit section paragraph 2[edit]

Canning was used in the 1830s in Scotland to keep fish [fresh] preserved until it could be marketed. Deleted “fresh” and replaced with “preserved”.70.66.43.18 (talk) 06:54, 5 December 2019 (UTC)Karen[reply]

During the first years of the Napoleonic Wars, the French government offered a 12,000-franc prize to anyone who could devise a cheap and effective method of preserving large amounts of food. The larger armies of the period required increased and regular supplies of quality food.Napoleon's army could have eaten the canned fish as needed without having to soak it like the dried or salted fish.70.66.43.18 (talk) 07:21, 5 December 2019 (UTC)Karen[reply]
