No More Fish, No Fishermen is a song composed by Canadian folklorist Shelley Posen, about the demise of the Newfoundland fishery.[1] [2] Although it was written in 1996, it is often assumed to be a traditional song.[3] The tune is based upon "Coal Not Dole" by Kay Sutcliffe, about the death of the coal industry in northern England. "Coal Not Dole" was made popular by Coope Boyes and Simpson on their Funny Old World album, and is in turn based on the Victorian Christmas carol, "See, Amid The Winter's Snow". It is set to the hymn tune Humility by John Goss, written in 1871.

Posen also recorded it on his CD The Old Songs Home, with a jangle pop musical arrangement reminiscent of The Byrds.
