The fishing industry played a key role in New Brunswick's economy for a long time. Fish processing plants were established in the coastal regions of the province and allowed for diversifying fishery-related activities. This photo, taken in 1959 in a fish processing plant in Gloucester County, shows women and one man working on a conveyor belt preparing fish before it is canned.
