POWER PUBLISHED BY BUREAU OF COMMERCIAL FISHERIES e WASHINGTON e 1961 PRINTED AT U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. - Price $2 (paper) Fishery Statistics of the United States are compiled and published annuallyto make available information on both the economic and biological aspects of the domestic com- mercial fisheries. Data on the economic aspects are necessaryto persons engaged in the commercial fishery 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 manufactured 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 manage- ment in providing detailed information on fluctuations inthe 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 deple- tion. Previous statistical reports on the fishery industries were issued under the De- partment of the Interior in the Administrative Report series for 1938 and in the Statis- tical Digest series for succeeding years. Reports for preceding years were issued in the Administrative Report series of the former Bureau of Fisheries.

Compared with the previous year, the volume of the catch increased 386 million pounds or 8 per- cent, while the value declined 24.6 million dollars or 7 percent. The average price paid to fishermen in 1959 was 6.8 cents per pound -- about onecent less than the pre- vious year. The increase in catch was caused by record landings of menhaden. Other major items showing significant gains were Pacific sea herring and shrimp. Large de- clines occurred in the productionof Pacific sardines, salmon, Atlantic sea herring, tuna, and alewives. Menhaden continued to rank first in volume among the species taken by United States fishermen -- a position it has held continuously since 1946. The catch totaled a record 2.2 billion pounds -- 43 percent of the total United States production of all species of fish and shellfish, etc. Landings were up in all areas with the yield in the Gulf States reaching a record 752 million pounds -- a gain of 70 percent over the pre- vious year's catch in these States. Despite a record production, the menhaden industry was in serious difficulty at the end of the year. A large increase in the manufacture of low cost fish meal in Peru disrupted the world market for meal. The record domestic production of meal, heavy imports, and a sharp decline in the price of meal resulted in the year ending with inventories of meal at a high level and prices down from about 130 dollars per ton at the beginning of the year to less than 100 dollars. The tuna fishery was disrupted by prolonged ex-vessel price disputes resulting in a tie-up ofover five months for the California fleet of tuna clippers andover two months for the purse seine fleet. This reduced the United States tuna catch to only 286 million pounds -- 42 million pounds less thanin the previous year. Albacore was the only major species to show a gain. Catches of bluefin declined 15 million pounds; skipjack, 19 million pounds; and yellowfin, 16 million pounds. Late in 1959, it became apparent that the large tuna purse seiners, converted from tuna clippers, were proving unusually successful in taking tuna. The vessels were making 30-day trips in contrast to an av- erage of 80 days for tunaclippers. The conversion was made possible by the development of the "Puretic" power block and the use of large nylon seines. Use of the block per- mits reducing the number of men on the vessel and cuts by about one-half the time requiredto haulthe net. By the end of 1959 fifteen converted seiners were inoperation, 20 were being converted, and there were plans for many additional conversions. Prices for tuna declined sharply duringthe year. The 1959 average price for yellow- fin tuna was 260 dollars per ton compared with 270 dollars in 1958, while that for skip- jack was 212 dollars -- 19 dollars below the previous year's average. As a result of the sharp decline, the auction method of selling was discontinued late in the year. The 1959 catch of shrimp (240 million pounds, valued at 58 million dollars) yielded more revenue to United States fishermenthan any other species. Increased catches were made in the middle and western Gulf, the South Atlantic States, and the Pacific Coast States. Large runs of brown shrimp in Louisiana and Mississippi during the late spring and early summer and off the Texas Coast in the late summer and early fall contributed chiefly to the increase. As a result of larger landings; shrimp strengthened its position as a major fishery of the United States occupying the number one position in value and fourth position in volume. With respect to food-fishes it was exceeded only by tuna in volume. Despite heavier landings the shrimp industry faced many problems during the year. Prices declined rather steadily resulting in a 20 percent loss in value when compared with the previous year. Vessel owners were particularly hard hit with stabilized or in- creased costs and lower returns for the catch. This resulted in reduced. crewmen for each vessel in several sections during the periods of light catches. GENERAL REVIEW In an attempt to increase profits some units of the fleet transferred to waters off Central and South American countries where the shrimp grounds had not previously been worked with any degree of intensity. Trade association groups requested Congress to restrict the quantity of imports, particularly from those countries which had recently developed their shrimp fisheries. The inshore and offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico accounted for 80 percent of the volume and 87 percent of the value. While the Pacific Coast States contributed nearly 9 percent of the volume they accounted for only 2 percent of the value. The salmon fishery in the four Pacific Coast States, in 1959, yielded acommercial catch of only 202 million pounds -- the smallest during the century. Landings in Alas- ka were 39 percent less than in 1958; while the Oregon catch was down 35 percent, and Washington, 22 percent. However, large catches of chinook and silver in California raised that States catch to 6.8 million pounds -- 85 percent more than in the previous year. Although California is not considered a major salmon producing State, its 1959 catch exceeded that for Oregon. California also led Washington in the catch of chinook salmon. The decline in the salmon catch was caused principally byreduced catches of chum and pink salmon in Alaska, where production of these species was down 29 million pounds and 73 million pounds, respectively; and red salmon in Puget Sound, where the catch was down 23 million pounds. Landings of all species of salmon were less than in 1958. However, the catch in some areas increased. In Alaska, the catch of red salmon was up nearly 9 million pounds. The Puget Sound catch of pink salmon, while not large for an odd-year run, amounted to 13.6 million pounds compared with only 23 thousand pounds in 1958; and the California catches of both chinook and silver salmon were up Sharply. Prohibition of salmon traps in Alaska, except for a few operated by Indian tribal communities , reduced the catch bythis once major type of gear toonly 1 percent of the total salmon taken in the Pacific Coast States. In 1958 this gear took 20 percent of the salmon catch while it captured 41 percent in 1934, when pound nets were the principal “salmon gear in Alaska, and the last year they were allowed in Washington except on Indian reservations. The 1959 pack of canned salmon amounting to 2,465,213 standard cases (118,330,224 pounds) was valued at 71,827,335 dollars to the packers. This was a decline of 34 percent in volume and 23 percent in value compared with the 1958 production. In Alas- ka the pack of all species, except red or sockeye, was less than in 1958, and the pack was the smallest since 1900. Sardines were somewhat scarce in1959 yielding a catch of only 74 million pounds valued at 1.5 million dollars. Compared with 1958, which marked the return of the sardine after a partial absence since 1951, this was a decreaseof 64 percent in volume and 73 percent in value. Purse seiners and lampara rigs once again accounted for most of the catch. The 1959 sardine pack amounted to only 755 thousand cases compared with 2,223 thousandcases in 1958. This low production reduced supplies which caused improvement in the market by the end of the year. The 1959 catch of jack and Pacific mackerel amountedto 75.3 million pounds valued at 1.9 million dollars. This represented an increase over 1958 of 25.4 million pounds or 51 percent in volume and 649 thousand dollars or 51 percent in value. Despite the substantial increase, the catch was considerably below the 144 million pounds taken in 1957. The pack of canned mackerel amounted to 587 thousand cases valued at 4.2 million dollars. The pack yielded canners an average of 65 cents less per standard case than in 1958. GENERAL REVIEW The 1959 catchof anchovies amounting to 7.2 million pounds valued at 100 thousand dollars was less than forany year since 1951. Compared with 1958 the catch was down 4.7 million pounds or 39 percent in volume and 69 thousand dollars or 60 percent in value. In addition to being scarce, the fish were smaller than the size preferred for canning. The pack of anchévies amounted to 4,275 cases, only 8 percent of the 1958 pack of 53,735 cases. The ex-vessel cannery price remained steady at 25 dollars per ton during 1959. However, the value of the canned product increased over a dollar per case compared with 1958. The 1959 catch of sea herring, the fifthranking item in the United States fisheries, amounted to 236 million pounds -- 15 percent under the previous year's production. Compared with 1958, Atlantic herring, showed a decrease of 58 million pounds, while the Pacific herring catch increased 15 million pounds. In Maine, where most of the herring is canned as sardines or pet food, imports of this species from Canada totaled nearly 65 million pounds, 26 millionpounds over 1958. Most of the domestically-caught and imported Atlantic herring was used to pack 1.8 million cases of sardines. Many of the herring taken in Maine were too large for canning. Over 3 million pounds of At- lantic herring were exported from Maine to Canadian packers, compared with over 13 million pounds in 1958. Most of the catch of Pacific herring was used to produce 8,444 tons of meal and 1.8 million gallons of oil. The 1959 North Pacific halibut catch by United States and Canadian craft totaled 71.4 million pounds (dressed weight) -- 6 million pounds more than in 1958. United States fishermen took 40.3 million pounds, 4 million pounds more than in 1958 -- while Canadian fishermen increased their catch from 29 million to 31 million pounds. The Canadian catch accounted for 43 percent of the total production -- a slight decline percentagewise from the previous year but the greatest tonnage ever taken by the Ca- nadians. A total of 349 vessels and 26 boats comprised the regular United States halibut fleet during 1959. The International Pacific Halibut Commission in an effort to encourage fishing west of the Shumagin Islands and in the Bering Sea (Area 313) con- tinued the extended April 1 to October 16 season in these waters. The Canadians continued the trend established in recent years to land more of their catches in Alaska and at Seattle. This resulted in a record catch of over 10 million pounds from the area. Combined Atlantic groundfish landings (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock, and ocean perch) amounted to nearly 328 million pounds valued at over 21 million dollars. Compared with 1958, this was a decrease of 21 million pounds or 6 percent, and 1.2 million dollars or 5 percent. Cod (46 million pounds), cusk (2.2 million pounds), and hake (5 million pounds) showed increases compared with 1958. Haddock landings totaled 113 million pounds valued at 11 million dollars -- a decrease of 7 million pounds and 800 thousand dollars compared with the previous year. The 1959 catch of this species was the lowest since 1923. Scrod-sized haddock continued scarce on Georges and Browns Banks, and for the second consecutive year fell behind large haddock. Ocean perch landings, which amounted to 137 million pounds, were 12 million pounds or 8 percent less thanthe previous year. Pollock yielded acatch of over 24 million pounds -—- 8 million pounds less than in 1958. Pollock could have been landed in greater volume had there been a market for the fish. Imports of groundfish fillets and blocks, which are in direct competition with the domestic production of these items, were again re- ceived in record volume. The domestic production of groundfish fillets amounted to 91 million pounds -- about 8 million pounds less than inthe previous year -- while imports totaled nearly 185 million pounds, an increase of 38 million pounds or 26 percent over the 1958 receipts. GENERAL REVIEW The 1959 production of oyster meats was undoubtedly the smallest in overa century. The catch of 64.7 million pounds of meats valued at 29.5 million dollars was 3 percent less in both volume and value than the previous year. Gains were registered in the Gulf, South Atlantic, Pacific and New England States but these were not sufficient to overcome the severe decline in the Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake States. Diseases, such as Dermocystidium marina and others, and predators continued to reduce pro- duction in the Middle Atlantic States, and the disease that caused such extensive oyster mortality in the Delaware Bay area was found in some Chesapeake areas. The increase in the Gulf States was largely the result of an unsually good harvest in Texas where reefs that had not produced in many years began to yield very good catches. Heavier rainfall and added fishing effort contributed to the larger catches. The increase in the South Atlantic States was largely the result of better planting techniques and improved management practices. The Chesapeake Bay States accounted for 51 percent of the total volume and 70 per- cent of the value of the 1959 harvest. The Gulf States accounted for 21 percent of the volume but only 13 percent of the value of the catch. The catch of crabs in 1959 amounted to a record 174.6 million pounds valued at 14.8 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1958 this was an increase of 8.3 million pounds or 5 percent in volume’and 2.4 million dollars or 20 percent in value. The Pacific Coast States (55.9 million pounds) led all other areas in production accounting for 32 percent of the volume and 44 percent of the value. The Chesapeake States were in second place with 45.5 million pounds or 26 percent of the volume and 27 percent of the value. The South Atlantic States followed with 22 percent of the vol- ume but accounted for only 14 percent of the value. The Gulf States accounted for 17 percent of the volume but only 12 percent of the value. The remaining 3 percent of both volume and value was taken in the New England and Middle Atlantic States. The production of blue crabs (116.5 million pounds) accounted for 67 percent of the total volume. Crabs were less plentiful in the Chesapeake Bay area resulting in more intense fishing in the South Atlantic and Gulf States. Dungeness crabs (36.9 million pounds) accounted for 21 percent of the volume while king crabs set a new record with 18.8 million pounds or11 percent of the catch. The following table represents recorded production for the areas in which surveys were made for the years shown and estimates for other regions. Data have been col- lected on the catch in all areas for the years following 1953. Hawaii data have been included for all years.

San Pedro, California, which is usually in first place, was second, with landings of 296 million pounds, consisting largely of tuna, and jack and Pacific mackerel. Lewes, Delaware, a menhaden port, was in third place, with landings of 283 million pounds; Cameron, Louisiana, a men- haden and shrimp port, was fourth (237 million pounds); andGloucester, Massachusetts was fifth, with receipts of 229 million pounds, consisting largely of whiting, ocean perch, menhaden, haddock, and unclassified fish taken for reduction. San Pedro, California occupied first place among United States fishing ports with respect to the ex-vessel value of landings (26 million dollars); followed by New Bedford, Massa- chusetts, 15.7 million dollars; and Boston, Massachusetts, 11.2 million dollars. In 1959 for the first time, the catch of fish for industrial purposes and for animal feeding (2,753 million pounds) exceeded the quantity taken for human consumption (2,369 million pounds). The catchtaken for reduction consisted of 2,519 million pounds, which was manufactured into meal, solubles, and oil; 170 million pounds fresh, frozen, and canned, used for direct animal feeding; 50 million pounds used as bait; 12 million pounds of mussel shells used in the manufacture of buttons; and 2 million pounds used for other purposes. It is estimatedthat the 1959 catch was marketed as follows: 1,539 million pounds (round weight) as fresh and frozen, 977 million pounds for canning, 83 million pounds for cured products, and 2,523 million pounds for manufacture into industrial products, About 678 million pounds of waste from filleting, canning, and otherwise preparing fish for market were also used in the manufacture of industrial products. The per capita consumption of fish and shellfish in the United States amounted to 10.7 pounds (edible weight) during 1959 -- the same as in the previous year. Consumption of fresh and frozen items amounted to 5.9 pounds; canned, 4.2 pounds; and cured, 0.6 pounds. Canned tuna was the principal item consumed, with groundfish in the form of fillets, sticks, and portions second. Canned fishery products were packed by 359 firms in the United States, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa in 1959. The pack amounted to 975 million pounds valued at 348 million dollars to the packers --a decrease of 11 percent in volume and 10 per- cent in value compared with the previous year. The pack consisted of 628 million pounds of fish and shellfish canned for human food and 347 million pounds canned for use as animal food and bait. Packs of salmon, and Maine and Pacific sardines were down sharply compared with the previous year, and were responsible for the decrease in the volume and value of the items canned for human food. Industrial fishery products were manufactured by 212 plants in 1959. The pro- duction of fish meal and scrap amounted to 307 thousand tons -- 58 thousand tons more than in 1958. There were 25 million gallons of fish and fish-liver oils produced in 1959 -- 3 million gallons more than in the previous year. The productionof fishsolubles and homogenized-condensed fish, totaling 331 million pounds, was 27 percent more than in 1958. During 1959, the production of fresh and frozen packaged fish fillets and steaks in the United States totaled 147.2 million pounds valuedat 46.2 million dollars to the processors. Compared with 1958, this represented a decreaseof 8.6 million pounds in volume and 5.1 million dollars in value. Fillets of Atlantic ocean perch, flounder, and haddock -- the principal items produced -- accounted for 64 percent of the volume and 63 percent of the value. GENERAL REVIEW A total of 336.6 million pounds of fishery products was frozen by over 290 domestic freezing plants which reported their activities to the Bureau during 1959. Of the total, 227.1 million pounds consisted of fish and 109.5 million pounds, shellfish. Leading products frozen were shrimp, fillets and steaks (consisting principally of haddock and ocean perch), various species for bait and animal food, halibut, and dressed whiting. It is estimated that the live weight of the items frozen amounted to 551 million pounds. United States foreign trade in fishery products in 1959 was valued at 411 million dollars, of which 367 million dollars represented the value of products imported for consumption -- a record -- and 44 million dollars the value of exports of domestic fishery products. The value of fishery imports entered for consumption in 1959 was 12 percent greater than in the previous year, while the value of exports of domestic fishery products increased 43 percent. Important items received in considerably greater volume during 1959 were frozentuna, shrimp, groundfish fillets, andcanned tuna. During 1959, imports of groundfish and ocean perch fillets, including blocks and slabs, and receipts classified as bits and pieces, were estimated to have totaled a record 185 million pounds, compared with a domestic production of only 91 million pounds. There were 479 vessels documented as fishing vessels for the first time in 1959 compared with 684 vessels in the previous year -- a decline of 30 percent. The de- crease in newly-documented fishing craft during 1959 occurred mainly in the South At- lantic and Gulf States.

Summaries of oper- ating unit and catch statistics foreach region of the United States also have been pre- viously printed inthe Current Fishery Statistics series of bulletins. Of importance also to those interested in the most recent fishery data available is the annual publication "Fisheries of the United States, A Preliminary Review," (Fishery Leaflet 393) which is available in April of each year. It contains preliminary data on many aspects of the fisheries for the previous calender year, with comparative data for previous years. This publication may be obtained free from the Office of Information, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington 25, D. C. A list of current statistical publications of the Bureau, containing data on the do- mestic fisheries, is included in Fishery Leaflet No. 432 entitled "Fishery Statistical Publication of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries." The publication also lists other Federal agencies, interstate commissions, and international and non-governmental sources of fishery statistics. Copies of this leaflet may likewise be obtain free from the Office of Information.

Insofar as possi- ble, all other fish and shellfish items are shown on a live weight basis. Since world fishery statistics published by the Foodand Agriculture Organization of the United Nations represent the live weight of the catch for allitems of fish and shell- fish, ithas been necessary to provide that organization with information on the domestic catch of all species on a live weight basis. Data released by the Food and Agriculture Organization, therefore, indicate that the 1959 United States catch was 1.3 billion pounds greater than the figure appearing in Fish and Wildlife Service publications. The increase is due to the inclusion of the weight of the shells of univalve and bivalve mollusks in the Food and Agriculture Organization data. It has been deemed desirable to include in this report atable showing the entire domestic catch on alive weight basis and to publish information on the catchof fishery products in the principal countries of the world so that the relative importance of the domestic fisheries can be determined. Tables containing these data follow.

GENERAL REVIEW MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS The 1959 production of manufactured fishery products (packaged, canned, cured, and byproducts) in the United States, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico was valued at nearly 752 million dollars to the packers. This was 43 million dollars less than in the previous year. Canned products made up 46 percent of the total value; fresh and frozen packaged items, 37 percent; byproducts (principally meal, oil, and solubles), 11 per- cent; and cured products, 6 percent. The canned fish and shellfish pack in 1959 totaled nearly 975 million pounds val- ued at 348 million dollars. The pack for human consumption amounted to 628 million pounds valued at 310 million dollars; that canned for animal food and bait totaled 347 million pounds valued at 38 million dollars. The 1959 pack of tuna was greater than any other canned for human consumption and amounted to 14.3 million standard cases (282.2 million pounds), exceeding the record pack of 1958 by nearly 238 thousand cases. However, the value of the tuna pack in 1959, amounting to 159 million dollars, was approximately two and one-half million dollars less than in the previous year. The pack of canned salmon amounted to 2.5 million standard cases (118.3 million pounds) with a value of nearly 72 million dollars -- 34 percent less in volume and 23 percent less in value than in 1958. The 1959 pack of Pacific sardines was approximately one- third of the volume and value of the pack of the previous year. The production of freshand frozen packaged fishery products in 1959 totaled nearly 528 million pounds valued at about 281 million dollars. Compared with the previous year, the 1959 volume was 3 percent greater but the value was 1 percent less. The 1959 production of fishery byproducts was valued at over 82 million dollars -- 3 percent greater than in the previous year. Fish meal and scrap, totaling 613 million pounds with a value of 36 million dollars, was up 24 percent in volume but was only 13 percent greater in value than in 1958. Over 187 million pounds of marine-animal oils, valued at 13 million dollars, were produced in 1959. Compared with the previous year, this was an increase of 13 percent in quantity and 6 percent in value. The pro- ductionof fish solubles and homogenized-condensed fish amountedto about 331 million pounds with a value of 10 million dollars -- up 70 million pounds in volume but down one million dollars in value compared with 1958. 593122 O- 61 -3 31 GENERAL REVIEW MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS, 1959 ITEM UNIT VALUE ALEWIVES: CANNED: FISH av ener hin ah wiiny eke) nf wy aiday etre te, Te STANDARD CASES 72,893 $340,459 ROLwmertia total cheers Sten Gheten sustetenea te DO 38,176 475,593 SALTED: CORNED He er in, ba te eye se le) ois) ota) we) wel.

Compared with the previous year, this represented a decrease of 8.6 million pounds or 6 percent in volume and 5.1 million dollars or 10 percent in value. It was estimated round fish weighing 431.0 million pounds were re- quired for the 1959 production of packaged fillets and steaks. Atlantic ocean perch fillets (38.7 million pounds) and haddock fillets (30.6 million pounds) were the leading items and accounted for 47 percent of the total volume and 42 percent of the total value. Other leading items filleted and steaked were flounders, cod, pollock, and halibut which made up 36 percent of the total quantity and 39 per- cent of the total value. The greatest production of packaged fish occurred in the New England area which accounted for 69 percent of the volume and 61 percent of the value. The data in this section cannot be correlated directly with information in the sec- tion on Manufactured Fishery Products as that section contains a small production in Alaska which is not included inthe following tables.

Nearly 367 million dollars represented products imported for con- sumption and over 44 million dollars, exports of domestic fishery products. The value of fishery products imported for consumption was the highest ever recorded, and ex- ceeded that for 1958 -- the previous high year -- by 12 percent. The value of fishery products exported was 43 percent greater than during the previous year, and was ex- ceeded only in 1943 and 1947 when the value of fishery exports amounted to nearly 49 and 53 million dollars, respectively. Imports of edible products in 1959 amounted to 1.1 billion pounds with a value of 311 million dollars, exceeding 1958 receipts by 12 percent in volume and 11 percent in value. Fresh or frozen fish fillets, including blocks or slabs, tuna, and shrimp, were among the more important items received in greater quantity Imports of non-edible fishery products totaled 55 million dollars -- 18 percent more than in 1958. The value of most of the more important products (fish solubles, meal for animal feed, and pearls) amounting to 32 million dollars in 1959, was greater than during the previous year. Edible fishery products exported in 1959 amountedto 81 million pounds witha value of 27 million dollars --an increase of 23 percent in volume and 38 percent in value com- pared withthe previous year. Exports ofnon-edible products, valued at 17 million dol- lars, were 51 percent greater than in 1958.

The quantity landed, 65 million pounds less than in the previous year, was the lowest since 1953. The value of the catch, however, was slightly above that of 1958 and was the highest per-pound- price return to fishermen since 1952. Relations between fishermen, vessel owners, and processing plants were generally good. Although severe at times, weather conditions on the North Atlantic fishing grounds, an area noted for destructive storms, were not abnormal. Major factors contributing to the low 1959 catch were a sharp decline inthe catches of sea herring, alewives, ocean perch, pollock, and haddock; and moderate decreases in the landings of flounders, otter-trawl caught industrial fish, and clams. Landings would have been even lower had not menhaden once again been taken in quantity, a new record established in the catch of sea scallops, and slight increases occurred in the production of whiting, cod, andnorthern lobsters. Dollar-wise, the overall economic pinch caused by the lower production was eased somewhat by the greater return received by fishermen engaged in the lobster and scallop fisheries. There were 21,051 fishermen engaged in the NewEngland fisheries in 1959. Fish- ing craft operated in these fisheries during the year consisted of 758 vessels of 5 net tons and over, 10,703 motor boats, and 841 other boats. Wholesale and manufacturing fishery firms operated in the New England States in 1959 numbered 553, afew less than in the previous year. These firms gave employment to over 13 thousand persons. Manufactured fishery products were valued atover 113 million dollars -- almost5 milliondollars less than in 1958. A decrease in the produc- tion of packaged fresh and frozen fish fillets and steaks and canned sea herring (sardines) was primarily responsible for the lower value. Principal manufactured products produced inthis area in 1959 were canned sea herring (sardines), clam products, and animal food; packaged fresh and frozen fillets, sticks and portions, and sea scallops; and fish meal, oils, solubles, and homogenized-condensed fish. The New England groundfish fishery continued to operate under severe difficulties in 1959. Foreignfishery products, competitive with groundfish, again arrived in record volume. The domestic fishery, which is largely dependent on the catch of haddock and ocean perch, was in poor financial condition at the end of the year. Lower landings of major species in the groundfish group and generally lower ex-vessel prices for these species plagued the industry. Greater vessel operating expenses and higher labor costs served to intensify this critical situation. The total 1959 combined catch of groundfish was 7 percent less in both volume and value than in the previous year. Boston's fishing fleet continued to devote its major attention to the haddock fishery. However, these fish, particularly scrod-sized haddock on Georges and Browns Banks, were scarce in 1959. The total New England catch of haddock was nearly 7 million pounds below that of the previous year and the lowest production since 1923. There was a substantial decline in landings of ocean perch from local waters -- particularly larger fish which were in demand. Gloucester's ocean perch otter trawlers made fewer trips in 1959 and some vessels, influenced by low ocean perch ex-vessel prices, turned to other fisheries for their income. Landings of ocean perch at Gloucester were at the lowest level since 1940 while the total New England catch was the smallest since 1945. The poor market for pollock prevented fishermen from concentrating on this species when NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES they became available in large numbers. Ex-vessel prices were low -- there was no demand for pollock for use in fish blocks as there had been in the previous year when foreign blocks were in short supply. Even though groundfish catches were poor, shore-side processors utilizing imported fish had a fairly successful year. Production of frozen fish sticks was about the same as in 1958, however, the production of fish portions jumped sharply. Good demand for fish sticks, fish portions, and other packaged products kept many shore workers em- ployed. The frozen blocks of groundfish fillets used in the production of fish sticks and portions came almost entirely from imports. In 1959, the domestic production of groundfish fillets and steaks amounted to only 91 million pounds valuedat 24.7 milliondollars -- the lowest since 1943. Despite the low domestic production, supplies of groundfish fillets and steaks (domestic products plus imports) totaled an unprecedented 276 million pounds. Imports reached a record high of 185 million pounds and accounted for 67 percent of the total domestic supply. Foreign competition gained afurther advantage over the domestic industry in 1959 when the United States Customs Court of New York ruled that all fish blocks or slabs in an immediate container totaling in excess of 15 pounds were dutiable under Paragraph 720 (b) instead of Paragraph 717 (b) of the TariffAct. Since then, imported frozen fish blocks or slabs have been dutiable at 1 cent per pound. Previously, these items were dutiable at 1 7/8 or 2 1/2 cents per pound. The 117 million pound catch of sea herring in Maine was 54 million pounds less than in 1958 which was the largest production since 1950. Imports into the State from Canada totaled nearly 65 million pounds, 26 million pounds more than in the previous year. Canners used most of the domestically caught and imported sea herring to pack 1.8 million cases of sardines, the third lightest pack since 1941. It was thought that poor spawning and survival conditions were responsible for the short domestic supply of herring. In addition to the scarcity, many of the fish were too large for canning. Several canners closed early rather than handle the large fish, and more plants closed when the fall run of more desirable fish failed to appear. However, the reduced catches strengthened ‘the market by preventing a build up of canned stocks. This permitted stabilizing prices at a rather high level. Although the pack of canned sardines was down 17 percent, the value declined only 6 percent. Canners attributed a part of the increased price to the joint State-Industry cooperative inspection program whichresulted in improved quality of the pack. Gains were made during 1959 in the industrial fishery by producers of fish meals, oils, andanimal foods. Landings of trawl-caught industrial fish were slightly less than in 1958, however, an increase of nearly 39 million pounds in the catch of menhaden established the total catch of industrial fish at a figure above that of the previous year. In the years since World War II, the fishery has become an important part of the New England fishery economy. Late in 1959 there was a drastic break in the world fish meal and soluble market which caused prices to decline sharply. Production was curtailed by the closing of plants due to depressed market conditions brought about by a record 1959 United States catch of menhaden, heavy imports of fish meal, and a falling off in the demand for these products from the live-stock and poultry industries. Year-end inventories were high and producers experienced difficulty in moving stocks even at re- duced prices. The sea scallop industry enjoyed a successful year with record landings of sea NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES scallop meats (20 million pounds valued at nearly 10 million dollars). Average prices paid were about the same as in the previous year. The productive scallop grounds were located on Georges Bank. It was reported that the mollusks were so plentiful at times that a five to ten minute tow would fill the dredges. Many trips of 11 to 12 thousand pounds of scallop meats were taken in only three-days fishing time. During 1959 considerable progress was made in establishing a New England tuna fishery. Eight years earlier in 1951 a New England bluefin tuna fishing project was in- itiated by the Bureau to determine the feasibility of establishing a commercial tuna fish- ing industry in the New Englandregion. This species is known to appear in commercial numbers off the New England Coast andrecent studies by the Bureau's exploratory fish- ing vessel, Delaware, revealed that bluefin tuna are abundant in the ocean southeast of New England. Although for many years no extensive organized effort had been made to exploit this New England coastal resource, it has been subjected to local fishing by small boats and pound nets. Previous fishing by purse seiners on a basis approaching commercial production was carried on during the summers of 1938, 1939, and 1940. Sponsored by or in cooperation with the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, the purse seiners, Western Explorer in 1951 andthe Western Pride in 1953, engaged in tuna fishing off the New England Coast. By 1954, it had been established that bluefin tuna could be taken in commercial quantities during the summer months with purse seine or long-line gear. The Bureau offered to lend fishermen necessary fishing gear and provide technical advice for fishing tuna, providing that records of the catches, and other pertinent infor- mation be made available to the public. However, the resource was untapped until 1958 when a Provincetown, Massachusetts fisherman: with a medium otter trawler, Silver Mink, became interested inthe project and accepted the Bureau's offer. During the first season of operation, catches of suffi- cient size by purse seine were made which indicated the commercial feasibility of this fishery. During 1958, a total of 179 tons of bluefin tuna were landed. The Silver Mink recommenced the cooperative tuna seining operation in 1959 again using the Bureau- owned equipment. Approximately 750 tons were taken during the season. The success of this venture prompted other vessels to borrow Bureau long-line gear and experiment in the fishery. Two small vessels and one larger vessel were quite successful on the few trips made. Since then some New England plants and vessel owners have indicated an interest in canning tuna if a commercial fishery developed in New England. The ex- tent of the commercial bluefin tuna resource available to the New England fishing industry has yet to be thoroughly evaluated. However, it was believed that an expanded tuna fishery could contribute substantially to the economy of the area. One of the more serious problems in the New England fisheries is the lack of new vessel construction. In 1959 there were notenough vessels constructed to provide nec- essary replacements to keep the fleets in first-class condition. New Bedford's scallop fleet was the only major fishery active in new vessel constructions. Vessel owners in most other New England fisheries claimed that the lack of profit in present operations and high construction costs, made replacement of vessels highly speculative. The loan fund, authorized by the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, was used in 1959 by owners of 14 vessels who received loans of nearly 302 thousand dollars. The Federal Government and other organizations took action in 1959 which could be expected to assist the New England fishing industry in various ways. The use ofan antibiotic to aidin keeping fresh-caught fish and shellfish in sound condition was author- ized by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. The State of Massachusetts approved NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES a law to regulate the storage and transportation of all types of frozen foods, including fishery products. This law was modeled after a code approved by the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States. The Governor of Massachusetts recom- mended the establishment of an advisory commission on marine fisheries to design pro- grams to assist commercial fisheries of that State. The seafood merchandising clinic for retail stores was conducted again in 1959 by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and the U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. The Bureau's Technological Laboratory and office building in Gloucester, Massa- chusetts, was completed in 1959. The more modern laboratory facilities enabled tech- nologists to better carry on their work. Among the activities carried on by the staff during 1959 were: development of standards for grading fishery products; tests with refrigerated sea water for holding fresh whiting; further tests on sanitary methods for unloading vessels; methods to detect bones in fishery products; and assistance in the development ofa frozen food code. All of these programs were designed to improve the quality of New England fishery products. The new Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, was nearly completed at the end of 1959. The new headquarters will provide improved facilities for the Bureau's fishery research biologists in their investi- gations of the North Atlantic fisheries. As in previous years, the research program of the Laboratory during 1959 was directed primarily towards problems associated with groundfish and sea scallops upon which much of the New England fishing industry de- pends. Major investigations have centered around cod, haddock, ocean perch, whiting, flounders, and species taken in the industrial trawl fishery. Shellfish research was primarily devoted to attacking the problems of control of injurious predators such as green crabs, oyster drills, channeled whelks, and starfish; location of new sources and methods of collection of clam and oyster seed; and the development of artificial propagation methods. The research vessel, Albatross III, which the Bureau has operated sporadically since 1948, was deactivated early in 1959. The advanced age of the vessel and re- sulting high maintenance costs made it uneconomical to operate further. Plans were made to replace it with a modern research vessel. Until the Laboratory acquires a new vessel, the research program at sea will be conducted on the Bureau's trawler, Delaware, and on chartered commercial vessels. The Bureau's exploratory fishing staff in 1959 conducted a number of trips on the Delaware exploring new grounds andtesting new types of gear. Successful development and testing of air-bubble equipment designed to direct sea herring (sardines) from areas inaccessible to conventional gear into accessible areas where the fish could be caught easily was carried on in Maine waters. Experiments with electrical fishing were con- ducted and underwater television was employed to test the results of the experiments on gear usage. The staff also gave considerable technical advice to fishermen on tuna fishing by long line and purse seine in addition to lending gear. The Bureau's fishing vessel safety program for New England fishing vessels broughtresults in1959. Demon- strations of various safety equipment were conducted at many ports. The program is designed to aid the industry in removing hazards and unsafe conditions, which will ulti- mately lead to lower insurance rates on New England's fishing vessels. The Bureau appreciates the assistance of the following organizations in the collect- ion of the data appearing inthis section: The Maine Department of Sea and Shore Fish- 593122 O- 61-6 79 NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES eries; the New Hampshire Fish andGame Department; the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries; the Rhode Island Department of Agri- culture and Conservation; Division of Fish and Game; the Connecticut State Board of Fisheries and Game; and the Connecticut State Shell Fish Commission. The following tables contain summarized and detailed information on the 1959 oper- ating units and catch of fisheries in the New England States. Condensed summary data on the operating units and catch by States of the New England area, appearing on the following pages, have been previously publishedin Current Fishery Statistics No. 2260.

These craft fished nearly 781 days in areas off Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, on the Grand Banks, and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They were absent from port for 3,573 days and completed 271 fishing trips. Production from areas on the Grand Banks by Maine vessels amounted to over 30 million pounds or 56 percent ofthe total Maine catch from the high seas off the Cana- dian Coast. Fishing banks off Nova Scotia yielded about 16 million pounds or 30 per- cent. Areas in the Gulfof St. Lawrence accounted for7 million pounds or 14 percent. Catches from other areas were negligible. The quantities shown in the following tables represent the actual weights of the landings. The landings are not directly comparable with the catch figures shown in other tables in this Digest. The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, in cooperation with the Maine Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries, collects and compiles monthly and annual data on the landings of fish and shellfish. This information is published in the monthly bulletin Maine Landings which is in the Current Fishery Statistics series of reports issued by the Bureau. Two annual summaries of Maine Landings were published for 1959. One listed the catch by months (Current Fishery Statistics No. 2251) and the other listed the catch by gear and county (Current Fishery Statistics No. 2256). A summary of data on Maine landings by species and months were included in previous Digests. This information has been omitted from this report.

Detailed statistics are collected and published monthly and annually on these landings. Additional detailed tabulations are prepared for the use of Bureau and State scientists and the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheties. The data represents 98 percent of the total Massachu- setts catch. A summary of 1959 data on Massachusetts landings by ports and by gear and area of capture is contained in the following tables. The quantities shown represent the actual weights ofthe landings. The landings are not directly comparable with the catch figures shown in other tables in this Digest. Information covering landings at indi- vidual ports were published in Statistical Digests prior to 1959. These have been omitted from this report. Landings by fishing craft of all sizes at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, and certain other Massachusetts ports in 1959 amounted to approximately 501 million pounds valued at nearly 37 million dollars ex-vessel. These landings were about 15 million pounds or 3 percent above those of the previous year. The value of the land- ings was about the same. During 1959, receipts at Gloucester accounted for 46 per- cent of the total poundage and 19 percent of the total value. Boston was second both in poundage (23 percent) and value (31 percent). New Bedford ranked third in volume with 22 percent, but first invalue (43 percent). Landings at other Messachusetts ports made up the remaining 9 percent in quantity and 7 percent in value. At Boston, landings (113 million pounds) continued to show the downward trend that has been so apparent during the past few years. Ex-vessel prices were generally lower than in the previous year. Haddock continued to be the principal species taken by the Boston fleet. However, the fish, particularly scrod-size haddock on George's and Brown's Banks, were scarce in 1959. Catches of haddock by the Boston fleet were about 9 million pounds below that of the previous year, and the lowest annual produc- tion during the past decade. Landings at Gloucester were greater than at any other Massachusetts port. The volume landed was slightly below that of 1958. The ex-vessel value of the catch was down 11 percent. Landings of ocean perch -- the principal item taken by Gloucester fishermen -- amounted to 58 million pounds in 1959. The catch was nearly 17 million pounds less thanin 1958 and the lowest since 1940. There was a big drop in the catch of this species from local waters -- particularly large-size fish which were indemand. Ocean-perch trawlers made fewer trips in 1959. Many of these vessels turned to other fisheries for income. They were influenced by low prices and the small size of ocean perch. Landings of species taken in the industrial trawl fishery were less than in 1958. However, menhaden were abundant once again in New England waters. Asa result, the total catch of industrial fish was well above that taken in 1958. Landings at New Bedford, following the trend set at Boston and Gloucester, were less than in 1958. However, due to record-breaking landings of sea scallop meats (nearly 19 million pounds valued at 9 million dollars) the total value ofthe New Bedford landings was about 2 million dollars above that of 1958. The value of New Bedford landings (16 million dollars) was greater than for any other New England port. It was exceeded only by the amount paid for the catch landed at San Pedro, California. Fishing grounds off the New England coast yielded nearly 419 million pounds or 84 percent of all Massachusetts landings reported on a current basis in 1959. Re- ceipts from banks off Nova Scotia amounted to 71 million pounds; Grand Banks, 6 mil- lion pounds; and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 4 million pounds. About 1 million pounds were taken in waters off the Middle Atlantic States. Of the total landings at Massa- chusetts ports, 83 percent were taken by otter trawl; 10 percent by purse seines; 4 percent by scallop dredges; and the remaining 3 percent by lines, harpoons, pound nets and traps, and gill nets. 107 NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES Apung Jo feg -N S Apumy jo feg Su BT}OOS BAON “NO sumolg utlezsey gd BT}O9S BACN *S O @aeHE] % SUMOIG “GN yueg eLletd “4S g syueg PUeID “N's C

SECTION 3 - MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES The 1959 catch of fishand shellfishin the coastal areas of the Middle Atlantic States (New York, New Jersey, and Delaware) amounted to 760 million pounds valued at nearly 23 million dollars to the fishermen. Although the volume landed was above that of the previous year, it was well below the 1957 and 1956 production. The value of the catch was the lowest since 1944. Had it not been for increases in the catches of menhaden and surf clams, landings would have been lower than in 1958. The decline in value was due primarily to sharply reduced production of oysters. The catch of northern lobsters and surf clams established new records in 1959 while the landings of cod were the heaviest since 1939. New Jersey witha catchof 359 million pounds led the Middle Atlantic States in volume, accounting for 47 percent of the total catch. Delaware (286 million pounds) was in second place with 38 percent, followed by New York (115 million pounds) with 15 percent. There were 8,181 fishermen engagedin the Middle Atlantic fisheries in 1959. Com- mercial fishing craft operating in these states during the year consisted of 582 vessels of 5 net tons and over, 3,002 motor boats, and 630 other boats. Manufactured fishery products were produced by 508 establishments in 1959, a few more than in the previous year. These firms gave employment to almost 9 thousand persons, Fishery products manufactured by these firms were valued at over 75 million dollars -- about 2 milliondollars less than in1958. This was due mainly to a decrease in the pro- duction of shucked oysters, and fish and shellfish specialities. The Middle Atlantic area leads the country in production of smoked fish and is one of the largest producing areas for fish meal and oil. About 80 different species of fish and shellfish were taken commercially in the Middle Atlantic States in 1959. Of these, menhaden continued to be the most valuable aquatic resource accounting for 86 percentof the volume and 33 percent of the value of the catch. Although menhaden landings in 1959 were heavier than in 1958, production was well below the previous six-year average. Pound=-net catches of menhaden were up sharply resulting in a significant increase in volume taken by this type of gear. The catchby otter trawls -- just slightly under the catch reported in 1958 -- was about average forthis gear. However, the fish pot fishery in the Middle Atlantic area declined in 1959 as the catch of sea bass, mainstay of this operation, fell toless than 2 million pounds -- about 343 thousand pounds less thanin 1958. The fish-meal industry, utilizing menhaden as a raw material, was adversely affected late in 1959 by a depressed market and high inventories due to record meal production and highimports. Prospects of continued heavy imports and depressed meal prices caused producers to be disturbed about the future of the industry. The Middle Atlantic oyster fishery in 1959 experienced the most critical situation of its long history. Production was at an all-time low yielding only 1.4 million pounds of oyster meats valued at 1.3 million dollars -- farless than the 18 million-pound production (valued at nearly 10 million dollars) taken only 9 years earlier in 1950. Since that year the volume of oysters taken from Middle Atlantic waters has declined steadily. Since 1957 the drop has been very sharp for areas in Long Island Sound, Great South Bay, and Delaware Bay. The heavy oyster setting in Long Island Sound in 1958 did not significantly increase the oyster resources -- oyster drills and starfish killed most of the young soon after they MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES had set. It has been many years since satisfactory setting and survival of seed oysters has occurred generally throughout the seed producing areas of Long Island Sound. Low spawn survival, shortages of seed, destructive predators, poor growing conditions, and heavy oyster mortality threatened to wipe out the industry. The Delaware Bay oyster fishery in 1959 was the poorest in recent years. There were heavy losses of market oysters in this area in 1957, 1958, and 1959 from a destructive oyster blight which appeared in the spring of 1957. As aresult, oyster operations in Delaware Bay were nearly at astandstill. Late in 1959 it was announced that an organism tentatively identified as a Haplosporidian had been discovered in oysters from Delaware Bay. Experiments were begun to determine if the oyster mortalities were caused by this organism. Biologists noted that certain stocks of oysters were more resistant than others to the mortality and suggested the possibility of developing strains of oysters that would be immune or resistant to the disease. Cooperative efforts among industry, the states, and the Federal Government resulted in developing a comprehensive program of coordinated research on the problem of oyster mortality. It lends hope that in due time the problem will be solved and that this important segment of the fishing industry will be rehabilitated. The Bureau acknowledges andis grateful for the assistance of the following organi- zations in the collection of the data appearing in this section: The New York Conservation Department; the Division of Fish andGame andthe Division of Shell Fisheries of the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development; and the University of Delaware Marine Research Laboratory and the Delaware Commission of Shell Fisheries, 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. 2439. Seasonal variation in the catch of fish and shellfishin the New York Marine District and in New Jersey can be ascertained from monthly and annual landings bulletins issued for these States in cooperation with the fish- ing agency of each state.

The 1959 catch was up 12 percent in volume and 8 percent in value compared with the 1958 catch. The average price per pound to the fishermen was somewhat less than in 1958. In 1959 there were 234 fishermen employed in the Hudson River shad fishery -- 2 per- cent more than operated during the previous year. Statistics on the 1959 operating units and catch of shad in the HudsonRiver by New York and New Jersey fishermen are included in the operating unit and catch for these States.

Com- pared with 1958, the poundage of shad increased 12 percent and the value, 9 percent. The 1959 catch of alewives in the Potomac River totaled 16.5 million fish weighing nearly 7.3 million pounds valued at approximately 110 thousand dollars. This repre- sented a decrease of 17 percent in poundage and 11 percent in value compared with the previous year's catch. During 1959 there were 625 fishermen employed in this fishery, compared with 495 fishermen in 1958. Statistics on the yield and operating units of shad and alewives in the Potomac River are also includedin the catch andoperating unit data for Virginia and Maryland.

Compared with the previous year, this represented an increase of 93 million pounds or 25 percent in volume while the value of the catch was 1 million dollars or 6 percent below that of 1958. It was the second consecutive year the value of fish and shellfish landings declined in the South Atlantic States. In- creased volume was due primarily to larger landings of menhaden, shrimp, crabs, and oysters. During 1959, a total of 14,188 fishermen operated in the South Atlantic area compared with 15,004 during the previous year. The number of vessels of five net tons and over operating in this area increased from 1189 in 1958 to 1219 in 1959. There were 484 fishery wholesaling and manufacturing establishments in the South Atlantic States compared with 487 in 1958. These firms gave employment to nearly 9 thousand persons. Fishery products manufactured by these firms were valued at over 40 million dollars -- adecline of 1.7 million dollars when compared with 1958. A decline in the value of breaded shrimp accounted for most of the loss.. North Carolina led all the South Atlantic States in volume, accounting for 73 per- cent of the total landings. Florida (East Coast) was next with 17 percent followed by South Carolina and Georgia with5 percent each. Florida (East Coast) with a 65 percent increase led all other states in percentage gains over the previous year. South Carolina was next witha 45 percent gain, followed by North Carolina with 18 percent and Georgia with 8 percent. The menhaden catch of almost 331 million pounds was 86 million pounds or 35 per- cent greater thanin 1958. The successful season is attributed chiefly to improved tech- niques in fishing and better weather conditions during the fishing season. The power block was more extensively used and electrodes were employed in getting the fish to the pumping nozzles, thereby saving a great deal of time in loading the catch. The ex- cellent fall weather not only aided the fishermen but gave the spotter planes more flying days to assist the crews in locating fish with maximum speed. In North Carolina, where most of the fish are taken in November and December, the usual late season had a more adverse effect on the economy of the menhaden industry. Producers in that state encountered a sharp decline in fish meal prices which began in the fall and continued a steady trend downward to the end of the year. The 1959 catch of shellfish in the South Atlantic States (almost 70 million pounds valuedat 10 million dollars) increased 12 percent in volume but decreased 8 percent in value. The gain in volume resulted from increased landings of shrimp, oysters, and crabs. The decrease in value was largely the result of a sharp decline in the value of shrimp. The shrimp industry suffereda rather severe economic reversal in 1959 despite in- creased landings. While the total volume of shrimp landed in the South Atlantic States was 15 percent greater than in 1958, there was nevertheless a decline in both volume and value in two of the South Atlantic States, Georgia and the East Coast of Florida. North Carolina's increased landings were the result of the unexplained comeback of brown shrimp after the disastrous|seasonin 1958. Landings in North Carolina were more than twice those of 1958. Despite increased landings, the price decline which was felt generally throughout the shrimp industry, drastically reduced the dockside average price per pound. SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES Crab fishermen experienced avery good year. The volume of crabs landed increased 9 percent while the value was up 14 percent. Some of the increase in landings resulted from more effort as fishermen turned from shrimping tocrabbing. There also was a short- age of crabs in Chesapeake Bay during 1959 which helped bolster the demand for crabs and crabmeat from the more southern states. The trend towards fishing with pots con- tinued through 1959 as the number of pots usedincreased in all South Atlantic States. The use of trot lines decreased in every state except Florida where its use remained practically unchanged. The average price per pound for the picked crabmeat increased 5 cents per pound over the previous year. The oyster fishery was another bright spot in the South Atlantic fisheries during 1959. The volume of oysters harvested increased by 33 percent while the value increased 36 percent. Only in South Carolina did the dockside price remain unchanged. Some of the increase in volume of oysters taken was attributed to the decline in shrimp prices causing shrimp fishermen to augment their incomes with oystering after the end of the shrimp season. However, in North Carolina, some of the success was credited to the Department of Conservation and Development for its planting program since the increase in volume came from the publicreefs. With the increase in landings came a correspond- ing increase in the quantity of oysters shucked (30 percent more in 1959 than in the previous year). Producers received an average of $5.65 per gallon for shucked oysters in 1959 compared with $4.96, the previous year. The mullet fishery of the South Atlantic remained in a rather static condition. The volume declined less than 1 percent while the value decreased 14 percent. The mullet season in North and South Carolina is usually limited to about 2 months in the fall of the year, a condition which tends to create a market glut with a subsequent famine. This has resulted in more and more customers switching to fillets of other species be- cause of the unsteady mullet supply. The condition of the mullet fishery andthe plight of the fishermen engaged in taking these fish continued to be one of the industry's un- solved problems. The annual mullet catchof 45 to 50 million pounds could be increased many million pounds if a market could be provided. The Southeastern Fisheries Association, representing fish producers in Georgia and Florida, listed the following needs of the fishing industry of the South Atlantic as most urgent: (1) New fishing grounds for shrimp. (2) Better conservation practices for both shrimp and fish. (3) New markets for fish. (4) Ways of coping with serious estuarine problems. (5) Steady growth of seafood imports. The fishing vessel, Donald Ray, sank off the North East Coast of Florida on March 8, 1957, with a loss of all aboardafter having been sighted by the Coast Guard in a sink- ing condition. Subsequently, survivors of the lost crew members fileda suit in Federal Court charging negligence on the part of the Coast Guard in the rescue work of this vessel. On June 25, 1959, a Federal judge in Jacksonville, Florida awarded the sur- vivors of these fishermen 169,042 dollars. The decision was deemed important to fish- ermen since it indicated that the actions of the Coast Guard can be subject to review and judgment in a Federal Court. The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries survey vessel, Silver Bay, made an important discovery off North Carolina when productive calico scallop beds were located east of Core Banks. Production of this species was begun in 1959; however, the quantity taken SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES was small. Adecline in sea scallop prices at New Bedford, problems relating to calico scallops, and the development of a market for a new product were chiefly responsible for the failure to more fully exploit this resource. The Bureau gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following organizations in the collection of the data appearing in this section: The North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development, Division of Commercial Fisheries; South Carolina Wildlife Resources Department, Division of Commercial Fisheries; Georgia Game and Fish Commission, Coastal Fisheries Division; and Florida State Board of Conservation and Marine Laboratory, University of Miami. Condensed summary data of the operating units andcatch of the South Atlantic area appearing on the following pages have been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2369. Seasonal variation in the catch of fish and shellfish in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, andFlorida canbe ascertained from the 1959 monthly andannual landing bulletins issued for these four states in cooperation with the fishery agency in each state. Additional data on many aspects of the South Atlantic fisheries may be found in the daily, monthly, and annual reports published by the Hampton, Vir- ginia Market News Office of the Bureau.

Compared with the previous year, this was an increase of 15 percent in volume but a decline of 18 percent in value. Prices were down for all size categories of shrimp. The gain in volume resulted from sharply increased catches of brown and pink shrimp in North Carolina and white shrimp in South Carolina. Georgia led the South Atlantic States in the production of shrimp with landings of slightly more than 4.5 million pounds (heads-off), followed by South Carolina (nearly 4.5 million pounds), North Carolina (3.8 million pounds), and the East Coast of Florida (2.7 million pounds). White shrimp accounted for 54 percent of the catch followed by brown shrimp with 38 percent and pink shrimp, 8 percent. A small catch of royal red shrimp, amounting to 4 thousand pounds, was also landed. Shrimp with a heads-off count of 31-40 per pound predominated in the catch and accounted for 30 percent of the total, followed by 26-30 count with 18 percent, 21-25 count with 15 percent, and 41-50 count with 14 percent. Shrimp in the 15-20 count category accounted for only 4 percent of the South Atlantic catch. The remaining 19 percent was in sizes of over 50 per pound. The severe decline in prices paid fishermen for shrimp in 1959 sharply reduced earnings of the fleet. This wasreflectedincurtailed construction of new vessels. Only 76 vessels, principally shrimp trawlers, received first documents as fishing craft in the South Atlantic States in 1959 compared with 135 the previous year. The quantities shown in the following tables are based on the heads-off weight of the shrimp and are not directly comparable with the volume data published in the General Review, regional tables, or the Review of Certain Major Fisheries, which) represent the round weight of the catch. The pounds of heads-off shrimp may be converted to heads- on weight by multiplying by 1.68. The commonnames of the species used in these tables are as follows: BrownShrimp (Penaeus aztecus); Pink Shrimp (Penaeus duorarum); White Shrimp (Penaeus setiferus); and Royal Red Shrimp (Hymenopenaeus robustus) . Information on the landings of shrimp in the South Atlantic States contained in the following tables has previously been published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2291. Monthly data on landings of shrimp in the Gulf States by species, size, volume, and landed value in each state; the number of fishing trips; days fished; and the catch by area, depth, and size of shrimp are included in Section 6 of this Digest.

This represented an increase of 346 million pounds or 43 percent in volume, but a decline of 8.9 million dollars or 10 percent in value compared with 1958. Louisiana again led all other States in the volume of the catch. The State also recorded the largest increase over the previous year. Texas was in first place with respect to value. Landings at ports in Louisiana increased by more than 228 million pounds or 72 percent. Larger landings also occurred in Texas where the catch increased 41 percent, in Alabama with a 36 percent increase, and a gain in Mississippi of 23 percent. Landings at West Coast of Florida ports registered only a 4percent gain over the previous year. The catch of menhaden and shrimp -- the volume and value crops of the Gulf fisheries -- was chiefly responsible for the increase. Louisiana accounted for 47 percent of the total Gulf landings. Mississippi was next with 22 percent, followed by Texas with 18 percent; the West Coast of Florida, 12 percent; and Alabama, 1 percent. During 1959 there were 737 fishery wholesaling and manufacturing establishments in the Gulf area that gave employment to about 16 thousand persons. Fishery products produced by these firms were valued at 123 million dollars -- about 6 million dollars less than in the previous year. A decline in the value of canned and packaged shrimp resulted in the loss. Favorable weather and the availability of fish at a time when they could be taken contributed to the record production. While there was an increase in rainfall over the previous year along most of the Gulf Coast, only one hurricane developed during 1959. This occurred on July 25 when Deborah struck the Texas Coast west of Galveston, causing some damage and interrupting fishing activities for several days. Four tropical storms with the accompanying heavy rainfall only temporarily halted fishing activities and were perhaps more helpful than destructive. The added rainfall was undoubtedly beneficial to oyster growth. There were no serious freezes during the year and the winter northers were no more severe than usual. The shrimp industry sufferedits most severe reversal in years, and though landings increased 12 percent, the value decreased 21 percent. Percentage-wise, Mississippi registered the largest gain in volume -- up 75 percent over the previous year while the valued declined 1 percent. The unusually large run of brown shrimp offHornIslandin the early summer contributed most of the 1959 catch. The small size of the shrimp adversely affected prices, as did the unusually heavy landings occurring over the short season, and a generally declining shrimp market. The canning industry which normally uses large quantities of the smaller shrimp experienced some difficulty in moving the canned pack. Thisresultedinlessening demand and further price declines. Brown shrimp were unusually plentiful all along the upper middle Gulf Coast during 1959. Alabama, Louisi- ana, and Texas fared very well volume-wise. However, fishermen suffered severely as the average price of shrimp landed declined substantially below the 1958 average. Declining prices, caused by heavy imports, and landings of more than usual amounts of small shrimp contributed to the depressed condition. Florida fishermen suffered least from declining prices but were, nevertheless, in dire straits resulting from both a decrease in volume and value. Florida was the only Gulf State in which both the vol- ume and the value decreased. The Tortugas and Apalachicola grounds were less pro- ductive in1959thanin 1958. Since the heaviest production from the Tortugas area comes GULF FISHERIES in the first five months of each year, the bulk of Florida's landings occurred before the onset of the serious decline in prices. Had the bulk of the landings in that State occurred later in the year, as was the case in the remainder of the Gulf States, the depressed condition would have been more severe. A condition of decreased earnings also existed in Louisiana, Texas, and Alabama, although to varying degrees of severity. Louisiana normally produces a large percentage of small shrimp and 1959 was no exception. As in Mississippi, the canning industry in Louisiana utilized large quantities of the small shrimp. However, with declining canned sales at a time when the canners normally operate at full capacity, production was reduced and price declines occurred all along the line from the boat to the finished product. The very heavy run of small brown shrimp occurred from about May 15 to June 30. Despite low prices, the catch in this period was so great that many boats and vessels faredvery well. However, the season on inshore waters is short, and offshore catches were not sufficiently large to offset the substantial price decline. The fall run of white shrimp was short of expectations. However, the shrimp were above average in size and more readily marketable than the smaller-sized brown shrimp landed in the spring and summer. The Texas shrimp industry also suffered a rather severe economic setback. The height of the season occurred during the period beginning inJuly and ending with October. The general price decline in the shrimp industry gathered momentum as the year pro- gressed and the fall production of large brown shrimp was marketed at much lower prices thaninthe preceeding year. The 1959 average price of the Texas catch of shrimp at the vessel level was 12 cents per pound lower than in 1958. With catches light on the Tortugas grounds, many of the Florida vessels and firms transferred activities to Texas, locating principally in Freeport and Aransas Pass. This resulted in very heavy prose- cution of the adjacent fishing grounds. The canning industry experienced some difficulty in moving the 1958 pack of shrimp -- resulting in a more cautious approach to the 1959 season. For example, Mississippi, with a75 percent increase in its landings of shrimp, canned only 8 percent more shrimp in 1959 than in the previous year. The total Gulf pack was 7 percent below the amount packed in 1958 while the value declined 23 percent. The menhaden industry experienced somewhat the same conditions as the shrimp industry. Landings totaled a record 752 million pounds, an increase of 70 percent over the previous year. However, the value of the catch increased only 46 percent. The record catch in 1959 was due to favorable weather and the unusual availability of the fish. The bumper catch resulted in storage problems for the meal and oil as prices de- clined late in the season. In addition to a record domestic production of fish meal and solubles, there were large imports of these products which created serious marketing problems. Industry members urged the government to place some restrictions on the imports of fish meal. The oyster industry fared somewhat better than the shrimp and menhaden industries. Landings increased 32 percent in volume and 27 percent in value compared with 1958. Despite large increases in the volume of landings, the average price per pound paid fishermen for oyster meats held up well and was only 1 cent per pound less than in 1958. Texas oystermen did not fare as well price-wise as those inother Gulf States. Unusually heavy landings of more than a million pounds in Texas, up 354 percent compared with the previous year, were more than the industry could cope with, resulting in a price de- cline. Texas reefs, that had not been productive in years, suddenly began to yield 203 GULF FISHERIES large catches of very fine oysters. Increased rainfall and run-off of rivers along the Texas Coast are credited with much of the volume increase. The decline in the average price in Texas was offset by increases in Florida and Alabama. Most of the increase in the oyster production along the Gulf went into the shucking houses to be sold as fresh oysters which were up 63 percent in volume and 60 percent in value. Dealers averaged $5.88 per gallon in 1959 compared with nearly $6.00 per gallon in 1958. The oyster canneries in Mississippi produced only about half as many canned oysters in 1959 as in 1958. The decline can be atiributed in part to the rather strict enforce- ment of the culling law on Louisiana's natural reefs where Mississippi normally obtains most of its canning stock. As oysters were less than the legal size of three inches across the shell, the State of Louisiana didnot permit taking them. However, Missis- sippi fishermen harvested a very good crop of oysters from the Pass Christian Reef. The blue crab fishery was fairly prosperous during 1959. Catches were greater in all Gulf States exceptAlabama where landings declined about 100 thousand pounds below the quantity produced in 1958. The scarcity of crabs in Chesapeake Bay undoubtedly benefited the Gulf industry. The increase in production was the result of more intensive fishing since the use of crab pots increased 50 percent and trot lines, 2 percent. Pro- duction of picked crabmeat increased by 21 percent in both volume and value. The mullet fishery along the Florida West Coast continued to experience difficulties. The catch in this area declined 2 million pounds (6 percent), while the value declined 308 thousand dollars or 15 percent. This fishery is prosecuted by numerous individual fishermen in small craft and has been in severe economic difficulties for a number of years. The condition seems to grow steadily worse each year. While stocks of fish are plentiful, there have been no new methods of catching the fish, nor has processing and packaging kept pace with modern marketing trends. The plight of mullet fishermen is one of the great unsolved problems of the fishing industry. A number of species make up the principal market fishes for the local population along the Gulf Coast. Some of the more important of these are the red drum, sea trout, spanish mackerel, and red snapper. Red drum and spotted sea trout are inshore or littoral fishes. The former increased in volume by 24 percent, while the sea trout fish- ery yielded 4 percent less fish in 1958. The red snapper fishery has been rather stable for a number of years despite adecline inthe regular snapper fleet. The catch has been maintained by shrimp vessel crews who hand line for the fish during the off season. Small snappers are also taken by shrimp trawlers in increasing quantities, incidental to shrimp operations. The spiny lobster fishery along the Southern part of Florida experienced a rather good year. The catchof lobsters increased 13 percent in volume and 19 percent in value. The catch, however, was not made without some difficulty. Fishermen used 45 percent more pots in 1959 than in the preceeding yearand the average catch per pot declined 22 percent. Market prices of this species -- while somewhat stable -- were, never- theless, influenced by the quantity arriving at Southern Florida ports from the nearby Bahamas, Industrial dredging activities along the Gulf Coast continued at an unabated pace in 1959. During the year dredging was begun on the Gulf Outlet Ship Channel from New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico. When completed, the channel will save the shipping industry many miles in its route to the Gulf of Mexico. Simultaneously, the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries began an exten- sive study of the changes occurring in the area as a result of the dredging activities. GULF FISHERIES Other dredging activities were underway at Port Mansfield, Port Lavaca, and Victoria, Texas; Perdido Bay, Alabama, and numerous points in South Central Florida. A renewed effort by certain interests in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, to obtain a ship channel from the West Bank of the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico through Barataria met with considerable opposition from wildlife andfisheries interests. The proposed route would cross some of the more important oyster producing and shrimp nursery grounds in the State of Louisiana. The Gulf State Marine Fisheries Commission, in its annual spring meeting, de- voted most of the session toa discussion of the present state of knowledge of the import- ant shrimp fishery. In general, biologists of the five Gulf States agreed that small juvenile shrimp should be protected in the inside waters; size limits on both brown and white shrimp be abolished; and night fishing for both brown and white shrimp be permitted in all waters during open season. The fall meeting of the Commission was devoted to coordinating the estuarine work on the Gulf Coast and to the question of advisability of disposal of atomic wastes in the Gulf of Mexico. Speakers emphasized the need for monitoring waste disposal and suggested strict control by a single govern- mentagency. It was pointed out that laboratory studies should be made of the physical and biological environment designed as a disposal site. The discussion was precip- itated by requests for disposal sites in the Gulf of Mexico. The Texas Legislature passeda newlaw during the spring session designed to con- serve the shrimp fishery. Offshore territorial waters were closed during the month of July and more stringent regulations were imposedonthe taking of shrimp in inside waters. The State of Louisiana began construction on its new laboratory at Grand Terre, Louisiana. The decline in the catch of fresh-water crayfish resulted in the state legis- lature appropriating ten thousand dollars for an investigation of the cause of the decline and to determine if a closed season is necessary. The Bureau's Technological Laboratory at Pascagoula, Mississippi devoted most of its efforts to developing new products from local fishes and to analyzing the industrial fishery landings for the local pet food industry. The laboratory staff also devoted some time to perfecting a process to prevent discoloration in canned sea bobs. The Division of Biological Research continued to study the factors affecting the shrimp population. Studies on migration and growth by staining shrimp was effected in part of the Western Gulf and an extensive study of the biometrics of shrimp was under- taken. Condensed summary data on operating units and catch by States appearing on the following pages have been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics bulletin No. 2435.

This was a decrease of 223 million pounds and 19 million dollars compared with the previous year. Sharply reduced catches of salmon, sardines, and tuna were responsible for the decline in both volume and value. Items taken in considerably greater volume than in 1958 included halibut, jack and Pacific mackerel, sea herring, king crabs, and shrimp. California (525 million pounds) accounted for 50 percent of the Pacific Coast catch, followed by Alaska (323 million pounds), 30 percent; Washington (155 million pounds) 15 percent; and Oregon (52 million pounds), 5 percent. The catch was taken by 30,461 fishermen who operated 4,621 vessels of 5 net tons andover and10,511 smaller craft. Four types of gears accounted for nearly 90 percent of the PacificStates catch: purse seines, 42 percent; hook and lines, 27 percent; otter trawls, 12 percent; and gill nets, 8 percent. Crab pots, brails and scoops, harpoons, and oyster dredges accounted for most of the remainder. Nearly one-fourth of the Pacific Coast States catch was taken on the high seas off the coasts of foreign countries. Tuna taken off Central and South America; and bottom- fish, halibut, and salmon taken off British Columbia accounted for most of this catch. Since the species taken off foreign coasts consisted largely of higher-priced items, about 28 percent of the value of the Pacific Coast States catch was taken off foreign coasts. Largely as a result of the decline in the salmon-and sardine catches, the Pacific Coast States have failed to hold their relative position in the United States fisheries. During the peak years of both the salmon and sardine fisheries, from 1935 to 1939, the four Pacific Coast States accounted for an average of 56 percent of the total domestic catch; in 1959, only 21 percent of the catch was landed in these States. Salmon and tuna continued to dominate the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States. These fish accounted for 45 percent of the volume of the 1959 catch and 68 percent of the ex-vessel value tothe fishermen. The 1959 catch of salmon totaled only 202 million pounds, the smallest since the turn of the century. Landings in Alaska were down 39 percent compared with the previous year's poor production. Catches were also down in both Washington and Oregon. Only California showed an increase. In Alaska the operation of salmon fish traps (pound nets) was prohibited. This practically eliminated the taking of salmon by a type of gear that had taken a major por- tion of the catch for over three-quarters of a century. Traps had previously been pro- hibited in the other Pacific Coast States, except for a few fished by Indians on their reservations. In Alaska, also, special rights granted Indian tribal communities allowed a few traps to operate. The number of salmon pound nets, including floating traps, fished in Alaska dropped from 243 in 1958 to 14 in 1959, and the catch declined from 62 million to 2 million pounds. This sharpdecline was not, however, an important factor in the reduction in the total catch: Hadfish been present in normal numbers, other gears were available to take them, In 1959 Japanese gill net fishing for salmon on the high seas west of the provisional abstention line at 1759 west longitude did not appear to affect the Bristol Bay salmon to the extent it had in several previous years. Fewer fish showed net marks indicating that they had passed through Japanese gill nets. PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES On Puget Sound the odd-year pink run was the smallest for many years, but was dJarger than had been predicted. The catch of 13.6 million pounds was 3.7 million pounds less than the 1957 production. The brightest spot in an otherwise gloomy salmon pic- ture was the Puget Sound sockeye catch of 9.6 million pounds, only 30 percent as large as in the previous year but best of its cycle for many years. The Pacific Coast States salmon pack of 2,465,213 cases was the smallest since 1898 and was only 28 percent as large as the record pack canned in 1936. Despite a decline in the pack of mild-cured salmon on Puget Sound, where receipts of troll-caught chinook salmon were the lowest in many years, production in the Pacific Coast States amounted to over 6 million pounds, only slightly less than in 1958. A large increase in mild-curing operations in California and a gain in the Alaska pack were responsible for holding the pack at approximately the previous year's level. The tuna catch landed at ports in Washington, Oregon, and California during 1959 totaled 268 million pounds--a decline of 48 million pounds compared with the previous year, and 122 million pounds less than the record 390 million pounds landed in these States in 1950. The sharp decline was due primarily to a tie-up of tuna clippers (from May 1 to October 23) and the purse-seine fleet (May 1 to July 6) in ex-vessel price disagreements. In addition to disputes between vessel owners and packers concerning tuna prices, there were disagreements between vessel owners and crew members con- cerning crew shares. Theresulting tie-ups were the longest in the history of the fishery and were estimated to have resulted in a loss in a catch of about 20 thousand tons. Conversion of tuna clippers to purse-seiners was a major development in 1959. The rapid trend toward conversion was due to the success of converted clippers in taking capacity loads in 35 days or less, compared with an average of about 80 days per trip for the same vessels as clippers. At the end of the year, 15 converted clippers were in operation, with 20 in various stages of conversion. It was evident that the conversion of clippers to purse seiners, made possible by the development of the power block and large, strong, syntheticfiber seines, marked an important milestone in the domestic tuna fishery. There was a sharp increase in imports of frozen tuna, and cooked tuna loins and discs for canning in the United States--284 million pounds (round weight basis) com- pared with 234 million pounds in 1958--and an increase in imports of canned tuna. The 1959 domestic pack of cannedtuna amounted to 14.3 million standard cases, establish- ing a new record. Late in the year, a government-to-government meeting was held in Tokyo between representatives of the United States and Japan to discuss problems of the tuna industries in the two countries. Herring, with a catch of 114.7 million pounds, was the third most important item landed inthe Pacific Coast States in 1959. The catch, used largely in the manufacture of meal andoil, was about 15 million pounds more than in 1958. The increase resulted from a gain of 22 million pounds in the catch taken in Southeastern Alaska. Sardines were scarce in 1959 and California fishermen landed only 74 million pounds of the fish compared with 207 million pounds in 1958. Opening of the season in southern California was delayed until October 3 by an ex-vessel price dispute which was settled at 35 dollars per ton. Stocks of canned sardines were high at the beginning of 1959 and sales were sluggish during most of the year. However, as a result of the small 247 248 PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES pack of only 755 thousand cases compared with 2,223 thousand cases in 1958, supplies declined; and by the end of the year, the market was in considerably better shape than had been anticipated. Landings of both Pacific and jack mackerel were up sharply in 1959, with the catch of each species totaling about 37.5 million pounds. However, the landings were con- siderably below the average for these species. The ex-vessel price for both mackerels was at 50 dollars per ton during 1959. The pack of canned mackerel, amounting to 587 thousand standard cases, was 45 percent greater than in 1958 but was far below the 1954-1958 average of 756 thousand cases. The 1959 catch of crabs in the Pacific Coast States totaled55.9 million pounds -- slightly below the record 56 million pounds landed in 1957. The catch of king crabs in Alaska was a record 18.8 million pounds; however, production of Dungeness crabs (36.9 million pounds) was 5 million pounds less than in1958. The pack of canned crab- meat inthe Pacific Coast States totaled 109,891 standard cases, nearly 3 thousand cases lessthanin1958. The packof king crabmeat, however, was a record 55 thousand cases and, for the first time, the pack of this species exceeded that of Dungeness crabs. Shrimp landings were up sharply in Alaska in 1959, resulting in a record Pacific Coast catch of these shellfish. Total landings in the four States amounted to 20.7 million pounds, nearly 3 million pounds more than in 1958. Alaska accounted for over 60 percent of the catch. Landings were up in all States except Washington. The 1959 pack of canned shrimp in the Pacific Coast States totaled a record 169 thousand cases. The Pacific Coast catch of halibut in 1959 totaled a record 71.4 million pounds (landed weight). Of this catch, United States fishermen took 40.4 million pounds with Canadian fishermen accounting for the remainder. The record was made possible by the heavy production in area 3B, which exceeded the previous high year by nearly 6 million pounds. A total of 309 whales was taken in 1959 by five catcher vessels operated by the two whaling stations located in San Francisco Bay--48 more than in 1958. Whale products amounting to 11.4 million pounds were manufactured from the catch. The whale meat was utilized entirely for animal food, mostly for mink, with smaller quantities used for pet food. The blubber was reduced to oil and the bones ground for meal. The Calif- ornia plants were the only whaling stations operated in the United States. Manufactured fishery items produced in the Pacific CoastStates in 1959 were valued at 296 million dollars, far below the record 343 million dollars received by producers in 1958. The decline resulted from sharply reduced values of the packs of canned salmon, sardines, and tuna. Canned tuna, packed from domestically-caught and im- ported fish, valued at 133 million dollars to the canner was the principal item. Second was canned salmon, 72 million dollars, followed by canned sardines, 5 million dollars. These items accounted for over 70 percent of the value of manufactured products in the four States.

Compared with 1958 these landings represented an increase of 2.1 million pounds or 14 percent in vol- ume. The value remained about the same as reported in 1958. In years prior to 1956, vessels of the Seattle halibut fleet landed important quan- tities of fish livers and viscera extracted from the fish taken. Since that time the quan- tities of fishlivers and viscera landed by this fishery have been negligible and are not included in the total receipts. A summary of the 1959 landings at Seattle by the United States halibut fleet is con- tained in the following tables. These landings represent the dressed weight of the catchandare notdirectly comparable with the data contained in the sectional and state tables. For additional information on the Pacific Coast halibut fishery, the reader is referred to Section 11 of this publication, Review of Certain Major Fisheries.

PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES 237 WHALING A total of 309 whales was taken off California in 1959 -- 48 more than in 1958. The catch was processed into 3.9 million pounds of sperm and whale oil, 3.8 million pounds of whale meal, and 3.7 million pounds of whale meat. These products were valued at 875 thousand dollars to the processors. Compared with the previous year, this was an increase of 8 percent in both volume and value. The whales were taken by five harpoon vessels based at Point San Pablo and Rich- mond in San Francisco Bay. The vessels had a combined net tonnage of 609 tons and were manned by a total of 26 men. Most of the whales were captured in the vicinity of the Farallon Islands. Humpback and fin whales accounted for the greater part of the 1959 catch. There were 140 humpbacks and 109 fin whales taken. The remainder of the catch consisted of 39 sei, 17 sperm, 5 blue, and 2 bottlenose whales. The largest whale caught was a blue whale measuring 82 feet. Fin whales, however, contributed the greatest con- centrations of large sizes ranging from 50 to 75 feet. Humpbacks ranged from 33 to 51 feet, sei whales from 35 to 51 feet, and sperm from 35 to 52 feet. The season for taking whales, established in accordance with the regulations of the International Whaling Commission, permits the taking of sperm whales from April 1 to November 30, and other species from May 1 to October 31. The maximum number of whales was taken in July and August. The humpback whales each supplied from six to eight tons of whale meat and about 1,800 gallons of oil. The larger finback whales yielded from 12 to 15 tons of meat.

United States fishermen accounted for 60 per- cent of the landings. Compared with 1958, the United States catch was down nearly 6 million pounds, while the Canadian catch was up over a million pounds. Most of the decline in the domestic catch occurred in Lake Michigan, where production was nearly 7 million pounds less than in 1958. Catches of nearly all important species taken in this lake were off sharply, with landings of smelt down over 3 million pounds. United States fishermen took 66 million pounds of fish valued at 7 million dollars from these lakes in 1959, a decline of 8 percent in volume and 18 percent in value com- pared with the previous year. It was the smallest United States catch since 1928 and the second smallest in the history of the fishery. In 1959, Lake Erie was the principal contributor to the United States catch with volume only slightly less than in the previous year. The catch from Lake Michigan, the 1958 leader, was down 25 percent. Lake Superior landings were up 1.8 million pounds. Catches in other lakes were virtually unchanged from the previous year. Among the eight Great Lakes States, Michigan continued to lead in production, althoughits catch was 3.2 million pounds less than in 1958. Ohio was in second place with 19.5 million pounds -- about the same level as the previous year. Wisconsin landings were down 1.4 million pounds. There were large changes in the catch of principal Great Lakes species compared with the previous year. Landings of yellow pike declined 51 percent; smelt, 28 per- cent; lake trout, 18 percent; carp, 13 percent; andchubs, 7 percent. Few large increases occured, although sheepshead was up 64 percent and yellow perch, 7 percent. Landings of the once abundant blue pike amounted to only 35 thousand pounds. In 1949 the catch of this species totaled 14 million pounds and the catch averaged over 7 million pounds annually during the years from 1952 to 1956. Blue pike are taken almost exclusively in Lake Erie which has a history of violent changes in fish populations. This may be due to the shallow nature of the lake which results in wide environmental changes due to wind and temperature variations. More- over, biologists have found evidence of along term trend toward enrichment of the waters of Lake Erie. Lake trout in 1959 yieldeda catchof 868 thousand pounds -- the first year landings by United States fishermen were below a million pounds. In 1944 the catch of these fish amounted to 10.6 million pounds with most of the production coming from Lake Michigan. With the exception of a few pounds, all of the 1959 catch came from Lake Superior -- the last Great Lakes refuge for this species. Great Lakes catch statistics show a change in the principal landings from high- priced to low-priced species. Lake trout, whitefish, yellow and blue pike, which formerly accounted for most of the value of the Great Lakes catch, are now taken in greatly reduced numbers while yellow perch, chubs, smelt, carp, alewives, and other lower-priced species are taken in increasing volume. The change incomposition of the stocks is caused partly by the decimation of some native species by the lamprey, partly by the increase in populations of introduced species GREAT LAKES FISHERIES with limited demand, and partly by changing physical conditions in the lakes themselves which provide a more favorable habitat for the less desirable fish. The commercial fishery has been selective against high priced species. Paradoxically, the lakes appear to contain a greater volume of fish than ever before. The lamprey control program in Lake Superior moved rapidly from the experimental to the operational stage in 1959. United States and Canadian crews operating in their respective countries worked in close cooperation in treating waters flowing into the lakes so as to destroy young lamprey in the stream beds. Treatment of lamprey spawn- ing streams emptying into Lake Superior was scheduled to be completed in 1960. After the lamprey population has been reduced, an effort will be made to rebuild the lake trout population through restocking andother means. Preliminary work was underway in 1959 for similar treatment of streams flowing into Lake Michigan. Animportant Bureau accomplishment on the Great Lakes has been the encouragement of otter trawling to replace less efficient gearinsome fisheries. Though the states have not fully accepted the gear as a regular fishing device, most granted restricted permits for its use. The exploratory fishing program conducted by the Bureau in Lake Erie during 1959 indicated that smelt could be taken profitably on a commercial scale with trawling gear. During 1959 a total of 3,851 men, 511 vessels of 5 net tons and over, and 1,323 other craft was employed in the commercial fisheries of the Great Lakes and the Inter- national Lakes of northern Minnesota. The number of vessels was down 44 compared with the previous year. As a result of the poor economic condition of the Great Lakes fisheries for anumber of years, there has beena gradual decline in the number of vessels operated in the Lakes. The number engaged in 1959 was 150 less than in 1950. Much of the data in thig section were assembled and prepared for publication by the Bureau's Branch of Statistics and Branch of Inland Fisheries from information collected by the following agencies: Dominion Bureau of Statistics of Canada; Illinois Depart- ment of Conservation; Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Fish and Game; Michigan Department of Conservation; Minnesota Department of Conservation; New York Conservation Department, Division of Fish and Game; Ohio Department of Natural Re- sources, Section of Fish Management; Pennsylvania Fish Commission; and Wisconsin Conservation Department. Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch of the Great Irakes fish- eries appearing on the following pages have previously been published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2454. Seasonal variations in the catch of fish landed in Ohio can be ascertained from monthly landing bulletins issued currently in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Section of. Fish Management. Additional specific data on many aspects of the Great Lakes fisheries may be found in the daily, monthly, and annual reports published by the Bureau's Chicago Fishery Market News Office.

Compared with 1958, this was an increase of 4 percent in volume and 3 per- cent in value. Five items--buffalofish, carp, catfish, sheepshead, andmussel shells-— accounted for 89 percent of the catch. Wisconsin continued to lead the Mississippi River States in volume of production followed by Alabama, Louisiana, and Minnesota. Of the twenty states in the area re- porting a commercial catch, these four accounted for close to 60 percent of the total catch in the region. The Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers were the leading producing waters during 1959, accounting for 33.5 million pounds or 43 percent of the total landings in the region. The first published survey of the fisheries of the Mississippi River and its trib- utaries was for the year 1894. Surveys were made at intermittent intervals from then until 1931. As a result of the depression, World War II, and shortage of funds for stat- istical activities, the next canvass made was for 1950. Since 1954, annual canvasses of the fisheries of the Mississippi River and its tributaries have been conducted. In 1894, the catch amounted to 55.4 million pounds. The largest catch was taken in 1908 when 148.2 million pounds were reported. The river fisheries have shown remarkably little change over the years. The same species still dominate the catch today as in 1894; and the same types of fishing gears are used. Although game fish were taken in the early fishery, they were never a signif- icant partofthe catch. Buffalofish, catfish, carp, andsheepshead have always provided the bulk of the landings. The unique fresh-water mussel fishery persists despite com- petition from plastics which provide cheaper buttons than those made from mussel shells. The industry has been able to produce and sell other products from mussel shells such as poultry grit and colored chips for fish bowls. In addition, substantial quantities of shell are exported to Japan for use in the production of cultured pearls. Our nation's expanding economy has caused changes in the habitat from which the fresh-water fishermen takes his catch. Pollution and erosion have lessened the ability of rivers to produce good quantities of desirable quality fish. Many rivers have been dammed to create large lakes. Fishermen have adapted to these changes and are prob- ably fishing more acres of water today than at the turn of the century. Commercial fishing on the rivers has usually beena part-time or marginal occupation. Early in this century, sport fishing became of sufficient importance to overshadow the commercial use of our fresh-water fishery resource in rivers and inland lakes. As a re- sult, the commercial fisherman lost the right to take game fish for sale and the more efficient fishery methods were declared illegal or the best fishing seasons and areas were denied. However, the commercial fisheries have received benefits as the result of actions by states inchanging regulations so as to permit commercial removal of rough fish when biological investigations have shown that the removal of these species improves sport fishing.

FEB. MAR. APR. MAY JUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC. SECTION 11 REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES There are presented in this Section of the Digest, complete data on the catch of certain major species of fish and shellfish taken on a commercial scale in the United States. Additional information is presented on the operating units engaged in the men- haden purse seine, the shrimp and fish otter trawl, and the tuna fisheries. Although the data on catch are included in the detailed catch tables of the various states, they have been repeated in individual fishery tables in this portion of the report to provide readers with a single source of catch data for cod, haddock, halibut, Pacific mackerel, jack mackerel, menhaden, Atlantic ocean perch, Pacific sardines, salmon, tuna, oysters, clams, crabs, and shrimp. Most of the above species are taken by several types of fishing gear. Because of this, the casual reader of the Digest often experiences diffi- culty 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. coD PACIFIC MACKERELS. HADDOCK PACIFIC TUNA PACIFIC HALIBUT MENHADEN ATLANTIC OCEAN PERCH CLAMS PACIFIC SALMON CRABS PACIFIC SARDINES OYSTERS SHRIMP UNITED STATES COD FISHERY United States fishermen landed 59.8 million pounds ofcod, valued at 4 million dol- lars in 1959. This was an increase of 5.6 million pounds and 374 thousand dollars com- pared with the 1958 catch. Otter trawls accounted for 85 percent of the cod catch; lines of all types, nearly 11 percent; and gill nets, 4 percent. Small catches amounting to less than 1 percent ofthe total production were taken with other gear. Landings at Massachusetts ports, amounting to 36.7 million pounds, accounted for 61 percent of the total catch. Washington was next with 13.0 million pounds, followed by New Jersey (3.3 million pounds) and Maine (2.7 million pounds). The remaining 4.1 million pounds was taken in eight other North Atlantic and Pacific Coast States. 375 376 AREA AND STATE NEW ENGLAND; MAINE . « « . MASSACHUSETTS OG RHODE ISLAND. . CONNECTICUT . .

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES ATLANTIC COAST HADDOCK FISHERY The haddock fishery of the United States, which is confined to the Atlantic Ocean, yielded atotal 112.6 million pounds valued at 10.9 million dollars during 1959. Com- pared with 1958, this represented a loss in volume of 6.9 million pounds or 7 percent, and 793,000 dollars of 7 percent in value. The decrease in haddock landings was the continuedresult of the smaller stock of fish, particularly inthe scrod sizes. The prices paid for haddock averaged only 0.1 cents below 1958. Landings at Massachusetts ports accounted for 109.1 million pounds of haddock during 1959 with Maine showing only 3.4 million pounds. Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey made up the remainder with minor quantities totaling 123,000 pounds. Ottertrawls made up 98 percent of the total production of haddock while lines, gill nets, pound nets, and dredges accounted for the remaining 2 percent. About 67 percent of the haddock catch was taken in waters off New England with Georges Bank and South Channel yielding the greater portion. The Nova Scotian Banks contributed 9 percent.

This was an increase of 6.5 million pounds and a decrease of 190 thousand dollars when compared with 1958. The Canadian fleet landed around 2 million pounds more in 1959 than during the previous year, and deliveries by the United States fleet increased over 4 million pounds. Landings by the Canadian fleet were the largest in history. The number of United States-operated halibut vessels was 46 less than in 1958. The average price paid to fishermen during 1959 was 2.2 cents less than in 1958. The 1959 Pacific halibut fishing season opened May lin Areas 1A, 1B, 2 and 3A. Area 3B opened on April 1. The fishing season in Areas 1B and 2 closed July 8,a 68-day period. The second season in Areas 1B and 2 opened on August 22 fora 7-day period with no catch limits. There was no secondhalibut seasonin Areas 1A, 3A, and 3B. The season in Area 3A closed on August lafter 92 days fishing when the quota of 30 million pounds had been taken. Areas 1A and 3B remained opened to halibut fishing until October 16. Data onthe landings of halibut in the following tables represent the dressed weight of the fish, i.e. the weight on which the quota is based.

ATLANTIC OCEAN PERCH FISHERY The catch of Atlantic ocean perch in 1959 totaled 136.7 million pounds valued at 5.7 million dollars. This was a decrease of 11.9 million pounds and about 600 thou- sand dollars -- down 8 percent in volume and 10 percent in value compared with 1958. The entire 1959 production of Atlantic ocean perch was taken by otter trawls and land- ed in the States of Maine and Massachusetts. Landings of ocean perch at Maine ports during 1959 were 75.2 million pounds valued at 3.1 million dollars. The Maine land- ings accounted for 55 percent of the total catch, about 7 percent more than in 1958. The banks off Nova Scotia were the principal fishing grounds of the ocean perch fleet, accounting for 53 percent of the total landings of this species. The Grand Banks area was next with nearly 36 percent while the catch in the Gulf of St. Lawrence ac- counted for 11 percent. Negligible quantities of ocean perch were also taken off Lab- rador and Northeast Newfoundland. Since most of the catch is packaged and frozen, the ocean perch fishery supports a large filleting industry in New England. Fishermen averaged 4.1 cents per pound for the 1959 catch. OTTER TRAWLER USED IN OFFSHORE OCEAN PERCH FISHERY 380 REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES PACIFIC COAST SALMON FISHERY The 1959 commercial salmon catchin the Pacific Coast States amounted to only 202 million pounds valued at 35.7 million dollars to the fishermen. This was a decline of 34 percent in volume and 22 percent in value compared with the previous year. The Alaska catch totaled only 147 million pounds, probably the smallest catch since 1900. Failure of the run of pinks and chums in Alaska contributed substantially to the sharp decline. The Puget Sound catch of sockeye, while less than the previous year, was the best of its cycle for many years. Alaska gained statehood during 1959 and assumed control of its fisheries for the first time in history. One of the first acts of the new State was to outlaw salmontraps in areas under State jurisdiction. Purse seines were the most important gear usedin taking salmon in 1959 account- ing for 44 percent of the total catch. Gill nets were in second place with 36 percent followed by lines with 13 percent. The remaining 7 percent was taken by haul seines, pound nets, dip nets, reef nets, and wheels.

Compared with 1958 this was a decrease of 133.1 million pounds or 64 percent in volume andnearly 4.0 million dollars or 73 percent in value. All the 1959 production of Pacific sardines was taken by purse seines and lampara nets and was landed inthe Monterey, Santa Barbara, San Pedro, and San Diego Districts of California. 593122 O - 61 - 25 Ww a REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES PACIFIC COAST MACKEREL FISHERIES The 1959 catch of jack and Pacific mackerel amounted to 75.3 million pounds val- ued at 1.9 million dollars. This was a gain of 25.6 million pounds and 728 thousand dollars compared with the previous year's production. The catch of jack mackerel was 15.6 million pounds greater than in 1958 while that of Pacific mackerel increased nearly 10 million pounds. Despite the gains, the total catch of the two species was well below the average catches during recent years and far less than the record 146.5 mil- lion pounds of jack mackerel taken in 1952 and the 146.4 million pounds of Pacific mackerel taken in 1935. The 1959 ex-vessel price for both jack and Pacific mackerel remained steady at $50.00 per ton during the entire year. As in previous years, most of the catch of both jack and Pacific mackerel was landed in the San Pedro district. Over 56 percent of the jack mackerel and 90 percent of the Pacific mackerel was landed in this district. Purse seines and lampara nets took 99.3 percent of the jack mackerel and 49.1 percent of the Pacific mackerel landed in 1959. Brail or scoop nets accounted for 50.8 percent of the catch of Pacific mackerel.

Compared with the 1958 catch, this representeda decrease of 42.5 million pounds or 13 percent involume and 7.3 mil- lion dollars or 16 percent in value. The California tuna fleet experienced the longest tie-up in its history. The purse-seine fleet of 50 vessels was tied up from May 1 to July 6, while the clipper fleet of 100 vessels began tying up on arrival after May 1 and remained idle until October 23. Late in 1959 the American Tuna Boat Association tuna auction was curtailed and finally discontinued due to a sharply reduced tuna clipper fleet and establishment of a "floor" price which prevented a free auction. As a resultof increased catches bythe purse-seine fleet during the previous year, wholesale conversion of clippers to purse-seine gear was started late in 1959. In 1959, a total of 5,924 fishermen, 1,447 vessels, 223 motor boats, and 276 ac- cessory boats engaged in the United States Pacific Coast tuna fishery.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 391 UNITED STATES CLAM FISHERY During 1959, the United States production of clam meats totaled 45.0 million pounds valued at 11.5 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with the previous year, this represented an increase of 24 percent in volume and 9 percent in value. The Middle Atlantic led allother areas in the yieldof clam meats with 63 percent. of the total production. The New England and Chesapeake States each accounted for 16 percent of the total. The remaining 5 percent was produced in the South Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coast areas, and in Hawaii. Dredges accounted for 31.4 million pounds or 70 percent of the total clam meat production, while tongs, with 4.9 million pounds, accounted for 11 percent. the re- mainder of the catch was taken with rakes, hoes, forks, and shovels or gathered by hand. In Section 13 of this Digest, under the heading "Conversion Factors", there is a table which gives the average state yield per United States standard bushel for the clams taken on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Supplementary shellfish tables appear after the summary tables for each Atlantic and Gulf regional section.

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES ee UNITED STATES CRAB FISHERY The catch of crabs in the United States in 1959 totaled 174.6 million pounds valued at 14.8 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1958, this was an increase of 8.2 million pounds or5 percent in volume and 2.4 million dollars or 20 percent in value. The Pacific Coast States (55.9 million pounds) led all other areas in production- accounting for 32 percent of the total. The Chesapeake States were in second place with 45.5 million pounds or 26 percent. The South Atlantic States followed with 22 percent, the Gulf States with 17 percent, and the Middle Atlantic and New Ergland States, and Hawaii with the remaining 3 percent. The production of blue crabs was 116.5 million pounds or 67 percent of the total, while Dungeness crabs (36.9 million pounds) from the Pacific coast accounted for 21 percent. The remainder (12 percent) consisted of king crabs from Alaska, stone crabs from Florida, rock crabs from New England and Cali- fornia, and unclassified crabs from Hawaii. In Section 13 of this Digest, under the headings “Conversion Factors", is a table which gives the average number of crabs per pound by species for each of the Atlantic and Gulf States. Supplementary shellfish tables are shownafter the summary tables for each Atlantic and Gulf regional section.

This represented a decrease of 1.7 million pounds or 3 percent in volume and nearly 1 million dollars or 3 percent in value when compared with 1958 landings. During 1959 increases over the previous year were registered in the New England, South Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coast States while declines were recorded in Middle Atlantic and Chesapeake areas. Chesapeake led all other areas accounting for 51 percent of the 1959 catch. The Gulf States were in second place with 21 percent while the Pacific area accounted for 19 percent of the total. The remaining 9 percent was taken in the New England, Mid- dle Atlantic, and South Atlantic States. The decline in the Middle Atlantic States was caused chiefly by the destruction of set in Long Island Sound by drills andstarfish and by a destructive disease in Delaware Bay which scientists identified as Hapospoudian. Dredges accounted for 44.4 million pounds of meats or 69 percent of the total oys- ter catch, while tongs (17.8 million pounds) accounted for 28 percent. The remainder of the catch was taken by rakes, grabs, forks, or gathered by hand. In Section 13 of this Digest is atable which gives the volume of the bushel mea- sures used for oysters in the various Atlantic and GulfStates and the average yield per bushel. Supplementary shellfish tables appear after the summary tables for each At- lantic and Gulf regional section.

They contain detailed information on the operating units engaged in this fishery and a breakdown of vessels by area, state, and net tonnage. Data in this detail were first published for 1957. These data had not previously been available since it had not been possible to determine from regular operating unit tables, the du- plication between areas, in fishermen and craft. This is the second year that fish otter-trawl vessels operating more than one trawl were reported. As before, this oc- curred only in Louisiana where a number of vessels taking trash fish used two or more trawls.

During the first year(1868) of American oc- Ccupation, various independent parties took a total of 140 thousand seals. In the following year, before the islands were set aside by the United States Governmentas a special reserva- tion for the protection of the animals, 86 thou- sand seals were killed. A year later the United States Treasury Department was authorized to lease exclusive rights to take seals on the is- lands, with stipulations that no females were to be taken. During the next 40 years of ownership by the United States, the sealing privilege on the Pribilofs was leased to private companies (The Alaska Commercial Company and the NorthAmer- ican Commercial Co.) . Morethan 2 million fur- seal skins were taken. From 1870 to 1889 the Alaska Commercial Company had little difficulty in getting its annual quota of 100 thousand skins. However, although sealing operations on the islands were carefully regulated, pelagic seal- ing (the killing of seals atsea) was notregulat- FUR SEAL ‘Pups’ ed. By 1889 pelagic sealing was taking aheavy and damaging toll which threatened to extermin- ate the Alaska fur-seal herd. Fur seals are vulnerable to capture while at sea as well as on land. The Indians of the northwest coast of America from time immemorial followed the custom of spearing fur seals from their canoes as the herd passed along their shores. However, the catch was small and the animals were taken primarily for foodandcloth- ing. The take hadno material effect on the fur- seal herd. Between 1871 and 1878 this fishery was expanded andin 1879 schooners, averaging 70 tons fitted out to transport hunters and canoes to the sealing grounds, engaged in the fur-seal PRIBILOF ISLANDS FUR SEAL harvest. Sealing on land could be controlled but at sea all animals became targets. The re- sult was the loss of many injured animals and others that had been killed outright sank and were never retrieved. More important was that a high percentage of the take were females whose death resulted in the loss of their unborn pups or the starvation of new-born pups left on land. Pelagic sealing greatly disturbed the pattern of production to which the conservation of the herd had been tailored; the slaughter was toend only when the herd had been reduced to such a low point that pelagic sealing as wellaslandkilling was unprofitable. Pelagic sealingon acommer- cial scale reached its peak in 1894 when nearly 62 thousand skins were taken. Between 1868 and 1909 almost a million skins were taken onthe high seas. Though pelagic sealing was an extremely wasteful method of taking seals there was, for many years, no way of preventing the operation because it was carried on in waters beyond the control of the countries possessing the rookeries. Recognizing that the wasteful killing atsea was greatly against the interests of the herd, the United States sought to establish jurisdiction over pelagic sealing in the Bering Sea. A num- ber of the sealing vessels which operated in 412 HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS those waters were seized and confiscated by the United States. This resulted in a lengthy controversy withGreat Britain since the pelagic fleet was largely of Canadian registry. In 1892 the entire matter was remanded to a tribunal of arbitration. This body, which met in Paris in 1893, denied the United States authority to exer- cise jurisdiction over the Pribilof Islands' fur seals when suchanimals were more than 3 miles from shore. Although other regulations were formulated for the protection of the fur seals, they later proved to be inadequate andthe Prib- ilof herd continued to decline. In 1897 Congress enacteda law forbiddingAmerican citizens from engaging in pelagic sealing at anytime orplace. In 1910, the United States Government assumed full charge of sealing operations onthe Pribilof Islands following expiration of the leasing pro- gram. Inthat year, the once greatherd had been reduced to less than 150 thousand animals. After extended diplomatic negotiations, con- certed and timely action by conservationists of four countries (the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Russia) finally succeeded in getting their governments to accept the terms of the North Pacific Fur-Seal Convention of 1911. Pelagic sealing was prohibited except by aborigines us- ing primitive weapons. Each country owning fur- sealrookeries agreed to share 30 percent of the SMALL HAREM ‘Bull, Cows, and pups’ annual take of sealskins--Canada and Japan each to receive 15 percent of the sealskins from the Pribilof Islands and 15 percent of those from the Commander Islands, and Canada, Russia, and the United States each to receive 10 percent of the pelts from Robben Island. The convention remained in force for 30 years until terminated by Japan in 1941. From 1942 to 1957 the Pribilof herd was protected by a provisional agreement between Canada and the United States and in 1957 anew North Pacific Fur-Seal Convention similar in basic provisions to the 1911 conven- tion was concluded by Canada, Japan, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States. The convention of 1911 provided, for the first time, a sound basis for the management of the North Pacific fur seals. Since 1911 the Alaska fur-seal herd has steadily increased from less than 150 thousand seals to its present level of about 1 1/2 million animals--one of the most outstanding accomplishments in the conservation of wildlife. Since 1939 the herd has sustained an average annual yield of about 69 thousand fur- seal skins. The future of the Alaska fur-seal herd seems assured as long as the countries of the world continue to work together in the sol- ution of problems peculiar to such migratory wild- life populations.

Counts of shipments of skins due to be exported to China or Russia were made bythe Russian Company when the skins were shipped to Sitka. Beyond this, there were only a few records on the number of animals consumed in Alaska, lost through wastefulness andcrude methods of curring skins, or destroyed in the warehouses.

However, the Convention allowed, under primitive conditions, Indians, Aleuts, or other aborigines dwelling on the coasts of America to take fur’seals. The take of fur-seal skins from pelagic and other sources from 1912 to 1953 was done under these conditions. 13/ The Act of Congress approved August 24, 1912, provided that "all killing of fur-seals on the Pribilof Islands, or anywhere within the jurisdiction of the United States in Alaska, shall be suspended for a period of five years, and shall be, and is hereby, declared to be unlawful." In strict compliance with that provision of law, no seals were killed except such as was necessary for food for the natives. 14/ Following 1940, interest in pelagic sealing dwindled. No skins were taken in 1942 and 1943 when employment was at a high point and military restrict- ions on offshore activities were in effect. Since 1954 there has been no recorded commercial pelagic sealing carried on at the expense of the Pribilof Islands herd. 15/ Due to the war situation in the Alaska and Aleutian Islands area, all inhabitants of the Pribilof Islands were removed by order of the military authorities. When the evacuation was ordered, sealing operations were just getting under way. The take of skins was very small. 16/ This figure represented the second largest kill under controlled con- ditions in the history of the Islands. In 1943, the normal number of seals were taken and also those animals which would have been taken in 1942 if normal sealing operations had been carried on.

HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS “7 BYPRODUCTS After the United States Government assumed full charge of sealing operations on the Pribilof Islands in 1910, efforts were made to utilize the waste products of the fur-seal industry. Prior to World War I, the fur-seal carcasses, for the most part, were abandoned to the elements. Na-" tives of the islands used some of the seal meat as food and other parts of the carcasses were utilized in the making of clothing. The aband- oned fur-seal carcasses were also an import- ant source of food for the blue fox populations on the islands. World War I stimulated efforts to utilize waste products of the industry. Seal meat was preserved in salt for experimental use by the Department of Agriculture, the gullets or throats of the animals were used experimentally in fine leather work, oil and gelatine were extracted from carcasses, tests were made of the suit- ability of intestines for sausage casings, and fur-seal bone deposits from the killing fields were collected for chemical analysis. However, very little was actually achieved as a result of this experimental work although about 472 thou- sand pounds of fur-seal bones were shipped to the United States during the war and sold for the manufacture of fertilizer. In 1918 a small byproducts plant was built by the Government for the purpose of producing additional oil from which glycerine, anessential material for munitions manufacture, could be prepared. This plant was operated on a limited basis from 1919 through 1924, and for a short period in 1928. Operations were restricted by a shortage of coal for fuel and after 1920 the price of meal andoil declined to the point where the operation of the plant was not economical. During its period of operation, the plant pro- duced about 82 thousand pounds of meal and 34 thousand gallons of oil. Although there were some sales, over half of the meal was used as fox food on the islands and over two-thirds of the oil was usedin the tanning of sealskins and in the preparation of fox food. In 1930 the byproducts plant was modern- ized and enlarged. This new installation was completed in 1931 but due to low prices for oil and meal it was not placed in operation until 1935. The plant has since been operated each season, except in 1942 when the Pribilof Islands were evacuated for military reasons. During World War II the demand for meal and oil was greatly increased. However, the plant was no longer adequate to utilize all of the available waste products because between 1930 and 1940 the annual take of sealskins had increased about 50 percent, Plans were made to double the capacity of the plant but due to wartime shortages and other relatedreasons, the expansion was not completed until 1948. Since 1948 the plant has produced an average annual yield of about 733 thousand pounds of seal mealand 48 thousand gallons, of oil. From 1935 to 1939 mostof the fur-seal meal produced each year was used as fish food in hatcheries operated by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. However, in recent years most of the meal has been sold for use as a protein ingredient in poul- try feed. A small quantity has beenused exper- imentally in the feeding of fur-bearing animals and small amounts have also been sold to state fishhatcheries. Since 1935 mostof the fur-seal oilhas been sold for the account of the Govern- ment for use in leather tanning. 418 HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS PRODUCTION AND SALES OF FUR-SEAL MEAL AND OIL, 1919 - 1959 Quantity Sold Quantity Produced Pounds Gallons Pounds Gallons 1919 20,568 3,000 20,568 3,000 1920 19,000 1,853 15,393 - 1921 8,759 Saal - - 1922 1,935 8,546 - - 1923 8,703 5,925 - - 1924 19,014 6,870 - - 1925 - = 1,019 - 1926 - - 35 O38 - 1927 (1) (1) (1) (1) 1928 4,215 2,479 - - 1929 - 1934 (1) (1) (1) (1) 1935 155,254 18,994 - 18,238 1936 276,040 NY ASL - 23,669 1937 330,265 29,830 - 29,341 1938 357,222 30,587 - 29,865 1939 502,914 32,809 338,421 27 ,966 1940 618,762 30,605 569,536 24,405 1941 747,546 54,610 746,457 39,610 1942 (1) (1) (1) (1) 1943 782,000 75,259 244,679 94,482 1944 484,776 32,976 835,470 32,976 1945 547,969 41,189 547 ,969 41,189 1946 528,040 33,912 528,040 33,912 1947 606,514 39,746 606,514 39,746 1948 686,089 48,592 684,089 48,592 1949 694,350 49,253 693,350 49,253 1950 673,558 42,013 672,000 41,689 1951 702,616 39,867 702,000 39,867 1952 729 ,806 35,029 729,806 35,029 1953 705,935 46,800 705,935 46,800 1954 (Sy ashi 40,220 661,131 40,220 1955 642,876 40,509 642,876 40,509 1956 1,252,169 88,270 1,252,169 88,270 1957 748,277 53,291 748,277 53,291 1958 636,000 52,908 636,000 52,908 1959 659,167 39,307 659,167 39,307 1/ Plant not operated.

SECTION 13 STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE This report is another in a series of annual statistical reports containing detailed statistics, analytic textual reviews, and graphic presenta- tions on the commercial fisheries of the United States. Included are data on the quantity and value of the commercial yield of fishery products by states, regions, waters, and gear; and the number of persons and operating units engaged in the fisheries. The publication contains data on the volume and value of processed fishery products, freezings and cold-storage holdings, foreign trade, andother related information. The report has been prepared and published by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Fish and Wild- life Service, United States Department of the Intérior, and is a continuation of a series inau- gurated by its predecessor organizations in the Departments of Interior, Commerce, Commerce and Labor, and the United States Fish Commis- sion. In order that those who use the statistical data contained in this and previous reports may be informed as to the source of the figures and methods for their collection, it has beendeemed advisable to outline, in moderate detail, the sur- vey procedure followed. 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 improvement. While the surveys in different sec- tions are not made in the same manner, owing to varying facilities and records, an attempt has been made to make the data collected by various methods comparable withrespect to the same year as well as overa period of years. Throughout the entire plan it has been the intention to coord- inate 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 fish- ery industries of the various sections of the United States occupy by far the greatest part of the time of the personnel of the Branch of Statistics. In the course of these surveys, the field represent- atives visit the individual fishing localities of the various states to collect statistics on the volume andvalue of the catch of fish and shell- fish, employment in the fisheries, quantity of 421 fishing gear, number and classification of fish- ing and transporting craft, and the volume and value of manufactured fishery products and by- products. The various phases of these surveys are discussedin detail,in the sections following. History -~-The first comprehensive statis-— tical study of the fisheries and fishery industries of the United States was made for the year 1880 by George Brown Goode, Assistant Director of the United States National Museum, and associ- ates, with the cooperation of the Commissioner of Fisheries and the Superintendent of the Tenth Census. Datafor specific fisheries, or restrict- ed sections for years prior to 1880, also were collected in the early survey and recorded in Mr. Goode's reports. The survey for 1880, how- ever, 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 the years from 1880 to 1907 and from 1909 to 1928. The first com- plete statistical canvass of the entire United States was made for 1908 by the Bureau of the Census. The next general survey of the entire United States was not made until 1931, although complete data for all sections, excluding the Mississippi River andits tributaries, were col- lected for 1929 and 1930. Complete data on the catch and operating units forthese same sections were also collected for 1932. In the latter sur- vey, however, lack of sufficient funds prohibited collection of dataon the wholesale and manufac-— turing operations except those datacollected as a part of the canned fishery products and byprod- ucts survey. Various sections were surveyed during the years from 1933 to 1949, inclusive. A complete survey of all sections of the country was made for 1950. Since 1951, allof the coast- al areas were canvassed annually, and catch records were obtained for the Lakes section. Complete operating unit and catch data have been obtained for all areas since 1954. Data on the wholesale and manufacturing industries were col- lected in all of the surveys from 1933 to 1940, inclusive. In the years from 1941 to 1949, in- clusive, and in 1951, lack of experienced per- sonnel and budgetary limitations precluded the collection of data on wholesale and manufactur- ing firms except for those data collected as part of the canned fishery products, byproducts, and packaged fish surveys. The chart on page 423 indicates the years for which surveys have been made in the various sections. Figures for more recent years are a- vailable from the Bureau in bulletin form, but data for the earlier years are available only in the Fish Commission and Bureau of Fisheries printed reports. These reports are available for reference in the Department of the Interior library and in many public libraries. Since the surveys of the fisheries have var- ied in completeness three legends have been used for the years shownin the chart toindicate whether complete, partial, or no surveys were conducted in the individual regions. The des- ignation "complete survey" has been used to indicate that basic operating unit andcatch data were obtained and that complete information was collectedon employment in wholesale and manu- facturing establishments andon the production of manufactured fishery products. The legend "par- tial survey" usually indicates that operating unit and catch statistics were collected, but that no information was obtained on employment in whole- sale and manufacturing establishments and that only partial data were obtainedon the production of manufactured fishery products. In some in- stances 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 manu- factured products data. Although the chart in- dicates that in certain regions no surveys were conducted, some information may be available on the landings atcertain important ports. Like- wise, informationon the catchof certain species, such as menhaden, may be available as a result of data collected in connection 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 has been obtained on 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. 43, "Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1956." A list of the statistical bulletins in the Current Fishery Statistics series published STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE during 1959 may be found in Section 16 of this digest. Field Personnel--The statistics con- tained in this volume have been collected by a group of trained fishery marketing specialists of the Bureau. Period Covered--These specialists are assigned permanent field stations, generally in the principal port within their field, and travel from that station in conducting their various sur- veys. Most of the agents collect statistics on landings for the current year, and assemble final operating unit, catch, and manufactured products data for the previous year. It is usually three to ten months after the end of the calendar year for which they are collecting data before the final figures for this digest are available. The data are tabulated and prepared for publication before the end of the year. The figures are collected and published on a calendar 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 September to April, inclusive. Beginning with 1930 and continuing to the present time, they have beencollectedon the basis of the calendar year. Scope--The coastal statistical surveys include canvasses of the commercial fisheries of the oceans, bays, and coastal rivers as far inlandas commercial fishing is important. This usually coincides with the range of commercial fishing for anadromous species. Statistics on the fisheries of the Mississippi River include those of the Mississippi River proper as wellas all of its tributaries wherein commercial fishing for either fish, crustaceans, or mollusks is car- ried on. Statistics on the fisheries of the Great Lakes cover canvasses of the fisheries in the lakes proper, adjacent bays, the International Lakes of northern Minnesota, and rivers which sustain a commercial fishery having outlets in- to these waters. Statistics on the fisheries of Florida include the commercial fisheries in Lake Okeechobee andother inland lakes. Surveys for statistics of the wholesale and manufacturing fishery industries cover plants located in the coastal, river, and lake areas adjacent to the waters mentioned above. Methods of Collection--There are several methods used in the collection of fishery 423 STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE ASAYNS ON ASAYNS WILYVd AINYNS J3LITdWOD U Pee Resaeeeks SALVLS GALINN 3HL JO SaIdaHSIA JHL 4O SAFAYNS S3LVLS LSVOD 3141 9Vd S3LVLS YSAIY IddISSISSIW S31vVis 34v1 S3LVLS 471NS S3LVLS DILNVILY HLNOS S3LVLS AVG 3NVadVSSHD S3LVLS JILNVILVY J100IW S3LVLS GNVISN3 M3N S31VLS LSVOD 31419Vd S3LVLS Y3SAIY IddISSISSIW S3LVLS 34V1 S3LVLS 41NS S31ViS JILNVILY HiNOS S31V1S AVG ANV3dVS3HD S3LVLS JILNVILY JTadIW S3LVLS GNVISN3 AIAN SaLvlS LSvOD 31 41dvd S3LVLS Y3AIY IddISSISSIW S3lvlS 3yVv1 s3lvls 41N9 S3LvLS JI LNVILVY HiNOS S3LVLS AVG 3NVadVS3HI S3iviS JILNVILVY J1G0IN S3LVLS GNVISNA M3N s24 STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE statistics, eachof which has been carefully stud- ied to obtainthe best results with available per- sonnel and funds. In most instances the field personnel obtain from local customs officials lists of fishing vessels and names of owners of these craft. Also it is usually 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 organiz- ations. Using available preliminary records as a guide, the field specialists 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 deal- ers and manufacturers of fishery products are visited and data are obtained from them on their purchases of fishand shellfish. It isimpossible for the few Bureau representatives available for this work to interview each fisherman in a given locality. However, the more important areas and a sufficient number of areas of lesser importance are visitedto obtainreliable information on pro- duction, the number of fishing craft engaged, the quantity of gear operated, catch by gear and waters, and the number of persons employed as fishermen. The Bureau's role withregard to fishery sta- tistics is principally that of coordinating the col- lection of information, assembling, analyzing, publishing, and disseminating fishery data. The collection of basic operating unit andcatch sta- tistics is primarily a state function. The state fishery agencies in a number of states have de- veloped relatively complete statistical systems which greatly facilitate the Bureau's surveys in these states. Insuchinstances, the Bureau con- ducts only such surveys as may be necessary to make the data comparable with those of other states. The Bureau obtains from the records of the state fishery agencies most of the catch statis- tics for the fisheries of the Great Lakes, the northern Mississippi River area, and the Inter- national Lakes of northern Minnesota. Toobtain data on the numberof fishermen, boats, vessels, and gear, the Bureau conducts such personal sur- veys among the fishermen as may be necessary to supplement the state records. Bureau statistical personnel are stationed at Seattle, Washington; Astoria, Oregon; and San Pedro, California for the purpose of surveying the fisheries of Washington, Oregon, and Calif- ornia. They obtain from the records of the state fishery departments figures on the volume of the catch and operating units. The value of the catch is derived from state and dealers' records. In Washington and Oregon 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 fishery agencies. Statistics of the wholesale fishery industry for this section are obtained largely by personal in- terviews. In many states, the Bureau and the fishery agency of the respective states cooperate in the collection and publication of current monthly and annual data on the catch. These data form the basis of the annual catch figures published in this report for the following states: Maine, Mass- achusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Wash- ington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, and Ohio. In the administration of the Alaska fisheries, the Bureau requires that copies of all receipts for fish and shellfish purchased from fishermen be furnished to the Bureau's Division of Resource Management. The data on these tickets are com- piled by the Division and the summary data, by districts, are reproduced in this report. Statistics on the volume of the catchof fish in the Great Lakes States usually are shown in weights aslanded, which may be in the round or drawn condition. Statistics on the volume of the catch of fish taken in the remainder of the United States are usually shown in round weight. The figures in the tables for shellfish repre- sent the weight of the meats in the cases of uni- valve and bivalve mollusks, 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 Bureau's representatives, include STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 425 data on the number of casual and regular fisher- men; number of motor and other fishing boats and accessory boats (craft of less than 5 net tons capacity are called "boats"); type and quantity of gearused; andthe volume, value, and method of capture of each species for each locality or group of localities. This method is not followed in some sections where the availability of data collected by the state fishery agencies obviates the necessity of detailed locality surveys. Statistics of the vessel fisheries include data on the number in the crew; rig of vessels; net tonnage; kind and quantity of gear used; ac- cessory boats carried; and volume, value, and method of capture of each species. Craft having a capacity of five net tons or over are called "vessels". As in the shore fisheries, the avail- ability of figures collected by state fishery agen- cies may eliminate the necessity of our Bureau agents collecting these data for individual ves- sels. Statistics on 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 reported. All persons engaged in commercial fishing operations are included as fishermen. In most areas fishermen not on vessels have been divid- edinto "regular" and "casual". Regular fisher- men are defined as those who receive more than one-half their annual income from fishing; where- as casual fishermen are those who receive less than one-half their annual compensation from fishing. On the Pacific Coast it has not been pos- sible to separate regular from casual fishermen. Since 1942, the catch of fish and shellfish has been credited to the port at which it was landed. Prior to the survey for that year it was the practice of the Bureau to credit the entire catch of a vessel to the principal port at which fishor shellfish were unloaded, regardless of the actual point of landing. This policy was dis- continued since it quite often resulted in incon- sistencies by crediting catches of some species to areas far removed from localities in which they are commonly taken. An outstanding example of this is the southern trawl fishery conducted off the New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina coasts. Some fishing vessels from New England operate in this fishery for 6 to 10 weeks during the winter season. Priorto the survey for 1942 the catch of these vessels, consisting prin- cipally of fish common to Middle Atlantic waters, was credited to Massachusetts. Under the pre- sent system, this catchis credited to the Middle Atlantic ports where it,is landed. Since 1949 o0n the Pacific Coast and 1951 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 UnitedStates 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. In that case, it was credited to the locality where it landed the greatest por- tion 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 landed the greatest portion of its catch during the year. This system was changed to provide more accurate data on the total number of craft oper- ating in a given state. With the increased mo- bility of the fishing fleet in recent years, the number of vessels fishing in more than one state has increased greatly. Beginning with data for 1951, the reporting of units of gear was standardized so that nets or lines made up of small units for ease inhandling, but fastened together in fishing, were counted as a single unitratherthan as anumberof small- er 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 long or set lines on the Pacific Coast. In this fishery each skate of gear is counted as one line, eventhough they are fastened together in fishing, because the International Pacific Halibut Commission uses a skate of gear as a unit in its studies of fish- ing intensity. Publication of Data-~-Statistics on employment in the fisheries, craft and gear en- gaged, quantity and value of catch, and certain data on industries related to the fisheries are summarized according to geographic divisions and published in bulletin form as soon as poss- ible after the completion of each survey. Later, the figures, in more detail, are included in the 426 STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE annual report of the Bureau entitled "Fishery Stat- istics of the United States". Data on the operating units (fishermen, fish- ing craft, andgear) 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 digests for the years 1945, 1950, and1955. County data were collect- ed forthe statesin which surveys were conduct- ed during the years since 1938, except for Mary- land, since 1942. Since 1942, only operating unit data by counties have been obtained for Maryland. County data assembled for the years since 1938 which were not published in the digest, are on file in the Washington office of the Bureau. LOCAL AND SPECIAL SURVEYS Landings at Certain Massachu- setts Ports --Detailed statistics are collect- ed on the landings of aquatic products by indi- vidual fishing craft at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, Plymouth, Provincetown, and other Cape Codports. Bureau representatives are stationed at the principal ports. They obtain figures on the quantity and value of fish landed daily by fishing craft, the date of departure and arrival of the craft, the gear used in their capture, the grounds from which the fish were taken, and other related information. The Bureau's Division of Biological Research andthe Branch of Market News cooperate in the collection of these data. Statistics on landings at the above ports are released monthly and annually in bulletin form and detailed data are publishedin the annual sta- tistical digest. Products of American Fisheries received duty free at Boston and Gloucester from the treaty coasts of Newfoundland, MagdalenIs- lands, 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. Information on landings at New Bedford has been collected an- nually since 1938 and at Plymouth, Provincetown, and other Cape Cod ports since 1945. Shad and Alewife Fisheries--Ow- ing to the importance of the Hudson and Potomac Rivers in the production of shad, surveys for stat- istics of the catch, value of the catch, and oper- ating 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 fish- ery agencies. Annual data on the shad and alewife fish- eries are not published separately in bulletin form. However, a summary is published in the annual statistical digest. Statistics on the Hudson River shad fishery are available for 1896, 1897, 1898, 1901, 1904, 1910, and annually since 1915, while data for the Potomac River shad fishery are available for 11896, 901, 1904, 1909), 19'S. tromm Siete 1942, inclusive, andannually since 1944. Stat- istics of the Potomac River alewife fishery are available for 1896, 1909, 1915, from 1919 to 1942, inclusive, and annually since 1944, Pacific Halibut Fishery --Statistics on the Pacific halibut fishery are obtained pri- marily from the International Pacific Halibut Com- mission. Beginning with data for 1956 the fleet classification of halibut craft was revised and vessels were creditedin operating unit tables to each district in which they landed fish; the only exception being that UnitedStates vessels land- ing atPrince Rupert, British Columbia, are cred- ited toSoutheastern Alaska. Duplication of hal- ibut craft which operated in more than one dis- trict has been eliminated inregional and national totals. The catch by the halibut fleetis credited to the port of landing except that fishlanded by United States halibut craft in British Columbia is credited to Southeastern Alaska. Halibut stat- istics are also included inthe monthly and annual summaries published by the Seattle Market News Office. Statistics on the landings of halibut at Pacific Coast ports have been collected since 1925. South Atlantic and Gulf of Mex- ico Shrimp Fishery--Detailed statistics on the quantity and value of shrimp, by variety and size, landed at South Atlantic and Gulf ports, have been collected for the Gulf area since 1956 and the South Atlantic since 1957. Since 1956, Bureau agents have also obtained daily informa- tion on the number of fishing trips, area and STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 427 depth fished, and time spent in fishing by craft landing at United States ports inthe Gulf of Mex- ico. The Branch of Market News, the Bureau's Branch of Marine Fisheries of the Division of Bio- logical Research, and various fishery agencies of the southern states cooperate in the collection of these data. Detailed monthly and annual summaries of the statistics on shrimp landings are published in bulletinform and are summarizedinthe annual statistical digests. Hawaiian Fisheries --The volume and value, by species, of the catch landed monthly inthe State of Hawaii is furnished the Bureau by the Department of Agriculture and Conservation, Division of Fish and Game, Honolulu, Hawaii. Although these data have been published in the Hawaiian section of the Digest since 1946, it was not until 1959 that operating unit, catch, and manufactured products data were assembled in the same manner as those for other states. This allowed them to be included in the nation- al summary tables. The common and scientific names of the species of fish and shellfish land- ed in Hawaii are not included in Section 14 of this report. ” Historical Fishery Statistics-- The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries has in its files andin various Bureau reports or publications of other organizations a large volume of histor- ical data on fisheries. Beginning with the 1951 Digest, a section entitled "Historical Fishery Statistics" which includes complete historical information on selected species has been carried. There is published each year a listing of the titles of the series of data appearing in earlier editions. Menhaden Purse Seine and Shrimp and Fish Otter Trawl Fleets--Begin- ning with 1957, there has been publishedin Sec- tion 12 of these digests detailed summary data on the United States menhaden purse seine and fish and shrimp otter trawl fleets. Included is detailed information on the operating units en- gagedin these fisheries anda breakdown of fish- ing craft by area, state, and net tonnage. Prior to 1957, these data were not available since it was impossible to determine from regular oper- ating unit tables the duplication between areas in fishermen and craft. Canned Fishery Products and By- products-- Beginning in 1921, the Bureau has made annual surveys for statistics of the canned fishery products and byproducts industries of every section. These are started the first week inJanuary of each yearfor statistics on the pro- duction in the preceding year. Sofaras possible, the Bureau obtains by mail, for each domestic canned fishery products and byproducts plant, figures on its annual production. Where it is impossible to obtain the information by mail, the report is secured by a Bureau agent. Includ- edin the data obtained are statistics on the yield and value of the canned products by type of com- modity, can size, and area of production. Data on byproducts are obtained by commodity and area of production. The value shown for canned products and byproducts is in the gross amount received by the packer at the production point. No deductions are made for commissions or ex- penses. Annual statistical bulletins are issued on this trade, and detailed statistics are published in the annual statistical digest. Prior to 1921, canned. fish and byproducts data were not col- lected for the entire country. However, data on the production of these products were usually obtained for the areas in which general canvass surveys were conducted. Fish Meal and Oil--Dataare collect- ed monthly on the domestic production of fish meal, body oil, fish solubles, and homogenized- condensed fish. This information is released monthly and annually in the Bureau's Current Fishery Statistics series of bulletins. Packaged Fish Trade--Statistics on the annual production and value of fish pack- aged inthe United States, exclusive of the states of Alaska and Hawaii, are obtained in conjunc- tion with the canned fishery products and by- products survey. These data are released an- nually in bulletin form and in the annual stat- istical digest. Statistics on the production of packaged fish are available for 1926 and annu- ally since 1928, except that no data were col- lected in California for the years 1941 to 1946, inclusive. Fish Sticks and Portions --Quart- erly information is collected and published on 428 STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE the production and value of cooked and raw fish sticks and breaded, cooked, and raw fish por- tions, and unbreaded fish portions. The data are released inthe Bureau's Current Fishery Stat- istics series of bulletins. Cold-Storage Holdings of Fish-- Information on the monthly freezings and hold- ings of fishery products is obtained from cold storage warehouses by mail and by Bureau em- ployees. Data are also obtained on the hold- ings of certain cured fish. Bulletins showing these statistics are issued monthly and annually. Detailed cold-storage statistics also are published in the Bureau's annual statistical di- gest. Information regarding cold-storage hold- ings of fishery products has been published since 1917 while data on the quantity of fish frozen have been released for the years from 1920 to 1925, inclusive, and annually since 1928. Foreign Fishery Trade--Statistics on foreign fishery trade are obtained from com- pilations made by the Bureau of the Census, De- partment of Commerce. Statistics on all known imported or exported fishery products have been assembled and published annually since 1926 in the Bureau's statistical digest. For earlier years, figures are available in thereports of the Bureau of the Census, Bureauof Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce, the Bureau of Statistics, the Department of Commerce and Labor, or the Treas- ury Department. PRACTICES AND TERMS Certain practices andterms used in this re- port are explained below. Operating Units--Operating units as referred toin this report include persons employ- ed in the fisheries, and craft and gear engaged in the fisheries. Vessel--The term "vessel" refers to a craft having a capacity of five net tons or over. Boat--The term "boat" refers to a craft having a capacity of less than five net tons. Days Absent--In computing "days ab- sent" for vessels landing fares at certain Mass- achusetts ports, the day of arrival, but not the day of departure is included; thus, avessel leav- ing port on the 8th of the month andreturning 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. Days Fished--Incomputing "days fish- ed" for fishing craft landing shrimp at Gulf of Mexico ports, the total number of hours spent in fishing effort has been divided by 24. Fish--Theterm "fish" as used inthis re- port includes all species belonging to the class Pisces. Shellfish, etc.--Ashellfish is an a- quatic 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 "Pish" or "Whale Products" have been included under "Shellfish, etc." Accordingly, there is included under this classification turtles, frogs, sponges, seaweed, and worms. Whale Products--Since data are not available on the poundage of whales taken, stat- istics appearing in catch tables on the yield of these mammals represent the weight of products produced such as meal, sperm oil, whale oil, etc. The values shown represent the amountre- ceived by the manufacturer for the products. Incidental Catch--The term "incident- al catch" refers to the catch of certain species by a type of gear which ordinarily does not cap- ture such species. Percentages--—Percentages are usually shown as whole numbers. Fractions of percents are dropped if less than five-tenths, and the per- centage is raised to the next higher integerif the fraction is greater than five-tenths. Ifthe frac- tionis exactly five-tenths, oddintegers are rais- ed to the next even figure while even integers re- main unchanged. Converting-- Many ofthe figures shown in the summary tables published herewith have been converted to thousands of pounds or thou- sands of dollars. In making these conversions the sum of the items in atable israised or low- STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 429 ered to the nearest thousandin accordance with standard statistical procedures. The individual items are adjusted to conform to the total thus obtained. Confidential Data-- The statistical data collected by the Bureau are confidential, and unless specific authorization is given, are not releasedin a manner that would divulge pri- vate enterprise. CONVERSION FACTORS It is the policy of the Bureau to show detail- edcatch figures of all products in pounds for the sake of uniformity and for purposes of comparison. This represents little difficulty in the case of fish, since inveryrare instances are fishreport- ed in units of measure other than pounds. For shellfish, however, the units of measure may be bushels, sacks, barrels, numbers, gallons of meats, etc. These many units make standard- ization difficult, and when combined with the wide variation in the requirements or definitions of some of these unitsin the various states, the problem becomes even more complex. All univalve and bivalve mollusks (except fresh-water mussel shells) 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 pro- duction innumber of certain other shellfish, such as crabs. There also is included in the General Review section of this report a table containing data on the shell weight of univalve and bivalve mollusks taken. Oysters--Probably the greatest problem in the presentation of fishery statistics in uni- form units of measure is in the case of oysters. Usually the production of oysters on theAtlantic and Gulf Coasts is reported to Bureau personnel in bushels. Prior to the data obtained for the year 1930, bushels were converted to pounds of meats on the basis of a uniform yield of 7 pounds of meats to the bushel. However, it was found that there was considerable variation inthe yield of oysters per bushel particularly in southern states where the yieldhas ranged as low as half the conversion factor used prior to 1930. 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. 430 STATE MAINE. « » 0 « MASSACHUSETTS. RHODE ISLAND , CONNECTICUT, NEW YORK . . NEW JERSEY . DELAWARE . . MARYLAND . .

The descriptive mater- ial appearing with each species includes the areas in which commercial landings are made in the UnitedStates and does not constitute the extreme limits in whichthey occur. Similarly, the gear listed for each species do not represent the only types of apparatus by which these species are obtained, butrepresent those types which are normally used in their capture. The gear do not necessarily appear in the order of their importance. Illustrations of species landed in Hawaii are not included in this section. For more detailed information on the nomenclature of the fishery products listed below, the reader is referred to Section 14 of this publication entitled, "Glossary."
