Best Answer

Early in the year (spring), the Mi'kmaq lived on shallow-water fish, such as the flounder, which lives on mudflats in the low-tide zone and in the mouths of rivers where it can be speared, caught on hooked lines or trapped in weirs. Simple V-shaped lines of obstacles (wood, rocks, etc) were constructed across the streams, which forced the fish to pass through a narrow opening, where a basket or net was used to capture them.

For larger fish such as sturgeon and salmon, the Mi'kmaq used a spear. Some spears were elaborate three prong devises, while others were simple single point, barbed harpoons. Woven traps were used for both fish and crustaceans like lobster and crawfish on inland lakes. One of the favoured foods of the Mi'kmaq is eel. Ash splint eelpots were used to gather spawning eel.
