Fishery Statistics of the United States and Alaska are compiled and published an-
nually to make available information on both the economic and biological aspects of the
domestic commercial fisheries.

Data on the economic aspects are necessary to persons engaged in the commercial fish-
ery and to governmental agencies concerned with its regulation and protection. Those
here given cover the total catch and value by species, the yield and value of manufac-
tured products and byproducts, the employment of men, craft, and gear in the capture of
fishery products; and related information.

From the biological standpoint these data are important to sound fishery management
in providing detailed information on fluctuations in the commercial catch by species,
locality, and gear, and type of craft operated. They assist conservation agencies in
regulating the commercial fisheries so as to produce maximum yields without depletion.

Previous statistical reports on the fishery industries were issued under the Depart-
ment of the Interior in the Administrative Report series for 1938 and in the Statistical
Digest series for succeeding years. Reports for preceding years were issued in the
Administrative Report series of the former Bureau of Fisheries.

The following is a listing of the various Statistical Digests issued since 1939:

INTRODUCTION

This report contains a review of the fishery statistics for the year 1953 collected
by the Branch of Commercial Fisheries during 1954. These statistics include data on
the volume of the catch of fishery products and their value, employment in the fisher-
les, quantity of gear operated, the number of fishing craft employed in the capture of
fishery products, and certain information on the volume and value of the production of
manufactured fishery products and byproducts.

The statistical surveys conducted during 1954 for 1953 data, were under the general
direction of E. A. Power, Chief, Statistical Section, and C. E. Peterson. Surveys were
conducted in all sections of the United States except in the Mississippi River States
which were last canvassed in 1950. Statistics on the various fisheries were collected
under the supervision of the following field project leaders: Billy Greer, Dwight Hoy,
Charles Lyles, Charles Reardon, Russell Soulen, Victor Samson, Alfred Swanson, James
Wharton, and Raymond Wilson. The survey material was assembled and tabulated by the
staff of the Statistical Section under the direction of Raymond Wilson, while Bob
Finley supervised the preparation and publication of these data. Most of the illustra-
tions in this report were prepared by G. I. Sundstrom.

Catch data for the Great Lakes were assembled by the staff of Dr. James Moffett of
the Branch of Fishery Biology; and those for the fisheries of Alaska were collected by
the Branch of Alaska Fisheries of the Service. Information on landings at Massachu-
setts ports were collected in cooperation with the Market News Section and the Branch
of Fishery Biology. Data on the Hawaiian Fisheries were furnished by the Division
of Fish and Game, Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry of the Territory
of Hawail.

In assembling the data on the fisheries, all appropriate records collected by the
various State fishery agencies were used. In certain areas, information complete enough
to be used by the Statistical agents:was available from State agencies, and in these
States only partial surveys were conducted. Information on the means of collecting the
data and an explanation of terms used may be found in Section 14 of this publication.
Statistics on the imports and exports of fishery products were furnished by the Bureau
of the Census.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL REVIEW

The catch of fishery products in all sections of the United States and Alaska during
1953 totaled approximately 4, 467,960,000 pounds valued at $352,275,000 to the fish-
ermen. This represented an increase of nearly 50 million pounds or 1 percent in quanti-
ty but a decrease of almost $8 million or 2 percent in value compared with the landings
of the previous year. Had there not been a spectacular gain in the production of men-
haden during the year, the catch would have been far below that of 1952. Menhaden pro-
duction off the Atlantic and Gulf States during 1953 again broke all records with the
catch of this item soaring to nearly 1.7 billion pounds. This was a gain of over 312
million pounds above the production of the previous year and the largest catch of this
species in history. The 1953 menhaden catch was almost 200 million pounds above the
1936 record Pacific sardine production of 1.5 billion pounds which had previously been
the largest catch of a single species taken by United States fishermen. Shrimp was
again the most valuable single item taken by domestic fishermen. The catch of these
shellfish totaled a record 260 million pounds valued at nearly $77 million to the fish-
ermen, the highest annual value ever recorded in a United States fishery. Compared
with the previous year, the 1953 shrimp production increased over 33 million pounds or
15 percent in quantity and nearly $22 million or 39 percent in value. During the year,
nearly 25 New England scallop boats left the Northwest Atlantic banks to operate for
shrimp in the South Atlantic and Gulf areas.

Major fisheries recording noticeable production decreases during 1953 were ocean
perch, salmon, tuna, sea herring, Pacific sardines, mackerel, and oysters. The Atlantic
Coast catch of ocean perch during 1953 totaled 154 million pounds valued at nearly $6
million to the fishermen -- a decrease of 35 million pounds and $2.2 million compared
with the landings of the previous year. Price disputes in several of the more pro-
ductive New England ports contributed greatly to the marked decline in this fishery.
The noticeable drop in Alaska salmon production during 1953 was of great concern to
packers and conservationists alike. The catch of only 220 million pounds of these fish
in the territory was nearly 70 percent less than the record 1936 production. The one
bright spot in the otherwise dismal salmon picture was the 23 million pound rise in
salmon production in the Pacific Coast States during the year. This increase was caused
mainly by a larger catch of sockeye salmon taken on their way to spawning grounds in
the Fraser River and the large run of pink salmon which appear in Puget Sound waters
biennially in odd-numbered years. Tuna landings by California fishermen which amounted
to 301 million pounds, were 19 million pounds less than those for 1952, while the Ore-
gon and Washington albacore fishery was a near-failure amounting to less than 1] million
pounds. The Northwest Pacific albacore fishery yielded a peak catch of 34 million
pounds in 1944, and has since averaged 10 to 15 million pounds annually. Increased
imports of frozen tuna packed in domestic canneries assisted in producing a record pack
of these fish totaling nearly 9.6 million cases. Imports of fresh and frozen tuna
during 1953 amounted to over 95 million pounds and accounted for 31 percent of the
Pacific Coast catch of these fish. The catch of sea herring during 1953 amounted to
154 million pounds compared with 211 million pounds in 1952. A decline in the Maine
catch of these fish of over 44 million pounds was mainly responsible for the decreased
1953 receipts. Fishermen reported that the sardine schools were not of sufficient size
for efficient operations. In Alaska the catch of herring amounted to 35 million pounds
compared with 46 million pounds in 1952 and 82 million pounds in 1951. The 1953 Pacific
sardine fishery in California was even a more dismal failure than the 1952 season since
a total of only 9 million pounds were taken during the year compared with 14 million
pounds reported in this fishery during the previous year. The 1953 catch of these fish
was slightly more than 1 percent of the 1950 catch of 715 million pounds and in no way
comparable to the billion-plus catches of the 1930's and World War II years. The few
sardines caught during the year were taken in Southern California below Morro Bay.
There were no signs of these fish in the formerly important sardine-producing waters
off Monterey and San Francisco Bay. The Pacific Coast mackerel fishery also continued
its steady decline with the catch of this item amounting to less than 8 million pounds
compared with nearly 21 million pounds in 1952. However, the 86 million pound catch of
anchovies in California was the largest in history. An absence of Pacific sardines 1n
California waters brought about increased fishing effort in the anchovy fishery. An-
chovies were canned and used largely to supply export markets.

GENERAL REVIEW

The per capita consumption of fishery products in the United States during 1953
totaled 10.8 pounds, edible weight, 0.2 pounds less than in the previous year. During
the ten-year period 1939-1948, the per capita consumption of all fish and shellfish on
a round weight basis averaged 22 pounds annually. On an edible weight basis, that
portion used for human food varied between 7.9 and 11.1 pounds, and averaged 9.8 pounds
per person during that period. Per capita consumption of fishery products increased
markedly in 1950 and has remained between 11.2 and 10.8 pounds, edible weight, since
that time.

The following table contains recorded production for the areas in which surveys were

made for the years shown and estimates for other regions and indicates the trend of the
yield and value of the domestic catch during recent years.

Lewes, Delaware, was the nation’s leading fishing port poundagewise during 1953,
with receipts of approximately 363 million pounds consisting almost entirely of men-
haden. San Pedro, California, was in second place with 329 million pounds, mostly tuna,
followed by Port Monmouth, New Jersey, with 198 million pounds of fishery products
comprised mostly of menhaden. Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Cameron, Louisiana, with
landings totaling 186 million and 178 million pounds occupied fourth and fifth posi-
tions respectively. San Pedro was first in value of landings with the catch at this
port having yielded $33 million, while San Diego, California, ($20 million) was in
second place and Boston ($12 million) held third place.

It was estimated that the 1953 catch was marketed as follows: 1,537 million pounds
(round weight basis) as fresh and frozen products; 993 million pounds for canning;
1,853 million pounds for byproducts and bait; and 85 million pounds for the production
of cured products.

The pack of canned fishery products in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto
Rico in 1953 amounted to 792 million pounds valued at nearly $307 million to the pack-
ers. This was a decrease of 3 percent in volume but an increase of less than one per-
cent in value compared with 1952. Sharply reduced packs of salmon and Pacific Coast
sardines were largely responsible for the volume of the pack total falling below that
of several recent years; however, record packs of tuna and anchovies were canned during
the year. Canned fishery products were packed in 427 plants in 24 States and Alaska,
Hawaii, and Puerto Rico during 1953. The production of fishery byproducts in the United
States and Alaska during the year was valued at over $74 million -- 9 percent more than
the value for 1952. Byproducts were produced in 252 plants in 24 States and Alaska
in 1953.

GENERAL REVIEW

Another outstanding development in the fisheries of the United States during 1953
was the rapid expansion of the new fish stick industry. Production during the first
quarter of 1953 got off to a good start but dropped considerably during the second
quarter. In July however, there was a marked increase in production, with this upward
climb accelerating throughout the remainder of the year. Total production of fish
sticks in 1953 amounted to 7.5 million pounds and consumer acceptance of this new item
was so high that late in the year firms were having difficulty keeping up with their
orders. The sticks were manufactured from both imported and domestic fish with a ma-
jority of the production coming from imported cod.

During 1953, a total of 729 vessels were documented for the first time as fishing
vessels, compared with 675 vessels in 1952 and 780 vessels in 1951. This was 8 p2rcent
more than the number entering the fleet. during the previous year and approximately
double the number documented annually prior to 1944. In the five years ending with
1953, a total of 3,998 vessels received their first documents as fishing craft. In 1940
the entire fleet in the United States and Alaska totaled only 5,562 vessels. Despite
the noteworthy increase in the size of the fleet, the annual catch has not increased
proportionally compared with prewar production. This has been due largely to the low
yields of salmon in Alaska and Pacific sardines in California.

‘/ DATA ARE PARTLY ESTIMATED.

The 1953 production of frozen fish amounted to over 275 million pounds, a decrease
of nearly 38 million pounds compared with the previous year. Freezings of fillets from
salt-water species declined sharply, totaling only 75 million pounds compared with 106
million pounds the previous year. The record for freezings was established in 1951
when nearly 326 million pounds of fishery products frozen.

Surveys covering the catch of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic products for 1953
were conducted in all areas of the United States and Alaska with the exception of the
Mississippi River and its tributaries. Data on the operating units were collected in
each of the areas canvassed with the exception of the Lake States. Detailed summaries
of the catch and operating unit data for the Mississippi River and its tributaries for
1950 and the Lakes operating unit data for the same year may be found in Fishery Sta-
tistics of the United States, 1950 (Statistical Digest No. 27).

GENERAL REVIEW

MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS

The production of manufactured fishery products (canned, cured, packaged, and by-
products) produced in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico during 1953 was
valued at approximately $587 million. This was an increase during 1953 of nearly $12
million or 2 percent compared with the previous year. Canned products accounted for 52
percent of the total value; packaged shellfish, 20 percent; byproducts, 13 percent;
packaged fish, 9 percent; and cured fish, 6 percent.

The pack of canned fishery products in the areas listed above during 1953 amounted to
792 million pounds valued at $307 million to the packers. This represented a decrease
of 3 percent in volume but an increase of less than one-half of one percent in value
compared with 1952. The domestic pack of tuna and tunalike fishes, including the pro-
duction in Puerto Rico and Hawaii, amounted to 9.6 million cases (189 million pounds)
valued at $126 million to the packers. The 1953 pack of canned salmon amounted to 3.9
million cases (188 million pounds) valued at $82 million to the canners. This was the
smallest salmon production since 192] when economic factors limited the pack. The 1953
pack of Pacific sardines amounted to 64,000 cases (2.9 million pounds) valued at $653
thousand, approximately 1 percent of the record 1950 pack of 5 million cases. Canners
in Maine packed 2.8 million cases of sardines (56 million pounds) valued at $17 million.
Compared with the previous year, this was a decrease of 2] percent in both volume and
value. The anchovy pack amounted to 1 million cases (33 million pounds) valued at $7.7
million. This was an increase of 57 percent in volume and 62 percent in value compared
with the anchovy pack of the previous year.

The 1953 production of fishery byproducts was valued at $74 million -- 9 percent more
than the value of the previous year. Production of fish and marine-animal meal and
scrap amounted to nearly 239,000 tons valued at $29.6 million to the producers. The
yield of marine-animal oils amounted to 20.3 million gallons valued at $11.5 million to
the manufacturers. This was an increase during 1953 of approximately 25 percent over
1952. Some of the other important byproducts manufactured during the year were marine
pearl-shell, oyster-shell, and fresh-water shell products valued at $16.6 million, and
fish solubles and homogenized-condensed fish valued at $7 million.

GENERAL REVIEW

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS AND BYPRODUCTS

The pack of canned fishery products in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puer-
to Rico in 1953 amounted to 792 million pounds valued at nearly $307 million to the
packers. This was a decrease of 3 percent in volume but an increase of less than one-
half of one percent in value compared with 1952. Sharply reduced packs of salmon and
Pacific Coast sardines were largely responsible for the volume of the total pack fall-
ing below that of several recent years; however, record packs of tuna and anchovies
were canned during the year. Canned fishery products were packed in 427 plants in 24
States and Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico during 1953.

The pack of tuna and tunalike fishes exceeded that of any other item in both volume
and value in 1953. This production amounted to nearly 9.6 million cases valued at over
$126 million, making the 1953 tuna pack nearly 460,000 cases and $13 million greater
than the 1952 production. The value of the tuna pack was nearly 54 percent greater
than that of the second place salmon. Tuna was canned in Puerto Rico for the first
time during the year and this production is included in the tables appearing in this
section. z

The 1953 pack of canned salmon amounted to 3.9 million standard cases (188 million
pounds) valued at $82 million to the canners. Compared with 1952 this was a decrease
of 12 percent in volume and 16 percent in value. The 1953 salmon pack was the smallest
since 1921 when economic conditions restricted production. It was also less than 44
percent as large as the record pack of 1936 when approximately 10 million cases were
packed. The reduced pack was due largely to small runs of salmon in Alaska. Supplies
of these fish in the Puget Sound district of Washington were above the average for the
Past twenty years.

The 1953 pack of Pacific sardines (pilchards) amounted to less than 64,000 standard
cases valued at slightly more than $653,000. The volume of the pack during 1953 was
barely over one percent of the record production of over 5 million cases canned in
1950. The small pack was due to the almost complete absence of sardines off California.

The pack of Maine sardines amounted to approximately 2.8 million standard cases (56
million pounds) valued at nearly $17 million to the packers. Compared with the previous
year, this was a decrease of 21 percent both in volume and value. The canning of Maine
sardines was severely restricted by the inability of the fishermen to locate supplies
of herring. The catch of these fish was only about two-thirds as large as in the pre-
vious year. There was a sharp increase in the pack of large fish in 15-ounce cans in
1953 with nearly twice as many forty-five pound cases of these fish being packed com-
pared with 1952.

The canning of anchovies in California increased sharply in 1953 and the pack total-
ed over 1 million standard cases (33 million pounds) valued at nearly $7.7 million to
the packers. This was an increase of 57 percent in quantity compared with the previous
year. Most of the anchovies were packed for export.

The 1953 production of fishery byproducts in the United States and Alaska was valued
at over $74 million -- 9 percent more than the production of the previous year. The
1953 production of fish and marine-animal scrap amounted to nearly 239, 000 tons valued
at $29.6 million to the producers. This was an increase of over 17,000 tons in volume
and $2.4 million in value compared with the previous year. The production of marine-
animal oils in the United States and Alaska during the year amounted to approximately
20 million gallons valued at $11.5 million to the producers. This was an increase of
26 percent in volume and 22 percent in value compared with 1952. Some of the other
important byproducts produced during the year were marine pearl-shell, oyster-shell,
and fresh-water shell products, valued at nearly $16.6 million, and fish solubles and
homogenized condensed fish valued at over $7 million. Byproducts were produced in 252
plants in 24 States and Alaska during 1953.

Data contained in the following tables have been previously published in Current
Fishery Statistics No. 1004.

GENERAL REVIEW

PACKAGED FISH

The production of fresh and frozen packaged fish (fillets, steaks, and split ‘‘but-
terfly’’) in continental United States during 1953 totaled over 160 million pounds
valued at nearly $46 million to the processors. This represented a decrease of 30.5
million pounds or 16 percent in quantity and $9.2 million or 17 percent in value com-
pared with the production of the previous year.

Ocean perch fillets, with a production of nearly 48 million pounds was the largest
single item of packaged fish produced. Haddock fillets with over 44 million pounds and
flounder fillets with approximately 2] million pounds were second and third in volume
respectively. However, haddock was the most valuable species packaged during 1953 hav-
ing a value of over $13 million followed by ocean perch (nearly $11 million) and
flounders (over $8 million). Of the total packaged fish reported, 94 percent was
filleted, 5 percent steaked, and the remaining | percent, split ‘‘butterflied.’’

Because of the importance of the groundfish fishery in New England, that area con-
tinued to lead all others in the production of packaged fish and accounted for 76 per-
cent (121 million pounds) of the 1953 domestic production. The Pacific Coast States
accounted for 15 percent; the Middle Atlantic States, 5 percent; the Great Lake States,
4 percent, while the Chesapeake, South Atlantic, and Gulf States contributed less than
1 percent of the total.

It was estimated that approximately 472 million pounds of round fish were required
to manufacture the 160 million pounds of packaged fish produced in 1953.

Data in this section cannot be correlated directly with that information published
in the section on Manufactured Fishery Products, as that section includes a small pro-
duction in Alaska which is not included in the following tables. Data on the produc-
tion of packaged fish during 1953 were previously published in Current Fishery Statis-
tics No. 985.

GENERAL REVIEW

FROZEN FISH TRADE

A total of 275 million pounds of fishery products was frozen during 1953 by over 250
domestic freezing plants which reported their activities to the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice. This was nearly 38 million pounds below the quantity frozen the previous year and
50 million pounds less than the record 195] freezings. It was estimated that a catch
of approximately 523 million pounds of fish and shellfish was required to produce the
275 million pounds of round, dressed, and drawn fish, fish fillets, and packaged shell-
fish frozen during 1953. Of the total, 203 million pounds consisted of fish and 72 ml-
lion pounds were shellfish. Average monthly holdings of frozen fishery products amount-
ed to over 155 million pounds, a decrease of over 3 million pounds compared with the
previous year.

During 1953, the production of salt-water fish comprised 7] percent of the total
freezings, while shellfish contributed 26 percent and fresh-water fish the remaining 3
percent. Freezings of fillets from salt-water species declined sharply, totaling only
75 million pounds compared with 106 million pounds frozen during the previous year.
Five items accounted for 65 percent of the total poundage frozen during 1953. These
were: shrimp (including shrimp meat), 21 percent; ocean perch, 14 percent; headed and
gutted whiting, 12 percent; halibut, 10 percent; and bait and animal food, 8 percent.

According to geographical sections, the New England States led all others in the
quantity of fishery products frozen, accounting for 48 percent of the total. The South
Central area ranked second with 18 percent, followed by the Pacific Coast States with
12 percent and Alaska with 10 percent.

Data on the holdings and freezings of fishery products for 1953 have been previously

published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 956. Detailed information are published
monthly in the Frozen Fish bulletin of the Current Fishery Statistics series.

on January 1, 1953. The average holdings of fishing stock were 155.5 million pounds,
slightly lower than the 159 million pound record average of the previous year. Ten
years earlier in 1943, these holdings averaged only 70 million pounds. The low point
for holdings during 1953 was reached on May 1, when 109.2 million pounds were in stor-
age. According to the geographical distribution of average monthly holdings, the New
England States ranked first, followed by the Middle Atlantic and Pacific Coast States.

COLD-STORAGE HOLDINGS OF CURED FISH

During 1953, monthly cold-storage holdings of cured herring averaged 12.7 million
pounds while those for mild-cured salmon averaged 4.6 million pounds. Compared with
1952, this represented a decrease of less than 1 percent in the average monthly hold-
ings of cured herring, but an increase of nearly 2 percent in average mild cured sal-
mon stocks. Cold storage stocks of cured herring were largest on August 1, when they
reached nearly 16.9 million pounds. The peak period for mild-cured salmon during 1953
was on October 1, when these stocks reached over 7.1 million pounds.

GENERAL REVIEW

FOREIGN FISHERY TRADE

During 1953, the value of United States foreign trade in fishery products amounted
to nearly £273 million of which nearly $245 million represented the value of products
imported for consumption and $28 million the value of exports of domestic fishery prod-
ucts. The value of imports for consumption was 2 percent greater than in the previous
year, while the value of exports of domestic fishery products increased 27 percent.
The value of fishery imports entered for consumption established a new record during
1953; the former high year was in 1952 when the value of imports totaled over $240 mil-
lion.

Imports amounted to 726 million pounds of edible fishery products valued at nearly
$196 million; and nonedible products valued at nearly $50 million. Among the more
important items received in much greater volume than in 1952 were fresh or frozen
smelt, tuna, spiny lobster, and shrimp; canned salmon, sardines, and tuna in brine.

Exports of nonedible fishery products in 1953 were valued at nearly $11 million --
an increase of 68 percent compared with the previous year and establishing a new re-
cord. The increase was due largely to greater shipments of fish oils to foreign coun-

tries.

SECTION 2 - NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES

(Area XX//)

The 1953 catch of fish and shellfish in the coastal areas of the New England States
(Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) totaled 864 mil-
lion pounds valued at $60 million to the fishermen. This represented a decrease of over
90 million pounds or 9 percent in quantity and $7 million or 11] percent in value com-
pared with the landings of the previous year. Ocean perch receipts (154 million pounds)
were 35 million pounds less than in 1952 and 104 million pounds less than the 1951 pro-
duction, while sea herring production dropped nearly 43 million pounds during 1953
compared with the previous year. A total of 26,392 fishermen operated in the New Eng-
land area during 1953 compared with 23,497 in 1952 and 23,639 in 1951. Fishing craft
of all types operating in New England waters during 1953 numbered 1,072 vessels of 5
net tons and over, 10,491 motor boats, 2,938 other boats, and 161 accessory boats.

During 1953, the New England fishing industry struggled to overcome a number of se-
rious production and marketing difficulties which were largely responsible for the
precipitous drop in production in this potentially rich fishing area. Several problems
plagued the New England States during the year, among these, labor tieups, declining
catches, migration of the fleet, and a scarcity of fish were probably most important.
Boston had the lowest catch in many years and the Gloucester production was the lowest
since 1947 when only 163 million pounds were landed. At Boston, fishermen complained
mostly of a scarcity of fish while at Gloucester, two disastrous labor disputes con-
tributed greatly to the reduced production. The noticeable drop in production at New
Bedford was partially caused by a conversion from dragging to scalloping by a portion
of the fleet. The New Bedford fleet was more seriously affected, however, by the mi-
gration of many local vessels to the shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Mexico. The price
of scallop meats at New Bedford dropped from an average of approximately 60¢ per pound
in 1952 to 44¢ per pound in 1953. This price decline made scalloping unprofitable and
caused many of the boats to desert the New England fisheries. However, the movement to
Maine of several Massachusetts boats was the main reason the ocean perch production in
Maine held up to the level of the previous year. (urtailed operations as a result of a
tieup in several of the more productive ports resulted in a great loss of production
during the year. The disagreements began when a dispute started in Maine on April 2 and
ended on April 18. The second tieup in Maine between August 4 and September 8 caused
the Gloucester fleet to also cease operations in sympathy with the Maine fleet. The
Gloucester fleet had also been inactive for a month in the spring when operations are
normally at their peak.

Imports of fillets continued to cause the industry some distress and during October
the New England fishing industry made a desperate plea before the Tariff Commission in
Washington, D. C., for relief from imports. Early in the year, a new product called
fish sticks was placed on the market and overwhelmingly accepted by the public. Five
firms in Gloucester, two in Boston, and one in New Bedford began producing this item,
using raw material from both domestic and foreign sources. The sticks were sawed from
blocks of frozen fillets, dipped in a breading solution, cooked, and packed in consumer
or larger-size packages and frozen. As the year ended, this single product proved to
be a partial remedy for the hard-hit New England fishing industry.

During 1953, many trawlers of the New England fleet installed various electronic
devices, particularly fish and depth finders, in an effort to increase production and
assist in meeting market schedules. These devices enabled the operators to locate
available schools of fish with a minimum loss of fishing effort. To stimulate consumer
demand, several companies accelerated advertising programs and increased efforts toward
improving quality control of their products.

The third successive season of exploratory fishing for Gul f-of-Maine bluefin tuna
was conducted from July 15 to October 15 by the Branch of Commercial Fisheries of the
Fish and Wildlife Service. As in the previous year’s work, long-line gear was used as
the principal fishing method, with surface trolling lines, floating gill nets, and
trammel nets as secondary gear. The long-line catch of tuna was much smaller than in
the preceding years -- only 38 tuna weighing 2,000 pounds (round weight) compared with
12,000 pounds in 1952, and 190,000 pounds caught by purse seines in the 195] explora-
tion. The small catch was attributed mainly to the fact that operations did not begin
until July 15 resulting in completely missing a large early run of tuna which was be-
lieved to have moved along the coast. Also, the catch of sharks was much greater dur-
ing 1953, being 13 times the catch of tuna. Gill-net and trammel-net fishing produced
no tuna, but 9 tuna were caught on surface trolling lines. Though catches were small,
as in previous years bluefin tuna were taken over a wide area in the Gulf of Maine and

adjacent waters.

Regulations affecting the taking of haddock in the Northwest Atlantic were published
by the Fish and Wildlife Service in the April 24, 1953, Federal Register. Taking of
haddock by trawl nets or nets having a diagonally-stretched mesh less than 4% inches
when wet was prohibited in the Northwest Atlantic north of latitude 39°00’ N. and west
of longitude 42000’ W. by these regulations. Originally the regulations were scheduled
to take effect March 15, 1953. However, since a sufficient number of larger-mesh nets
were not available to supply all vessels requiring them, the effective data was post-
poned until June 1, 1953.

The Service appreciates the assistance of the following agencies in the collection
of the data appearing in this section: The Maine Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries;
the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department; the Massachusetts Department of Conser-
vation, Division of Marine Fisheries; the Rhode Island Department of Agriculture and
Conservation, Division of Fish and Game; and the Connecticut State Board of Fisheries
and Game, and Shellfish Commission.

The following tables contain summarized and detailed information of the 1953 opera-
ting units and catch of the fisheries in the New England States. Condensed summary
data on the operating units and catch by States of the New England States, appearing on
the following pages, have been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics No.
1174. Historical data on the fisheries of the New England States may be found in Fish-
ery Statistics of the United States, 1950, (Statistical Digest, No. 27).

LANDINGS AT MAINE PORTS

Landings of fishery products at Maine ports in 1953 totaled approximately 242 mil-
lion pounds valued at almost $16.8 million to the fishermen. This represented a de-
crease of 18 percent in quantity and 6 percent in value compared with the landings of
the previous year. Receipts of sea herring (100 million pounds) were 44 million pounds
less than in the previous year; herring, used principally in the canning of Maine sar-
dines, accounted for 42 percent of the total poundage. In addition, whiting landings
(12.6 million pounds) decreased markedly during the year with receipts of this item
falling nearly 1] million pounds or 45 percent below those for 1952. Receipts of ocean
perch totaled 60.6 million pounds and were almost identical with those for the previous
year. Although lobsters (22 million pounds) accounted for only 9 percent of the total
catch, this item represented ‘50 percent of the total value, making it by far the most
valuable item taken by Maine fishermen.

Landings at Portland, Maine, during 1953 totaled over 54 million pounds valued at
$2.4 million to the fishermen compared with over 57 million pounds valued at approxima-
tely $2.6 million landed during 1952. Imports of fresh sea herring, used for canning,
into the Maine and New Hampshire Customs District during this same period totaled 23
million pounds, nearly 7 million pounds less than in 1952. A scarcity of herring in the
waters adjacent to the major producing areas was noted during the entire summer of

1953.

The quantities shown in the following tables represent the actual weights of the
landings which have not been converted to round weight, therefore, the data are not
directly comparable to the catch figures shown in the General Review, regional tables,
or the Review of Certain Major Fisheries.

In cooperation with the Maine Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries, the Fish and
Wildlife Service collects, compiles, and publishes monthly and annual data on the land-
ings of fish and shellfish in Maine. This information is currently published in detail
in Maine Landings which is in the Current Fishery Statistics series of reports issued
by the Service. In addition to the individual monthly reports, two annual summaries
were published in 1953, one listing the catch by months (Current Fishery Statistics No.
969) and the other listing the catch by gear and by county (Current Fishery Statistics
No. 967).

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES

LANDINGS AT CERTAIN MASSACHUSETTS PORTS

Because of the important role they play in the production of fishery products, de-
tailed daily statistics are collected and published monthly for the landings at Boston,
Gloucester, New Bedford, Provincetown, Massachusetts, and other Cape Cod ports. Land-
ings of fishing craft of all sizes at the ports named are included in the data in the
following tables.

The quantities shown in the following tables represent the actual weights of the
landings which have not been converted to round weight, therefore, the data are not
directly comparable to the catch figures shown in the General Review, regional tables,
or the Review of Certain Major Fisheries.

During 1953, landings of fishery products at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, and on
Cape Cod amounted to 449 million pounds valued at nearly $33.4 million to the fish-
ermen. This represented a decrease of 55 million pounds or 11] percent in volume and
$6.6 million or 17 percent in value compared with the landings of the previous year.
Ocean perch landings amounted to 93 million pounds during 1953 -- 35 million pounds
less than were landed in 1952. Massachusetts receipts of this species during 1952
amounted to over 128 million younds compared with 184 million pounds produced in 1951.
The catch of scrod haddock (59 million pounds) also dropped noticeably during the year
with the receipts of this item approximately 18 million pounds below the 1952 produc-
tion. Landings of large haddock (58 million pounds) decreased less than a million
pounds in the same period. The total value of scallop meats ($7.9 million), the most
valuable single item, was less than in 1952 even though the volume of landings rose
sharply to 18 million pounds, an increase of 4.4 million pounds compared with 1952.
The average price-per-pound paid for scallop meats in 1953 was 44¢ compared with 59¢ in
1952. Four items accounted for 66 percent of the total 1953 poundage landed at Mass-
achusetts ports: haddock, 26 percent; ocean perch, 2] percent; fish for reduction and
animal food, 11 percent; and flounders, 8 percent.

Receipts at Gloucester accounted for 4] percent of the total poundage landed during
the year and 2] percent of the total value; Boston was second in poundage with 34 per-
cent of the total, but first, 36 percent, in value; New Bedford ranked third in pound-
age with 17 percent, but second, 35 percent, in value. Cape Cod was in fourth place in
both poundage and value with 8 percent in both categories.

The fishing fleet operating on the fishing banks of the North Atlantic and landing
fares at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, and Cape Cod ports during 1953, numbered 864
craft of all sizes. The landings listed in the following tables, however, do not rep-
resent the entire catch of these vessels, as some of them also landed fares at other
New England ports, at New York City, and at more southerly ports in connection with the
shrimp, the southern mackerel, and the southern trawl fisheries.

Of the total landings, 32 percent was caught by large otter trawlers (over 150 gross
tons); 29 percent by medium otter trawlers (51 to 150 gross tons); 23 percent by small
otter trawlers (50 gross tons or under); 7 percent by purse seines; 4 percent by scal-
lop dredges; and the remaining 5 percent by other types of gear.

The following tables contain a detailed summary of information on the landings of
fish and shellfish by fishing craft of all sizes in Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford,
and Cape Cod ports. Information on the annual landings by ports was previously publish-
ed in Current Fishery Statistics No. 968, while data on the landings by gear and area
appeared in Current Fishery Statistics No. 970. Detailed monthly information on the
landings by port and by gear and area of capture was also published in the Current
Fishery Statistics series.

SECTION 3 - MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES

(Area XX/I/1)

The 1953 catch of fish and shellfish in the coastal areas of the Middle Atlantic
States (New York, New Jersey, and Delaware) totaled nearly 964 million pounds valued at
over $30 million to the fishermen. This represented an increase of nearly 371 million
pounds or 62 percent in volume and $1.2 million or 4 percent in value compared with the
landings of the previous year. A total of 12,589 fishermen operated in the Middle At-
lantic area during 1953 compared with 12,485 during the previous year. There were 688
fishing vessels of 5 net tons and over operating in this area during 1953 compared with

653 in 1952.

The great increase in the Middle Atlantic catch during 1953 was due largely to un-
usually heavy landings of menhaden in this area. The 858 million pound catch of this
species was 350 million pounds larger than the former record high year of 1947. Except-
ionally large and compact schools of menhaden during the summer months, coupled with
ideal fishing conditions, contributed greatly to the most successful menhaden season in
the history of this area. Of the total menhaden landings, New Jersey accounted for 46
percent; Delaware, 42 percent; and New York, 12 percent. The 361 million pounds of
menhaden landed at Lewes, Delaware, made this port the number one fishing port in the
country on a poundage basis The 1953 menhaden catch was processed in 1 plant in New
York; 3 in New Jersey; and 2 in Delaware. Practically the entire catch of this species
was manufactured into oil and meal with a small portion being frozen for bait. Of the
total Middle Atlantic catch, menhaden accounted for 89 percent of the total poundage
and 30 percent of the total value. These fish ranked first in both poundage and value
in this area during the year. Oysters, which usually occupy first position in the value
category, dropped to second place during 1953. Total shellfish landings in the Middle
Atlantic area while comprising only 4 percent of the total volume of the 1953 catch,
accounted for 51 percent of the total value.

For many years, the shellfisheries of the Middle Atlantic area have ranked as the
most valuable fishery operations in this region. During 1953, the total production of
both hard clams and oysters dropped noticeably. Due to a good market for available
production, the value of hard clam meats rose considerably during the year while oyster
meats held firm. The stabilization of the surf clam fishery in the Middle Atlantic
area has done much to keep the total shellfisheries production high during the past few
years. From a production of less than one million pounds in 1943, this fishery, in a
period of ten years, rose to occupy a position of major importance in the economy of
certain localities. During 1953, over 10 million pounds of surf clam meats were pro-
duced and canned in plants in each of the three states. In southern New Jersey, where
a major portion of,the catch is harvested, it was reported that the clam grounds were
holding up well under continued heavy dredging pressure. However, during the year, the
fleet tended to move northward as well as into deeper waters. The movement into deeper
waters necessitated equipping the hydraulic dredges with water pumps of greater capaci-
ties and larger hoses. _ A price disagreement and a measurement dispute curtailed dred-
ging operations for a three-week period in New Jersey during the year.

The Middle Atlantic pound net fishery, which has suffered noticeably since World War
II, made a minor gain poundagewise during 1953, with production in New Jersey amounting
to over 52 million pounds, 77 percent above 1952. The catch of valuable foodfish con-
tinued to drop however, and the total value of this fishery slipped to 18 percent below
the value of the pound-net fishery catch in the previous year. The Raritan Bay menhaden
fishery operated quite successfully during the summer while the ocean pounds suffered
from rising operating costs, lack of foodfish, and a disastrous November hurricane that
practically wiped out the remaining pound nets.

The fish pot fishery in the Middle Atlantic area continved successful operations
during 1953. Although there were nearly 12,000 or 36 percent fewer pots fishing in
1953 compared with the previous year, the total catch by this gear decreased only 13
percent.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the fisheries
of the Middle Atlantic area appearing on the following pages have been previously pub-
lished in Current Fishery Statistics No. 1161. Historical data on the fisheries of the
Middle Atlantic States may be found in Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1950,

HUDSON RIVER SHAD FISHERY

During 1953, the shad fishery in the Hudson River gave employment to 363 fishermen
who marketed 938,722 pounds of shad with a value of $155,488 to the fishermen. This was
a decrease of over 138,000 pounds or 13 percent in quantity but an increase of nearly
$6,800 or 6 percent in value compared with the landings of the previous year. The aver-
age price per pound received by fishermen in 1953 was 16.6 cents compared with 13.6
cents in 1952 and 19.4 cents in 1951.

In 1953, the shad taken averaged 3.60 pounds per fish -- considerably larger than the
average of 3.29 pounds in the previous year.

Statistics of the operating units and catch of shad in the Hudson River for 1953 by

New York and New Jersey fishermen are also included in the operating unit and catch data
for the two States.

SECTION 4 - CHESAPEAKE FISHERIES

(Area XXI11)

The 1953 catch of fish and shellfish in the Chesapeake States (Maryland and Virginia)
totaled nearly 343 million pounds valued at over $26 million to the fishermen. This
represented an increase of approximately 59 million pounds or 2] percent in volume but
a decrease of $164 thousand or less than 1 percent in value compared with the landings
of the previous year. The number of fishermen operating in the Chesapeake area rose
from 16,727 in 1952 to 17,107 in 1953, while the number of fishing vessels of 5 net tons
and over increased from 496 to 556.

Oysters continued to be the most valuable single item taken from Chesapeake Bay dur-
ing 1953 with fishermen receiving nearly $15 million for their 37 million pounds of oys-
ter meats. This was an increase in production of over 2.5 million pounds compared with
the previous year. Although there was a slight drop in the price of meats during the
year, values remained high for both shell and shucked oysters. Sizable armed forces’
orders were partially responsible for the strong market of this item. Virginia’s seed
oyster fishery remained closed to exports to other States in order to supply home needs,
and supplies proved adequate. Certain productive seed beds offered highly profitable
employment to many hundreds of tongers from all over the State who might otherwise have
suffered from a deterioration of supplies on local tonging grounds. Maryland was forced
to rely on local production of seed oysters after being cut off from supplies in Vir-
ginia. To compensate for this loss, increased shell planting was undertaken in areas
where, after investigation, 1t was judged spatfall would be most favorable. During the
year, both States increased their quota of shells required to be held by shucking houses
for distribution by conservation authorities for propagation. The Maryland quota was
increased to 50 percent while Virginia’s was raised to 20 percent. This action reduced
supplies of shell available to manufacturers of oyster-shell grit and lime. One large
producer of these products discontinued his purchases of Chesapeake shells and turned
to the Gulf area for raw materials. In Virginia, leasing of grounds for private oyster
growing continued steadily, however, it was at a slower rate than during the previous
year. Maryland, after reaching the low point in its sail-dredged oyster beds during
the period 1950-1952, showed a gain in this department.

During the year there was a perceptible decline in the pound net and haul seine fish-
eries, especially in Virginia; however, the gill net fishery in both States continued
at a normal pace. The ocean trawl fishery maintained itself, but recorded no spectacu-
lar losses or gains. In some cases negligible trawling failures were sustained by the
boats when they shifted their operations to profitable mackerel gill netting, and, in a
limited area off Ocean City, Maryland, to surf clam dredging. Several new gears which
were tested and accepted by Chesapeake fishermen during recent years, proved their pro-
ductive worth in 1953. The soft clam dredge which was introduced on Maryland’s Eastern
Shore in 1950, continued to operate on available beds in Talbot and Queen Anne’s coun-
ties. During the year, the menhaden industry prolonged its inquiries into labor-saving
gear, and searched for ways to lower the cost of taking fish.

Several new products made their way to the markets from the Chesapeake area during
1953, as a gradual expansion into specialty lines was evidenced. New canned and frozen
lines included quality soups, ready-to-cook crab cakes and seafood dinners, breaded oys-
ters or shrimp, and pan-ready fish. Sales of packaged frozen fish, as well as salted
fish, were increased by the self-service super-market’s increasing practice of pre-

packaging.
Long range investigations of the various fisheries were continued in both States dur-

ing the year. To reinforce the findings of the scientists, public relations activities
on television and in newspapers grew and won wide popular acceptance.

POTOMAC RIVER SHAD AND ALEWIFE FISHERY

The catch of shad in the Potomac River during 1953 amounted to 275 thousand fish
weighing 846 thousand pounds, and valued at $139 thousand to the fishermen. The take of
alewives in the Potomac for the same year was 23 million fish weighing over 11 million
pounds, valued at $178 thousand.

Compared with 1952, the poundage of shad decreased 27 percent while the value dropped
20 percent. Alewives registered a decrease of 4 percent in poundage and less than 1
percent in value compared with the landings of the previous year. A total of 581 fish-
ermen were employed in this fishery, 97 more than the number fishing during the previous
year.

Statistics on the yield and operating units of shad and alewives in the Potomac River
are also included in the catch and operating unit data for Maryland and Virginia.

SECTION 5 - SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES

(Area XXIV)

This section contains information on the fisheries of the South Atlantic States
(North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and the Fast Coast of Florida) for 1953. Data
are also shown in this section for the West Coast of Florida and the entire State of
Florida, although these data are not included in the total catch and operating unit data
for the South Atlantic Section.

The 1953 catch of fish and shellfish in the coastal areas of the South Atlantic
States amounted to nearly 327 million pounds valued at $20 million to the fishermen.
Compared with the landings of the previous year, this represented a decrease of approxi-
mately 110 million pounds or 25 percent in quantity but an increase of $540 thousand or
3 percent in value. A total of 14,319 fishermen operated in the South Atlantic area
during 1953 compared with 14,241 during 1952 and 13,503 in 1951. There were 1,051 fish-
ing vessels of 5 net tons and over operating in this area during 1953 compared with

1,054 in 1952 and 1,123 in 1951.

The menhaden fishery in the South Atlantic area in 1953 yielded a catch of 199 ml-
lion pounds and comprised 61 percent of the total landings. However, the 1953 take of
menhaden in this region was 115 pounds less during 1953 than it was in 1952. Of the
total, North Carolina produced 66 percent; the East Coast of Florida, 33 percent; and
South Carolina, 1 percent. Georgia produced no menhaden during the year.

Shrimp production recorded a marked increase during the year with the production of
this item climbing from less than 26 million pounds in 1952 to nearly 33 million pounds
in 1953. This represented an increase of 28 percent during 1953.

The Service gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following organizations in
the collection of the data appearing in this section: The Division of Commercial Fish-
eries, North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development; the Division of Com-
mercial Fisheries, South Carolina Wildlife Resources Department; the Coastal Fisheries
Division, Georgia Game and Fish Commission; and the Florida State Board of Conservation
and the Marine Laboratory, University of Miami.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the fisheries
of the South Atlantic area appearing on the. following pages have been previously pub-

SPONGE FISHING IN FLORIDA

SECTION 6 - GULF FISHERIES

(Area XXV)

The 1953 catch of fish and shellfish in the Gulf States (West Coast of Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas) totaled over 759 million pounds valued at
$85 million to the fishermen. Compared with the previous year, this was a decrease of
only 85,000 pounds or less than 1 percent in quantity but an increase of nearly $17 mil-
lion or 25 percent in value. There were 21,359 fishermen operating in the Gulf during
1953, compared with 21,958 in 1952. Menhaden (437 million pounds) accounted for 58
percent of the total 1953 landings while shrimp receipts (225 million pounds) comprised
30 percent of the total poundage but 78 percent of the total value.

The shrimp fishery in the Gulf continued to flourish during the year with records
established in both quantity and value. The price of shrimp in 1953 reached the highest
level ever recorded although fluctuating greatly throughout the year. Extension of the
shrimp fishing grounds of the Gulf Coast continued and despite moderate to heavy damages
to, and loss of, gear on an irregular bottom, several trawlers operated in unexplored
areas. Fishing vessel construction in the Gulf was confined mainly to shrimp trawlers
and continued at an accelerated rate during the year. With relatively few exceptions,
the average size of the new. trawlers for offshore operations was slightly larger than
those constructed the previous year. In Louisiana, construction of open boats or skiffs

_used principally for shrimp fishing in shallow waters, increased significantly. Shallow-

draft open craft of this type replaced the older, slower, and less-maneuverable shallow-
draft trawlers used for shrimp fishing in the inshore Louisiana waters. Factors ad-
versely affecting fishing operations in the Gulf during 1953 were confined mostly to the
weather. Warnings, indicating strong winds, issued by the United States Weather Bureau,
were displayed over a major portion of the Gulf Coast on 34 occasions during the year,
covering a period of approximately 52 days. In 1952, warnings were displayed on 26 oc-
casions for a total of 37 days. Shrimp fishing was curtailed to a limited extent by the
seizure of a number of United States trawlers by Mexican officials for reportedly oper-
ating in Mexican territorial waters. No general fishing vessel tie-ups over price dis-
agreements occurred during 1953.

Improved harbor facilities were completed in several Gulf localities during 1953 and
channel-deepening projects were considered in other areas. Shore-establishment con-
struction was carried out at a lively pace during the year.

By the end of 1953, all shrimp-canning plants in Louisiana and several in Mississippi
and Alabama were using one or more automatic shrimp-peeling machines. Hand-fed devein-
ing machines were in use at several establishments, but an appreciable quantity of de-
veined shrimp was produced manually. An automatic deveining machine was under con-
struction in the Gulf, and it was believed that this machine would be available in the
near future. The perfection of an automatic shrimp deheading machine for use on vessels
did not materialize during the year.

Although there was a strong demand for shrimp during the first half of the year,
improvements in processing and marketing procedures were not neglected. Quality improve-
ment, size standards, and the packaging of fresh, frozen, and processed shrimp continued
to receive consideration by the industry.

Explorations by the Fish and Wildlife Service’s exploratory fishing vessel Qregon
during 1953 for brown-grooved shrimp were sufficiently comprehensive to define all of
the major areas of possible production on the continental shelf of the Gulf Coast of the
United States. It was found that the only presently unworked area of importance in this
fishery was the 35-to 50-fathom depth range on the coast of Louisiana and Texas between
the 9lst and 95th meridians. Explorations for pink-grooved shrimp produced good catches
on, or near, the major pink shrimp fishing grounds off Tortugas, Florida, and Campeche,
Mexico, but in no other areas. The Eastern Campeche Bank and the Florida West Coast
offered possibilities for good production of pink-grooved shrimp, however the bad trawl -
ing bottom areas would require new gears or methods. Red shrimp was found in 150 to 375
fathoms between Tampa, Florida, and Aransas Pass, Texas. Catches showed production pot
sibilities if improvements in the methods of handling shrimp trawls in deep water could
be worked out. No evidence of stocks of white shrimp other than those already known to

the shrimp fishery were found by the Oregon during 1953.

Data covering sales of sponges at the Tarpon Springs Sponge Exchange which were pub-
lished in this section prior to 195] have been omitted because of a decline in the im-
portance of this fishery. Information on the catch and value of the sponge fishery in
the Gulf for 1953 are listed in the catch tables of this section.

The Service acknowledges the assistance of the following organizations in the col-
lection of the data appearing in this section: The Florida State Board of Conservation
and the Marine Laboratory, University of Miami; the Alabama Department of Conservation,
Game and Fish Division; the Mississippi Seafood Commission; the Louisiana Wild Life and
Fisheries Commission; and the Texas Game and Fish Commission.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the fisheries
of the Gulf area appearing on the following pages have been previously published in Cur-
rent Fishery Statistics No. 1192. Data on the catch and operating units of the East
Coast of Florida and of the entire State of Florida may be found in Section 5 entitled
**South Atlantic Fisheries.’’

SECTION 7 - PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES

During 1953, the production of fish and shellfish in the Pacific Coast States (Wash-
ington, Oregon, and California) amounted to 734 million pounds valued at over $84 mil-
lion to the fishermen. This represented a decrease of nearly 98 million pounds or 12
percent in quantity and $6.5 million or 7 percent in value compared with the landings
of the previous year. Pacific sardine landings (9 million pounds) were the lowest since
this fishery became important early in World War I. Tuna receipts (304 million pounds)
dropped 19 million pounds during 1953 compared with 1952, while salmon totaled 93 mil-
lion pounds during the year, an increase of 23 million pounds.

The 1953 Pacific sardine fishery was even a more dismal failure than the 1952 season
since a total of 9 million pounds were caught during the year compared with 14 million
pounds taken in this fishery during the previous year. This was slightly more than 1
percent of the 1950 catch of 715 million pounds, and in no way comparable to the bil-
lion-plus catches of the World War II years. The few sardines caught during the year
were taken in Southern California below Morro Bay. There were no signs of sardines in
the Monterey and San Francisco Bay areas. During 1953, only 58 tons of sardines were
trucked to Monterey canners, and there were no sardine processing operations in San
Francisco for the sécond consecutive year. Of the 36 sardine reduction plants operating
in this area as late as 1950, all were dismantled with the exception of two firms. The
failure of the sardine fishery during the year also dealt a very serious blow to the
sardine fleet which was reduced by approximately 25 percent during the year. At Mon-
terey, many of the sardine canneries were either sold for other uses or went into re-
ceivership by the end of the year.

Although the tuna packers established a new record during the year, the domestic
catch of this item was over 19 million pounds less than the West Coast production of
the previous year. The record 1953 case pack was due entirely to the large increase in
the use of imported frozen tuna which accounted for a sizeable percentage of the total
tuna receipts used for canning. The trend toward increasing the pack of chunk-style
light meat tuna in California continued during the year, with this style accounting for
over 40 percent of the total tuna pack. A significant development during 1953 was
noted in a specialty pack of tuna and noodles, in l-pound tall tins, containing about
29 percent tuna. This style of pack totaled over one-half million cases of 24 cans per
case, and was produced by 3 canners on Terminal Island. An active market was reported
for this item during the year. As in 1952, an ex-vessel price agreement was reached in
January for both tuna bait boats and purse seiners. With the exception of skipjack,
the prices were the same as those paid in 1952, albacore, $400 per ton; bluefin, $310
per ton; yellowfin, $320 per ton; bonito, $195 per ton; and yellowtail, $185 per ton.
The skipjack price was raised from $260 per ton in 1952 to $280 per ton in 1953. In
the albacore fishery, the ex-vessel price held steady at $400 per ton for the season;
the same price as was paid during the latter part of the 1952 season. Albacore again
failed to appear in quantity during 1953 in the Pacific Northwest, and the tuna fleet
in this area decreased noticeably compared with the unfavorable season of 1952. Alba-
core catches in Washington were negligible, and the 1953 tuna production in Oregon fell
to less than one-third of the 1952 catch. In spite of the near-failure of the North-
west tuna fishery, the 1953 canned tuna pack in this area exceeded a half-million cases
and was slightly above the 1952 pack. This was accomplished by increased imports of
frozen tuna by the canneries of the area.

One of the few bright spots in the 1953 Pacific Northwest fishing industry was the
highly satisfactory canned salmon pack on Puget Sound. Of the 882,000 cases canned in
Puget Sound during the year, 82 percent came from locally-produced fish while the re-
mainder came from Canada (10 percent) and Alaska (8 percent). Particularly encouraging
also was the sockeye salmon pack which indicated the rehabilitation of the Fraser River
sockeye run. Pink salmon accounted for the bulk of the 1953 canned salmon pack on Puget

PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES

Sound since it was a pink salmon cycle year. The pack of these fish exceeded the pre-
vious cycle year pack by a very slight margin. The Columbia River canned salmon pack
continued to decline during 1953, with the lowest pack in the history of the area.
Although in 1952, production for the entire month of August was lost due to price dis-
putes, the Columbia River pack for that year was larger than in 1953. Except for slight
increases in the case packs of chinook salmon and steelhead trout, the pack of every
species declined and for the second consecutive year, the pack of chinook salmon, the
mainstay of the Columbia River fisheries, fell below 100,000 cases.

The Service appreciates the assistance of the following organizations in the collec-
tion of the data appearing in this section: The Washington Department of Fisheries;
the Oregon Fish Commission; and the California Department of Fish and Game.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the Pacific
Coast States fisheries, appearing on the following pages, have been previously pub-
lished in Current Fishery Statistics, No. 1188.

240 PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES

LANDINGS BY HALIBUT FLEET AT SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

During 1953, landings of halibut, lingcod, rockfishes, and sablefish at Seattle,
Washington, by the United States halibut fleet amounted to 15.1 million pounds valued
at approximately $2.5 million to the fishermen. In addition, a total of 515,024 pounds
of assorted fish livers and viscera, valued at $196,544 was landed by these vessels.
The combined landings were 10 percent greater in volume but 10 percent less in value
compared with the landings during 1952.

A summary of the 1953 landings at Seattle by the United States halibut fleet is con-
tained in the following tables. These landings represent the dressed weight of the
catch and are not directly comparable with the data contained in the sectional and State
catch tables. For additional information on the Pacific Coast halibut fishery, the
reader is referred to Section 12 of this publication entitled ‘‘Review of Certain Major
Fisheries.’’

SECTION 8 - LAKE FISHERIES

During 1953 the commercial catch of fish and shellfish in the Great Lakes and the
International Lakes of northern Minnesota amounted to over 77 million pounds valued at
approximately $9.6 million to the fishermen. This represented a decrease of nearly 4.6
million pounds or 6 percent in quantity and $1.9 million or 17 percent in value com-
pared with the landings of the previous year. Michigan led all other States in produc-
tion with a catch of over 25 million pounds, followed by Ohio with 22.9 million pounds
and Wisconsin with 20.5 million pounds. Lake Erie was the leading producer, with United
States fishermen taking over 27 million pounds and Canadian fishermen, more than 24
million pounds. Lake Michigan was second in production with nearly 29 million pounds,
the entire amount being taken by United States fishermen.

Due to budgetary limitations there was no canvass of operating units in the Great
Lakes for 1953. During 1950, the last year for which a canvass of operating units was
conducted, there were 4,841 men employed in these fisheries compared with 5,142 in
1940. This was a decrease of 30] fishermen during the ten-year period. It is believed,
however, that this figure fluctuated greatly throughout and following World War II.
Vessels of 5 net tons or over rose from 499 in 1940 to 661 in 1950, while the number of
motor and other boats increased from 1,785 to 1,810 during this ten-year period.

The catch of lake trout (2.4 million pounds) continued to decline in the Great Lakes
during 1953 and dropped to the lowest point since 1885 when records first became avail-
able. The great loss of this valuable resource has been caused mainly by the sea lam-
prey which prey on lake trout. During the year, the Branch of Fishery Biology of the
Fish and Wildlife Service continued its efforts to develop a method for controlling
this predator. Principal phases of the sea lamprey control program included expansion
of a large-scale pilot control project on Lake Superior; continued operation of struc-
tures for the capture of lampreys in index streams tributary to Lakes Huron and Mich-
igan; and screening tests of chemicals in an attempt to find a specific larvicide which
could be used in streams for the destruction of young eels. Additional biological
studies were also carried out during the year with the first large-scale fishery and
limnological survey ever made in Lake Superior being completed in the fall of 1953. The
research vessel Cisco completed nine cruises during the summer, three each in the east-
ern, central, and western areas of the lake. Experimental fishing yielded extensive
information on distribution and abundance of fishes, particularly on the little-known
small species and the young of commercial varieties. Large amounts of limnological data
and material also were collected -- currents, temperatures, water chemistry, plankton,
and bottom types and fauna.

The Chicago Market News Service of the Branch of Commercial Fisheries continued to
report trends and developments in the fisheries of the midwest during the year. Accord-
ing to reports issued by this office during 1953, fresh finfish supplies at Chicago
throughout the year were ample but showed uneveneness, resulting in contrasts of scar-
city and oversupply. These contrasts were particularly noted in the lake herring,
smelt, Canadian whitefish, yellow perch, and yellow pike fisheries. A greatly over-
supplied market during smelt-fishing operations forced prices down to a level where
costs were barely covered. Erratic receipts of lake herring, which normally are re-
ceived in liberal to heavy supply, were indicated during the year. A heavy Lake Erie
catch of blue and yellow pike was mainly responsible for generous supplies of these
species on the Chicago market. At various intervals during the season, there was a
depressed market for these species. The rough fishes were generally in liberal supply,
although buffalofish was not over abundant and maintained more stable markets than
other varieties in this category. Domestic lake trout and whitefish found almost con-
tinuously steady markets throughout the year due to light supplies.

The tables on the following pages contain a summary of the 1953 United States and
Canadian catch in the Great Lakes and the International Lakes of northern Minnesota as
well as detailed data on the catch by gear. Condensed summary data on the catch by
States and lakes of the Lake fisheries have been previously published in Current Fish-
ery Statistics No. 1137. Historical data on the fisheries of the Great Lakes may be
found in the report of the International Board of Inquiry for the Great Lakes and Stat-
istical Digest No. 27, entitled Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1950.

LAKE FISHERIES

During 1953, additional information was received from the Dominion Bureau of Stat-
istics of Canada concerning the commercial catch of fishery products in Lake Huron for
1952. The revised production data for the Canadian portion of Lake Huron may be found
at the bottom of page 245 in this publication.

The data in this section were assembled and prepared for publication by the Serv-
ice’s Branches of Fishery Biology and Commercial Fisheries from information collected
by the following agencies: Dominion Bureau of Statistics of Canada; Illinois Department
of Conservation; Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Fish and Game; Mich-
igan Department of Conservation; Minnesota Department of Conservation; New York State
Conservation Department, Division of Fish and Game; Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources, Bureau of Fish Management and Propagation; Pennsylvania Fish Commission; and
the Wisconsin Conservation Department.

Mi s: A Tibutaries for 1953 data. The most recent complete
statistics of the fisheries of this area are those collected for 1950. Summaries of
these data are shown in this section and are included in the general review operating
unit and catch summaries in Section 1 of this publication. Later information received
caused revisions to be made on the 1950 data which were previously published for the
Mississippi River Section in Statistical Digests Nos. 27 and 30. During 1950, the yield
of fishery products amounted to 103 million pounds valued at over $10 million to the
fishermen. This represented an increase of 25 percent in quantity and 250 percent in
value compared with the landings in 1931, the most recent previous survey. Rough fish
(carp, buffalofish, bullheads, garfish, and quillback) taken as a result of lake and
stream management programs, and the fishermen and gear employed in taking these fish,
have been included in the 1950 data. Although these fish, in many cases, were not

taken by commercial fishermen, they were marketed through commercial channels. Rough
fish made up a majority of the catch in some States.

Shown below is a supplementary table which was supplied by the Upper Mississippi
River Conservation Commission, which lists the commercial catch statistics of the five
upper Mississippi River States (Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin) for
1953. During 1953, the catch was reported as 5.7 million pounds compared with nearly
‘5 million pounds landed during the previous year. This represented an increase in pro-
duction during 1953 of 15 percent compared with the landings of the previous year. The
catch of shellfish and rough fish taken in the management programs was not included in
this report.

The Service acknowledges and is grateful for the assistance of the following organi-
zations in the collection of data appearing in this section: Alabama Division of Game,
Fish, and Seafoods; Arkansas Game and Fish Commission; Illinois Department of Conser-
vation; Iowa State Conservation Commission; Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife
Resources; Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission; Minnesota Department of Con-
servation; Mississippi Game and Fish Commission; Missouri Conservation Commission;
Oklahoma Game and Fish Department; South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks;
Tennessee Game and Fish Commission; and the Wisconsin Conservation Department.

Detailed data on the fisheries of the Mississippi River and its tributaries for the
year 1950 are contained in ‘‘Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1950’’, Statisti-
cal Digest No. 27. Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States
of the Mississippi River Fisheries, appearing on the following pages, have been previ-
ously published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 840.

SECTION 10 - ALASKA FISHERIES

; The commercial catch of fishery products in Alaska during 1953 totaled nearly 297
million pounds valued at approximately $26 million. This was a decrease of over 77

million pounds or 2] percent in quantity and nearly $1] million or 29 percent in value
compared with the landings of the previous year.

The 1953 Alaska canned salmon pack of nearly 2.9 million 48-pound cases, exclusive
of freezership fish canned in the United States, reached the lowest total since 192]
when the pack amounted to over 2.6 million cases. However, the low 1921 pack was attri-
buted to adverse economic conditions while the 1953 near-failure resulted from a scar-
city of fish. Although each Alaska district reported a drop in production during the
year compared with 1952, the most serious decline occurred in the Bristol Bay area
where a banner year had been anticipated. In this area the 1953 pack was far below the
1952 pack and only approximately one-third that of the previous cycle year of 1948. The
near collapse of this fishery was indicated by the Western Alaska 1953 red salmon pack
of 463,000 cases which was 815,000 cases less than in 1948 the previous cycle year.
Contributing greatly to the failure of the Alaska season was the meager pink salmon
pack of only 350,000 cases in Southeastern Alaska compared with 1.3 million cases in
1951 and 2.1 million cases in 1949. However, while not regarded as a red salmon dis-
trict, the pack of this species in Southeastern Alaska which amounted to 127,000 cases,
recorded the only noteworthy pack gain during the year. A very slight rise in the Chi-
nook salmon pack in Western Alaska was the only other gain shown in the Alaska salmon
industry during 1953 compared with the previous year. Central Alaska provided the few
bright spots in the Alaska canned salmon picture in 1953, and these, in an ordinary
season would have remained unnoticed except for the gloomy outlook of the salmon can-
ning industry in general. Therefore, the mild successes of the Kodiak Island and Chig-
nik areas were heartening to some small extent. Cook Inlet production was only fair,
while the Prince William Sound fishery was a near failure. In 1953, the pack of each
species of salmon showed a decline from the previous year: chinook or king salmon de-
clined 1 percent; red or sockeye, 20 percent; pink, 19 percent; chum or keta, 18
percent; and silver or coho, 35 percent. Of the total pack canned in Alaska, Central
Alaska furnished 47 percent; Southeast Alaska, 34 percent; and Western Alaska the re-
maining 19 percent. Late in 1953, the shortage of fish resulted in many of the leading
salmon packers requesting the Fish and Wildlife Service to implement drastic gear cur-
tailments in all Alaska. In addition to the salmon packed in Alaska, 73,000 cases of
Alaska-caught fish were packed by Puget Sound canneries. These fish had been trans-
ported to Puget Sound by freezerships. The 1952 pack of Alaska-caught fish by Puget
Sound canneries amounted to 109,000 cases.

The Branch of Alaska Fisheries and the Branch of Fishery Biology of the Fish and
Wildlife Service increased their efforts during the year to bring back the salmon fish-
ery to its former productivity. In order to determine the relation between the catch
and escapement of salmon, 24 weirs were operated in typical streams through which all
ascending salmon were counted. Seaward-migrating pink salmon fry were counted in 6 of
these streams, affording a means of appraising both fresh-water and ocean mortality
rates. The escapement of salmon to other streams was estimated by means of aerial and
ground surveys. These surveys indicated that generally satisfactory escapements of red
salmon were obtained in the Ugashik and Naknek Rivers of Bristol Bay, in Cook Inlet,
Copper River, and Yakutat, but inadequate numbers were found on the spawning grounds of
other Bristol Bay rivers, and in the Chignik and Kodiak areas. Escapements of pink
salmon were fair in the Alaska Peninsula, except the eastern section, and good at Kodi-
ak, but in the important producing areas of Prince William Sound and Southeastern Alas-
ka, they were smaller than in any recent year. Other species were found in normal
abundance.

The 1953 Pacific halibut season opened on May 17, 1953, in areas 1A, 1B, 2A, and 3A.
Areas 1B and 2A closed June 9, 1953, after 24 days of fishing, the shortest season on
record for the area, compared with the previous shortest season for those areas of 26
days in 1952. Areas 1A and 3A closed July 7, 1953, after 52 days of fishing, compared
with 60 days in 1952 for those areas. The 1953 area 3A season was the shortest on rec-
ord for that area.

ALASKA FISHERIES

During 1953, exploratory fishing surveys for shellfish, salmon, and herring were
conducted in Alaska by the exploratory fishing vessel John N. Cobb, of the Branch of
Commercial Fisheries. Shrimp exploration was conducted in Yakutat Bay during March and
April; offshore salmon resources were investigated both north and south of the Aleutian
Islands in June and July; and herring-fishing investigations were carried out during
the fall in Prince William Sound. Fishing operations for shellfish were carried out in
Yakutat Bay proper, and in the adjacent Pacific Ocean waters off Phipps Peninsula. Gear
fished included a 20-foot beam trawl, small otter trawl, scallop dredge, shrimp trawls,
and crab pots. Good concentrations of shrimp were located with the beam trawl between
Kame Stream and Blizhni Point, with the best catch yielding 1,020 pounds per hour. Off
Krutoi Island, shrimp were taken at the rate of 600 pounds per hour. A limited number
of otter and beam trawl drags off Phipps Peninsula produced negligible results. Val-
uable information relative to the offshore salmon stocks was collected during the sum-
mer in waters adjacent to the Aleutians as far west as Agattu Island. Gill nets, troll-
ing gear, floating longlines, and a trap were employed in experimental fishing opera-
tions at distances up to 60 miles offshore. Only two significant schools of herring
were located in Prince William Sound during the survey in October and November.

Statistics on the fisheries of Alaska were collected and compiled by the Branch of
Alaska Fisheries of the Service. The information contained in the following tables has
previously been published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 993. Detailed information
regarding the Alaska fisheries for 1953 may be found in Statistical Digest No. 85),
entitled Alaska Fishery and Fur-Seal Industries, 1953.

SECTION 12
REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES

There are presented in this section of the Digest complete data on the catch of cer-
tain of the major species of fish and she]]fish taken commercially in the United States
and Alaska. Although these data are included in the detailed catch tables for the vari-
ous states, they have been republishedinindividual fishery tables in this portion of
the report to provide readers with a single source of catch data for cod, haddock,
halibut, mackerel, menhaden, ocean perch, pilchard, salmon, tuna, oysters, and shrimp.
Most of the above species are taken by fishermen operating in several states or districts,
and a number are taken by several types of fishing gear. Because of this, the casual
reader of the Digest often experiences difficulty in locating complete data on the
catch of the species in individual state catch tables. The information contained in

this section includes the volume and value of the catch by individual types of gear and
by states and districts.

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA COD FISHERY

During 1953, the fishermen of the United States caught 41.3 million pounds of cod
valued at $2.6 million to the fishermen. This was a decrease of over 13 million pounds
or 24 percent in quantity and approximately $1.2 million or 31 percent in value com-
pared with the receipts of the previous year. rn
Otter trawls accounted for 83 percent of the cod catch; lines of all types 13 per-

cent; and gill nets, 4 percent. Other types of gear made up less than one percent of
the total catch.

Massachusetts, with a catch of over 27 million pounds of cod led in the production
of this species; followed by Washington with more than 8 million pounds, and Maine with
nearly 4 million pounds.

There was no cod fishery operating in Alaska during the year. This was the second
consecutive year that no cod was produced in Alaska.

ATLANTIC COAST HADDOCK FISHERY

The production of haddock on the East Coast of the United States during 1953 amount-
ed to approximately 140 million pounds valued at over $10.5 million to the fishermen.
This represented a decrease of nearly 22 million pounds or 14 percent in quantity and
almost $2 million or 16 percent in value compared with the previous year.

Otter trawls accounted for 98 percent of the total production while lines of all

types caught 2 percent. The catch taken by other types of gear comprised less than one
percent.

Of the total catch, 96 percent was landed in Massachusetts; the remainder was taken
in Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES

PACIFIC COAST HALIBUT FISHERY

The North Pacific halibut catch by both United States and Canadian craft which land-
ed at Seattle, Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia ports during 1953 totaled nearly
58 million pounds (dressed weight basis), a decrease of over 1.7 million pounds or 3
percent compared with the previous year.

The 1953 Pacific halibut season opened on May 17, 1953, in areas 1A, 1B, 2A, and 3A.
Areas 1B and 2A closed June 9, 1953, after 24 days of fishing, the shortest season on
record for the area, compared with the previous shortest season for those areas of 26
days in 1952. Areas 1A and 3A closed July 7, 1953, after 52 days of fishing, compared
with 60 days in 1952 for these areas. The 1953 area 3A season was the shortest on re-
cord for that area.

The United States 1953 halibut fleet was smaller than in 1952 by 13 craft of all
sizes and smaller than the 195] fleet by 115 craft. The chief reason for the decline in
the size of the halibut fleet was the movement of many vessels from the halibut fishery
to other fisheries offering longer seasons.

Data on the landings of halibut listed in the following tables represent the dressed
weight of the fish, which is the weight upon which the quota is based, while those in
other tables in this report represent the round weight of the catch. In the sectional
tables, halibut landed in Canada by vessels of United States registry is credited to
Alaska. The dressed weight of halibut appearing in this section can be converted to
round weight by multiplying by 1. 33.

ATLANTIC COAST MACKEREL FISHERY

TOTAL . ww ew ww ww

During 1953, the mackerel catch on the Atlantic Coast amounted to approximately 8.5
million pounds valued at slightly less than $1 million to the fishermen. This produc-
tion represented a decrease of over 9.6 million pounds or 53 percent in poundage and
nearly $600 thousand or 37 percent in value compared with the landings of the previous
year.

Purse seines, with a catch of 3.7 million pounds, continued to be the leading gear
used in the capture of this species. However, the catch by this gear in 1953 was 2 mil-
lion pounds less than the poundage taken by purse seines during 1952. During recent
years, mackerel have not been available in the Atlantic Ocean in schools of sufficient
size for successful purse-seining operations. Consequently, the annual spring exodus of
the New England mackerel purse-seine fleet to the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake areas

has narrowed to only a few vessels.

PACIFIC COAST MACKEREL FISHERY

The Pacific Coast mackerel fishery during 1953 continued the steady decline that has
been apparent in this fishery in recent years. The 1953 catch of this item amounted to
only 7.5 million pounds valued at $329 thousand to the fishermen, a decrease of 13 mil-
lion pounds or 64 percent in quantity and $456 thousand or 58 percent in value compared
with the landings of the previous year. Landings of mackerel in recent years have been
far below the record catch of 146 million pounds taken in 1935. The 1953 catch was the
smallest since 1927 when less than 5 million pounds were landed.

The entire 1953 Pacific mackerel catch was taken in California. The San Pedro Dis-
trict accounted for 83 percent of the catch followed by the San Diego District with 16
percent. The Santa Barbara and Monterey Districts accounted for the remaining | per-
cent.

Mackerel taken by seines and lampara nets accounted for 85 percent of the 1953 catch,
while brail or scoop nets caught 1] percent. Lines and gill nets accounted for the re-
maining 4 percent.

ATLANTIC AND GULF COAST MENHADEN FISHERY

The menhaden catch during 1953 established a new record of 1,696 million pounds val-
ued at nearly $18.6 million to the fishermen. This was an increase of over 312 million
pounds or 23 percent in poundage and $5.4 million or 41 percent in value compared with
the former menhaden record established during the previous year. The 1953 menhaden
catch was the largest United States annual production of any single species and was
nearly 200 million pounds greater than the 1936 record catch of Pacific sardines. Near-
ly the entire 1953 menhaden production was used in the manufacture of oil and meal with
only small quantities being used for bait.

Practically the entire menhaden catch, 97 percent, was taken in purse seines while
pound nets accounted for 3 percent and all other types of gear comprised less than 1
percent.

Of the total catch, 50 percent was landed in the Middle Atlantic area; 26 percent
in the Gulf area; 12 percent in the South Atlantic area; 10 percent in the Chesapeake
area; and the remaining 2 percent in New England.

OCEAN PERCH FISHERY

The catch of ocean perch during 1953 amounted to 154 million pounds valued at nearly
$6 million to the fishermen. This represented a decrease of over 35 million pounds or
19 percent in volume and $2.2 million or 27 percent in value compared with the 1952 re-
ceipts of this species. Massachusetts ports accounted for 61 percent of the total com-
pared with 68 percent in 1952 and 71 percent in 1951, while deliveries at Maine ports,
principally Portland and Rockland, comprised 39 percent, compared with 32 percent in
1952 and 29 percent in 1951. Landings in Rhode Island, the only other State in which
ocean perch were landed, amounted to only 4 thousand pounds.

Practically the entire catch was taken by otter trawls. Wage and price disputes dur-
ing the productive summer months contributed greatly to the reduced 1953 catch.

The entire ocean perch catch was used for fillets, most of which were frozen. Waste
from filleting was used in the manufacture of meal and oil, and as lobster bait.

PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY

During 1953, the catch of Pacific sardines amounted to 9 million pounds valued at
slightly over £500 thousand to the fishermen. This was a decrease of nearly 5 million
pounds or 44 percent in volume and a decrease in value of $5 thousand or | percent com-
pared with the landings of the previous year.

The 1953 take of Pacific sardines was the lowest since 1915 when the fishery was in
its early stages. The catch of this species reached a peak of 1.5 billion pounds in
1936 and, as late as 1944, billion plus catches were being recorded. By 1950, however,
the catch had slumped to approximately 715 million pounds and in the following year it
fell to less than half this amount. Continuing its downward trend in 1952, the catch
dropped to 14 million pounds and in 1953, to less than 10 million pounds.

During the year no sardines were caught in the San Francisco District, where in 1936,
nearly 800 million pounds were taken. Extensive investigations were continued during
the year by State and federal agencies in an effort to determine the cause for the com-
plete collapse of this formerly valuable fishery.

Historical data concerning the production of Pacific sardines since 1915 by States
and districts may be found in Section 13 of this publication.

PACIFIC COAST SALMON FISHERY

During 1953, the catch of salmon in the Pacific Coast States and Alaska amounted to
approximately 313 million pounds--a decrease of nearly 40 million pounds or 11 percent
compared with the landings of the previous year. Landings in the Pacific Coast States
increased over 23 million pounds while those in Alaska dropped nearly 63 million pounds
compared with 1952. In the Puget Sound District of Washington where pink salmon are
taken in quantity only in the odd-numbered years, the catch of this species amounted to
over 34 million pounds, approximately the same amount that was caught in the previous
cycle year. Of consequence however, was the 4.5 million pounds increase in the receipts
of sockeye salmon in Puget Sound, indicating the success of the Fraser River rehabili-
tation program.

The most important types of gear used in taking salmon in 1953 were purse seines, 107
million pounds; gill nets, 94 million pounds; pound nets (including floating traps), 50
million pounds; lines, 37 million pounds; and haul seines, 29 million pounds. Smaller
quantities were taken in reef nets and dip nets.

292 REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES

PACIFIC COAST TUNA FISHERY

Landings of tuna and tunalike fishes in the Pacific Coast States during 1953 totaled
304 million pounds valued at $47 million to the fishermen. This represented a decrease
of 19 million pounds or 6 percent in poundage and $2.2 million or 5 percent in value
compared with the landings of the previous year. The 1953 catch was far below the re-
cord 390 million pounds landed at West Coast ports during 1950.

With the exception of skipjack, prices were the same as those paid in 1952, albacore,
$400 per ton; bluefin, $310 per ton; yellowfin, $329 per ton; and bonito, $195 per ton.
The skipjack price was raised from $260 per ton in 1952 to $280 per ton in 1953.

Yellowfin was the most important species taken, accounting for 44 percent of the
total landings. Skipjack and albacore represented 40 and ll percent respectively with
the balance consisting of bluefin and bonito.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES

UNITED STATES OYSTER FISHERY

During 1953, the production of oysters in the United States amounted to nearly 80
million pounds of meats valued at $29 million to the fishermen. This represented a de-
crease of 2.5 million pounds or 3 percent in poundage and $3.3 million or 10 percent in
value compared with the landings of the previous year.

The Chesapeake area led all others in the production of oyster meats with 47 percent
of the total. The Middle Atlantic area was in second place with 18 percent followed by
the Gulf area with 16 percent; the Pacific Coast States with 13 percent; the South
Atlantic States with 5 percent; and the New England States with the remaining 1 percent.

Dredges accounted for nearly 56 million pounds or 70 percent of the total production,
while tongs, with nearly 21 million pounds accounted for 26 percent. Rakes, grabs, and

gathering by hand made up the remaining 4 percent.

In Section 14 of this Digest may be found tables which give the volume of the bushel
measures used for oysters in the various States and the average yields per bushel.

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA SHRIMP FISHERY

The 1953 catch of shrimp in the United States and Alaska amounted to over 260 mil-
lion pounds valued at nearly $77 million to the fishermen, the largest and most val-
able catch in the history of the fishery. This production represented an increase of
33 million pounds or 15 percent in poundage and $22 million or 39 percent in value.
During the year, several New England trawlers deserted Northwest Atlantic grounds for
the shrimp fishing in the Gulf and South Atlantic States.

Louisiana accounted for 33 percent of the total poundage followed by Texas with 27
percent, and the West Coast of Florida with 20 percent.

Otter trawls accounted for 99 percent of the total production. The remaining one
percent was caught by beam trawls, channel nets, bag nets, and traps.

SECTION 13 - HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS

Statistics of the fisheries of the United States are necessary for the best use of
the nation’s aquatic resources. As series of data for extended periods of time are
accumulated, the information becomes increasingly more valuable in indicating trends in
the supply and utilization of fishery products. The extent to which these data are used
is frequently dependent upon the ready availability of needed information to research-
ers, management officials, and members of the fishing industry.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has in its files and in scattered publications a number
of series of data which would be of use to persons interested in the fisheries. Unfor-
tunately few know of the existence of the information. To make these series readily
available, a section was added to the 1951] edition of ‘*Fishery Statistics of the United
States’’ entitled ‘‘Historical Fishery Statistics’’. As series of data are assembled
they will appear in this section.

The first of the series, entitled ‘ ‘Menhaden Fishery, 1873-1951’’, was published in
Statistical Digest No. 30, Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1951. The second,
entitled ‘‘Oyster Fishery, 1880-1952’’, appeared in Statistical Digest No. 34, Fishery
Statistics of the United States, 1952. The third in the series, entitled ‘‘Pacific
Sardine Fishery, 1915-1953’’, appears on the following pages.

PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY, 1915 - 1953

The Pacific sardine fishery is an outstanding example of a ‘‘boom’’ and ‘‘bust’’
industry. In less than 20 years these fish moved from a position of minor importance in
the Pacific Coast fisheries to that of the leading species taken by United States fish-
ermen, and then in an even shorter period, the catch dropped to less than 1 percent of
peak production. Pacific sardines were first taken in large numbers during World War I
to supply the expanding market for canned sardines. Adoption of the screw press in the
1920’s permitted utilization of cannery waste and whole fish for manufacture of fish
meal and 011. Rapid growth of the domestic and export markets for canned sardines, and
the domestic market for fish meal and oil resulted in a large expansion of the sardine
fishing fleet and in processing facilities.

The catch underwent phenomenal growth, increasing from only 4 million pounds in 1915
to 158 million pounds in 1918. By 1929, landings totaled 652 million pounds, and a peak
of 1.5 billion pounds was reached in 1936. The decline in the great sardine fishery was
even more spectacular than its rapid growth. After 1936, catches decreased sharply, and
1944 was the last year production exceeded a billion pounds. Production dropped to 256
million pounds in 1947, recovered somewhat in the next 4 years, and then in 1952 plunged
to only 14 million pounds. In 1953, landings amounted to less than 10 million pounds.

Early in its management program, the State of California had adopted a policy that
fish landed in the State should be used for food. However, an exception was made in the
case of sardines. Use of the fish for manufacture into meal and oil was more profitable
than canning, and great pressure had been exerted to use whole fish for reduction. In
an attempt to restrict the reduction of whole fish, it was originally required that 20
cases of sardines be canned from each ton landed. This requirement was reduced to 18,
then 15, and finally to 13.5 cases per ton. The operation of reduction ships outside
territorial waters off San Francisco Bay evaded this restriction, and the State was
forced to adopt a system of ‘‘special permits’’ under which specified quantities of
whole fish could be taken by permit holders for nianufacture into meal and oil. Issuance
of these permits was continued until the shortage of fish forced their discontinuance

in 1953.

In the early years of the fishery, the entire catch was canned, and although taking
of the fish for direct reduction increased rapidly in the 1920’s, canning remained the
principal use of sardines through 1931. In the following year, however, about two-

thirds of the 312 million-pound catch was used for straight reduction. Use of whole
fish for this purpose continued to increase, and in both 1934 and 1936, over 80 percent
of the catch was used as whole fish for manufacture into meal and oil. Most of the

catch continued to be used directly for reduction through 1944, and possibly 1945.

HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS

The catch in the San Francisco District increased to 789 million pounds in 1936 --
over half of the entire receipts of these fish in the Pacific Coast States. In this
year receipts of sardines by reduction ships reached a peak of 508 million pounds. This
District dominated the fishery until 1940, when Monterey moved into first place. In
1946, the fishery in the San Francisco District was almost a complete failure with re-
ceipts amounting to only 6.4 million pounds. Since that year, landings in this District
have been insignificant.

Monterey became an important sardine port in the early 1920’s. Peak landings oc-
curred in 1944, when receipts totaled over 500 million pounds. Following 1945, the
catch dropped rapidly and amounted to less than 2,000 pounds in 1953.

The San Pedro area had the most consistent landings of any of the California Dis-
tricts. Receipts increased steadily from the inception of the fishery to a peak of 547
million pounds in 1950. However, the catch in the following year was less than half
this amount, and the 1953 receipts were less than 8 million pounds.

In 1935, fishing for sardines was undertaken off the Oregon coast and a catch of over
52 million pounds was landed at coastal and Columbia River reduction plants. The Oregon
fishery declined following 1935, and reduction operations were discontinued after 1943.
In 1936, sardine reduction plants began operating on the Washington coast and the fish-
ery reached a peak of 53 million pounds in 1938. Production declined rapidly following
that year, and only insignificant quantities have been taken since 1947.

The canning of Pacific sardines has been the most important use of the fish with
respect to value of the products produced, and in all but eight years, the value of the
canned pack exceeded that for meal and oil. The pack of canned sardines first exceeded
1 million cases in 1923. Three years later it passed the 2 million mark, and by 1929
reached 3.8 million cases. Loss of the export market and the domestic depression caused
canning to decline, and in 1932 less than 1 million cases were packed. Following that
year, the pack increased rapidly and in 2 years -- 194] and 1950 -- exceeded 5 million
cases. After 1950, the canning declined sharply due to disappearance of the fish, and
in 1953, only 64,000 cases were packed.

The major portion of the catch of Pacific sardines has been used to produce meal and
oil since in addition to the whole fish used for reduction, the offal from canning oper-
ations, broken, crushed, and off-sized fish have likewise been used for this purpose.
It is estimated that of the total catch of 21.1 billion pounds of sardines taken by
United States fishermen during the years from 1915 to 1953, about 14 billion pounds of
whole sardines, offal, etc., were made into meal and oil. Production of sardine meal
reached a peak of 121,739 tons in 1936 and the record production of oil (26 million gal-
lons) occurred in the same year.

SECTION 14
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE

This report is another in a series of annual statistical reports containing data on
the quantity and value of the commercial catch of fishery products and the numbers of
persons and operating units engaged in the commercial fisheries of the United States
and Alaska. The report has been prepared and published by the Branch of Commercial
Fisheries, Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, and is a continuation
of a series inaugurated by its predecessor organizations in the Departments of Interior,
Commerce, Commerce and Labor, and the United States Fish Commission.

In order that those who use the statistical data contained in this and previous re-
ports may be informed as to the source of the figures and methods for their collection,
it has been deemed advisable to outline, in moderate detail, the survey procedure fol-
lowed. This procedure has been developed over a period of years, and changes in methods
have been made at times when such changes have appeared to work toward general improve-
ment. While the surveys in the several sections are not made in the same manner, owing
to varying facilities and records in different states, an attempt has been made to make
the data collected by various methods comparable with respect to the same year as well
as over a period of years. Throughout the entire plan it has been the intention to
coordinate State and Federal fishery statistical work so that there will be as little
duplication of effort as possible.

SECTIONAL SURVEYS

Statistical surveys of the fisheries and fishery industries of the various sections
of the United States occupy by far the greatest part of the time of the statistical
personnel of the Branch. In the course of these surveys, the field representatives
visit the individual fishing localities-of the various States to collect statistics on
the volume and value of the catch of fish and she]]fish, employment in the fisheries,
quantity of fishing gear, number and classification of fishing and transporting craft,
and the volume and value of manufactured fishery products and byproducts. The various
phases of these surveys are discussed in detail in the sections following.

History--The first comprehensive statistical survey of the fisheries and fishery
industries of the United States was made for thé year 1880 by George Brown Goode,
Assistant Director of the United States National Museum, and associates, with the co-
operation of the Commissioner of Fisheries and the Superintendent of the Tenth Census.
Data for specific fisheries, or restricted sections for years prior to 1880, also were
collected in the early survey and recorded in Mr. Goode’s reports. The survey for 1880,
however did not include the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Periodic general
surveys of a limited number of States or limited areas of the United States were made
for various of the intervening years between 1880 and 1908 and from 1909 to 1928. A
survey of the entire United States was made for 1908. The next general survey of the
entire United States was not made until 1931, although complete data for al] sections,
excluding the Mississippi River and its Tributaries, were collected for 1929 and 1930.
Complete data on the catch and operating units for these same sections were also co]-
lected for 1932. In the latter survey, however, lack of sufficient funds prohibited
collection of data on the wholesale and manufacturing operations except those data col-
lected as a part of the canned fishery products and byproducts survey. Various sections
were surveyed during the years from 1933 to 1949, inclusive. A complete survey of al]
sections of the country was made for 1950. Since 1951, all of the coastal areas were
canvassed, and catch records were obtained for the Lakes section. Data on the whole-
sale and manufacturing industries were collected in all of the surveys from 1933 to
1940, inclusive. With the exception of 1950, 1952, and 1953, lack of personnel and
funds in the years since 1940 precluded the collection of data on wholesale and manu-
facturing firms except for those data collected as a part of the canned fishery pro-
ducts and byproducts surveys.

The chart on the following page indicates the years for which surveys have been made
in the various sections. Figures for more recent years are available from the Service
in bulletin form, but data for the earlier years are available only in the Fish Com-
mission and Bureau of Fisheries printed reports. These reports are available for refer-
ence in the Department of the Interior library and in many public libraries.

Since the surveys of the fisheries have varied in completeness three legends have
been used for the years shown in the chart to indicate whether complete, partial, or no
surveys were conducted in the individual regions. The designation ‘complete survey’
has been used to indicate that basic operating unit and catch data were obtained and
that complete information was collected on employment in wholesale and manufacturing
establishments and on the production of manufactured fishery products. The legend
‘partial survey’ usually indicates that operating unit and catch statistics were col-
lected, but that no information was obtained on employment in wholesale and manu fac-
turing establishments and that only partial data were obtained on the production of
manufactured fishery products. In some instances the designation ‘partial survey’ is
used for regions in which only catch statistics were collected. The legend ‘no survey’
indicates that a general canvass was not conducted to obtain operating unit, catch,
employment in wholesale and manufacturing plants, and complete manufactured products
data. Although the charts indicated that in certain regions no surveys were conducted
some information may be available on the landings at certain important ports. Likewise
information on the catch of certain species, such as menhaden, may be available as a
result of information collected with the annual canned fish and byproducts survey. Data
on the annual production of canned fishery products and byproducts have been collected
for all regions since 1921, while information was obtainedon the production of packaged
fish for 1926 and annually since 1928.

A bibliography listing the various surveys made since 1880 and the publications in
which the results were published appeared in Statistical Digest No. 21. A list of the
statistical bul]etins in the Current Fishery Statistics series published during 1953
may be found in Section 17 of the current digest.

Field Personne!.--The statistics contained in this volume have been collected by a

group of trained marketing specialists which comprise a part of the permanent staff of
the Branch of Commercial Fisheries of this Service.

Period Covered.--These specialists are assigned permanent field stations, generally
in the principal port within their field, and travel from that station in conducting
cheir various surveys. They normally eallect statistics of fishery operations for the
year preceding that in which they are working; and since their field work occupies the
greater part of the year, it is usually at least a year from the end of ‘the calendar
year for which they are collecting data until the figures are available. The data
usually are collected and published on a calendar year basis, although for some States
they are on a fiscal] year basis. Prior to 1930, statistics on the catch of oysters in
the Atlantic and Gulf States were collected for the oyster season; that is, from Sep-
tember to April, inclusive. Beginning with 1930 and continuing to the present time,
they have been collected on the basis of the calendar year.

Scope.--The coastal] statistical surveys include canvasses of the commercial fisheries
of the oceans and bays and of the coastal rivers as far inland as commercial fishing
is important. This usually coincides with the range of commercial fishing for anad-
ramous species. Statistics of the fisheries of the Mississippi River cover canvasses
of the fisheries of the Mississippi River proper aswel] as al] of its tributaries wherein
commercial fishing for either fish, crustaceans, or mollusks is prosecuted. Statistics
of the fisheries of the Great Lakes cover canvasses, of the fisheries prosecuted in the
lakes proper, adjacent bays, the International Lakes of northern Minnesota, and rivers
which sustain a commercial fishery having outlets into these waters. Statistics on the
fisheries of Florida include the commercial fisheries prosecuted in Lake Okeechobee.
Surveys for statistics of the wholesale and manufacturing fishery industries cover such
plants located in the coastal, river, and lake areas adjacent to the waters mentioned
above.

Methods of Collection.--Several methods for the collection of fishery statistics are
employed, each of which has been carefully studied to obtain the best results with the
available personnel and funds. In most instances the field personnel obtain lists of
the names of fishing vessels, names and numbers of motorboats, and names of owners of
these craft from local custom officials. Also it usually is possible to obtain the
names of licensed commercial fishermen, fishing craft and some statistics on the catch
from State fishery agencies; from other State, county or city sources; or from private
organizations.

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE

With such preliminary records as are available for their guidance the field special-
ists visit each fishing community in their field unless these preliminary records are
so complete that personal visits may be eliminated. If complete catch data are not
available from central sources, wholesale dealers and manufacturers of fishery products
are visited and data are obtained from them on their purchases of fishery products.
While it is impossible for the few Service representatives available for this work to
interview each fishermen in a given locality, the more important ones are visited, and
a sufficient number of those of lesser importance are interviewed to obtain reliable
information on their production, the number of fishing craft employed, the quantity of
gear operated, and the number of persons employed as fishermen.

The state fishery agencies in a number of states have developed relatively complete
statistical systems which greatly facilitate the Service's surveys in these states. In
these states the Service only conducts such surveys as may be necessary to make the
data comparable with that of other States.

The Service obtains most of the catch statistics and usually the value of the catch
direct from the records of the State fishery agencies for the fisheries of the Great
Lakes, the Upper Mississippi River, and the International lakes of Northern Minnesota.
To obtain data on the number of fishermen, boats, vessels, and gear, the Service con-
ducts such personal surveys among the fishermen as may be necessary to supplement the
State records.

Service statistical personnel are stationed at Seattle, Washington, and San Pedro,
California, who survey the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States. As a rule they obtain
figures on the volume of the catch from the records of the State fishery departments.
The value of the catch is derived from state and dealers’ records. In Washington and
Oregon the data for operating units in the offshore fisheries are obtained from the
records of various fishery organizations as well as from records of the State Depart-
ment of Fisheries. Statistics of the wholesale fishery industry for this section are
obtained largely by persona] interviews.

In several States, the Service and the respective State fishery agency are cooper-
ating in the collection and publication of current monthly data on the catch. These
data form the basis of the annual data published in this report for the following
States: Florida, Maine, Mississippi, and Texas. State agencies in Connecticut, New
York, Delaware, and Maryland also cooperate with the Service in this work but the sta-
tistics are only tabulated annually.

In the administration of the Alaska fisheries, the Service requires that copies of
al] receipts for fish and shel]fish purchased from fishermen be furnished to the Servi-
ce’s Branch of Alaska Fisheries. The data on these tickets are compiled by that Branch
and the summary data, by districts, are reproduced in this report.

Statistics on the volume of the catch of fish of the Great Lakes States usually are
shown in weights as landed, which may be in the round or dressed condition. Statistics
on the volume of the catch of fish taken in the remainder of the United States are shown
in round weight.

The figures inthe tables for shellfish represent the weight of the meats in the cases
of univalve and bivalve mollusks and gastrapods, and the round weight of crustaceans
and such mollusks as squid and octopus.

Shore and vessel fisheries.--In general, statistics of the shore fisheries, as col-
lected by the Service’s representatives, include data on the number of casual and
regular fishermen; number of motor and other fishing boats and accessory boats; type
and quantity of gear used; and the volume, value, and method of capture of each species
caught by boats (for our purpose craft of less than 5 net tons capacity are called
‘boats’) for each locality or group of localities. This method is not followed in some
sections where the availability of data collected by the States fishery agencies
obviates the necessity of detailed locality surveys.

Statistics of the vessel fisheries include data on the number of the crew, rig of
vessels, net tonnage, kind and quantity of gear used, accessory boats carried, and
volume, value, and method of capture of each species. For our purpose craft of 5 net

307

308

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE

tons capacity or more are called ‘vessels’. As in the shore fisheries, the availability
of figures collected by State fishery agencies may eliminate the necessity of our agents
collecting these data for individual vessels.

Statistics of the quantity of gear operated indicate the maximum number of units
fished at any one time during the year. Gear carried in reserve for replacement is not
enumerated.

All persons engaged in commercial] fishing operations are included as fishermen. For
our purpose fishermen not on vessels have been divided into ‘regular’ and ‘casual’
fishermen. Regular fishermen are defined as those who receive more than one-half of
their annual income from fishing; whereas casual fishermen are those whose principal
business is something other than fishing, and who receive less than one-half of their
annual compensation from fishing. On the Pacific Coast and in Alaska it is impossible
to separate regular from casual fishermen.

Since 1942, the catch of fish and shel] fish has been credited to the port at which
it was landed. Prior to the survey for that year it was the practice of the Service to
credit the entire catch of a vesse] to the principal port at which fish or shel] fish
were unloaded, regardless of the actual point of landing. This policy was discontinued
since it quite often resulted in inconsistencies by crediting catches of certain fish
to areas to which they are not common inasmuch as fishing vessels occasionally operate
in areas far removed from their principa] fishing port. An outstanding example of this
is the case of the Southern traw] fishery. In this fishery conducted off the New
Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina coasts, many fishing vessels from Massa-
chusetts operate for 6 to 10 weeks during the winter season. Prior to the survey for
1942 the catch, consisting principally of fish common to these waters, was credited to
Massachusetts. Under the present system, this catch is credited to the southern ports
where it is ]anded.

Since 1949 on the Pacific Coast and 195] for the balance of the country, craft,
fishermen, and gear have been reported for each State in which they fished. A total
exclusive of duplication is shown for each section, and for the United States as a
whole. Prior to the surveys for 1949, each craft on the Pacific Coast was credited to
its home port unless it did not fish from that port during the year. Jn that case, it
was credited to the locality where it landed the greatest portion of its catch. Prior
to the survey for 1951, each craft on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and interior waters
was credited to the port where it ]anded the greatest portion of its catch during the
year. This system was changed to provide more accurate data on the total number of
craft operating in a given State. With the increased mobility of the fishing fleet in
recent years, the numberof vessels fishing inmore than one state has increased greatly.

Beginning with data for 195], the reporting of umitsof gear was standardized so that
nets or lines made up of small units for ease in handling, but fastened together in
fishing, were counted as a single unit rather than as a number of smaller units. Prior
to 1951, the small units were sometimes counted as individual pieces of gear even though
they were combined for fishing. This rule does not apply to halibut set or long lines
on the Pacific Coast. In this fishery each skate of gear is counted as one line, even
though they are fastened together in fishing, because the International Fisheries Com-
mission uses a skate of gear as a unit in their studies of fishing intensity.

Publication of Data.--Statistics of employment in the fisheries, craft and gear en-
gaged, quantity and value of catch, and certain data on industries related to the fish-
eries are summarized according to the geographic division and published in bulletin
form as soon as possible after the completion of each survey. Later, the figures, in
more detail, are included inthe annual reports of the Service entitled ‘Fishery Statis-
tics of the United States’ and in ‘Alaska Fishery and Fur-Seal Industries’.

Data on the operating units (fishermen, fishing craft, and gear) andcatch by counties
for the Atlantic and Gulf States have been included in these annual statistical reports
for the years from 1928 to 1938, except for 1932. These data have also been published
in the reports for the years 1945 and 1950. County data were collected for the areas
in which surveys were conducted during the years since 1938, except in Maryland since
1942, and the data are on file in the Washington office of the Branch of Commercial
Fisheries.

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE
LOCAL AND SPECIAL SURVEYS

Landings at Certain Massachusetts Ports.--Detailed statistics are collected on the
landings of aquatic products by individual fishing craft at Boston, Gloucester, New Bed-
ford, Provincetown, and other Cape Cod ports. Service representatives are permanently
stationed at each of these ports. They obtain daily figures on the quantity of fish
landed by each fishing craft, the value of such fish landed, the date of departure and
arrival of the craft, the gear used in their capture, and, except for ports located on
Cape Cod, the grounds from which the fish were taken. The Branch of Fishery Biology and
the Fishery Market News Service cooperate in the collection of these data.

Statistics on the landings at the above ports are released monthly and annually in
bulletin form and detailed data are published in the annual statistical digests of the
Branch. Products of American Fisheries received duty free at Boston and Gloucester
from the treaty coasts of Newfoundland, Magdalen Islands, and Labrador, have not been
included in the landings at these ports since 1938. Data on the landings at Boston and
Gloucester have been collected annually since 1893. Some data are also available for
these ports for earlier years. Information on landings at Provincetown and other Cape
Cod ports has been collected annually since 1945, and at New Bedford since 1938.

Shad and Alewife Fisheries.--Owing to the importance of the Hudson and Potomac Rivers
in the production of shad, surveys for statistics of the catch, value of the catch, and
operating units are made annually. On the Potomac River similar statistics are also
obtained for the alewife fishery. Much of the data required for these surveys are
available from the State fishery agencies.

Statistics of the annual shad and alewife fisheries are not published separately in
bulletin form. However, a summary of the data is published in the annual Statistical
Digest. :

Statistics of the shad fishery of the Hudson River are available for 1896, 1897,
1898, 1901, 1904, 1910, and annually since 1915, while data for the shad fishery of the
Potomac River are available for 1896, 1901, 1904, 1909, 1915, from 1919 to 1942, inclu-
sive, and annually since 1944. Statistics of the alewife fishery of the Potomac River
are available for 1896, 1909, 1915, 1919 to 1942, inclusive, and annually since 1944.

Pacific Halibut Fishery.--Statistics of the Pacific halibut fishery are obtained by
the Service’s personnel in Seattle, aided by Service representatives in Alaska, and the
International Fisheries Commission. The fleet classification is that of the Interna-
tional Fisheries Commission, under which vessels that are listed by the Commission as
having their home port in Alaska are included in the ‘Alaska fleet’, and all other
vessels of United States registry landing at Seattle or ports in British Columbia or
Alaska are included in the ‘Washington fleet’. The catch is credited to the point where
landed in the section ‘Review of Certain Major Fisheries’. In the other sections of
this report, all halibut is credited to the port where landed, except that all halibut
landed by United States and Alaskan craft in British Columbia is credited to Alaska.
Monthly and annual statistical bulletins are available on this fishery, being published
along with the statistics of the landings of fishery products at Seattle, Washington
and detailed statistics are published in the annual statistical reports of the Branch.
Statistics of the landings of halibut at Pacific Coast ports have been collected since

1925.

Canned Fishery Products and Byproducts.--Beginning in 1921, the Service has made
annual surveys for statistics of the canned fishery products and byproducts industries
of every section. These are begun the first week in January of each year for statis-
tics of the production in the preceding year. The Service obtains by mail, so far as
possible, the production of canned fishery products or byproducts from each plant in
the United States engaged in this business. Where it is impossible to obtain reports
by mail, the report is secured by personal visit by the Service’s agents. The data
obtained for canned fishery products include statistics on the yield and value of the
production for each commodity by can sizes, case sizes, and trade classifications. The
value shown for canned products and byproducts constitutes the gross amount received by
the packer at the production point, no deductions being made for commissions or ex-
penses. Statistics of the canned fishery products and byproducts produced in Alaska
are received on the same statements obtained by the Alaska branch that include statis-
tics of general fishery operations.

309

310

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE

Annual statistical bulletins are issued on this trade, and detailed statistics of
the output are published in the annual Statistical Digest. In addition to the data
obtained on the output of these products annually since 1921, data also usually were
obtained prior to [921 for the years the various sections were surveyed.

Packaged Fish Trade.--Statistics of the annual production and value of fish packaged
in the United States are obtained as a part of the survey for the statistics of the
canned fishery products and byproducts industries. These data are released in bulletin
form annually and later in more detailed and adjusted form in the annual Statistical
Digest. Statistics of the production of packaged fish are available for 1926 and annu-
ally since 1928, except that no data was collected for the years 1941 to 1946, inclu-
sive, in California.

Cold-Storage Holdings of Fish.--Information on the monthly freezings and holdings of
fishery products is obtained from cold storage warehouses by mail and by Service employ-
ees in various cities of the country. Data are also obtained on the holdings of certain
cured fish. Bulletins showing these statistics are issued monthly and annually.

Detailed cold-storage statistics also are published in the annual Statistical Digests
issued by the Service. Information regarding cold-storage holdings of fishery products
have been published since 1917 and data on quantities of fish frozen, for the years
from 1920 to 1925, inclusive and annually since 1928.

Foreign Fishery Trade.--Statistics of the foreign fishery trade are obtained from
compilations made by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. Statistics of
all known fishery products imported or exported have been assembled and published
annually since 1926 in the Branch’s Statistical Digest. For earlier years, they are
available in the reports of the Bureau of the Census, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, the Bureau of Statistics, the Department of Commerce and Labor, or the Treas-
ury Department.

PRACTICES AND TERMS

Certain practices and terms of importance used in the compilation of fishery statis-
tics are explained below.

Area Designations.--The Roman numerals used to designate the various areas in the
Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are those numbers assigned by the North American
Council of Fishery Investigations.

Days Absent.--In computing ‘days absent’ for vessels landing fares at the various
ports, the day of arrival, but not the day of departure is included; thus a vessel leav-
ing port on the 8th of the month and returning on the 15thof the month will be credited
with 7 days absence. Prior to 1944, ‘days absent’ included both the day of departure
and the day of arrival.

Operating Units.--Operating units as referred to in this document include persons
engaged in the fisheries, and craft and gear employed in the fisheries.

Vesse|.--The term ‘vessel’ refers toa craft having a capacity of 5 net tons or more.

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE

Boat.--The term ‘boat’ refers to a craft having a capacity of less than 5 net tons.

Incidental Catch.--The term ‘incidental catch’ refers to the catch of certain species
by a type of gear which ordinarily does not capture such species.

Percentages.--Percentages are usually shown as whole numbers. Fractions of percents
are dropped if less than five-tenths, and the percentage is raised to the next higher
integer if the fraction is greater than five-tenths. If the fraction is exactly five-
tenths, the integer is raised or lowered to make it an even number.

Fish.--The term ‘fish’ as used in this report includes all species belonging to the
class Pisces.

Shellfish, etc.--A shellfish is an aquatic invertebrate animal having a shell, such
as a mollusk, or crustacean. However, in order to reduce the classifications appearing
in the catch tables, all items not properly listed as ‘Fish’ or ‘Whale Products’ have
been included under ‘Shellfish, etc.’ Accordingly, there is included under this classi-
fication turtles, frogs, sponges, sea weed, worms, etc.

Whale Products.--Since data are not available on the poundage of whales taken,
statistics appearing in catch tables on the yield of these animals represent the weight
of whale products produced such as meal, sperm oil, whale oil, etc. The values shown
represent the amount received by the manufacturer for the products.

Converting.--Many of the figures shown in the statistical tables published herewith
have been converted to thousands of pounds or dollars. In making these conversions the
largest number from which a group of items is computed is raised or lowered to the
nearest thousands place. The individual items are adjusted to conformto the total thus
obtained.

Confidential data.--The statistical data collected by the Branch are confidential,
and unless specific authorization is given, are not divulged in any manner except to
employees of the Fish and Wildlife Service whose duties require this information.
Statistics on the production of wholesale and manufacturing firms are published only
for commodities or geographical areas where the production of three or more firms may
be grouped, unless special permission is obtained from the firms involved to release
the data.

CONVERSION FACTORS

It is the policy of the Service to show detailed catch figures of all products in
pounds for the sake of uniformity and for purposes of comparison. This presents little
difficulty in the case of fish since in very rare instances are fish reported in units
of measure other than pounds. For shellfish, however, the units of measure may be
bushels, sacks, barrels, thousands of shellfish, gallons of meat, etc. These many units
make standardization difficult, and when combined with the wide variation in the re-
quirements or definitions of some of these units in. the various States the problem be-
comes even more complex.

All bivalve mollusks are reported in pounds of meats in the detailed catch tables
presented in this report. In addition, there are included supplementary tables for
most of the sections, which give data on the production in bushels. These supplementary
tables also give the production of certain other shellfish, such as crabs, in number.

Oysters.--Probably the greatest problem in the presentation of fishery statistics in
uniform units of measure is in the case of oysters. Usually the production of oysters
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts is reported to Service personnel in bushels; and prior
to the data obtained for the year 1930 conversion from bushels to pounds of meats was
effected on the basis of a uniform yield of 7 younds of meats to the bushel. However,
investigations have shown considerable variation from this figure. There follows a
table which gives the measures used for oysters in the various States and the average
yields per bushel. The statistical tables in this report are based on these average

yields.

SECTION 16 - PICTORIAL SECTION

As many of the readers of this publication may not be familiar with all of the
species of fish and shellfish, etc., taken commercially inthe United States and Alaska,
illustrations of many of the various species are included in the following pages. The
descriptive material appearing with each species includes the areas in which commercial
landings are made in the United States and does not constitute the extreme limits in
which they occur. Similarly, the gear listed for each species do not represent the
only types of apparatus by which these species are obtained, but represent those types
which are normally used in their capture. The gear do not necessarily appear in the
order of their importance.

For more detailed information on the nomenclature of the fishery products listed be-
low the reader is referred to Section 15 of this publication entitled, ‘‘Glossary’’.
