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


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


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


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

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

INTRODUCTION 


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


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


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


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


SECTION 1 - GENERAL REVIEW 


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


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


GENERAL REVIEW 


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


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


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

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


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


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


GENERAL REVIEW 


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


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

‘/ DATA ARE PARTLY ESTIMATED. 


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


Surveys covering the catch of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic products for 1953 
were conducted in all areas of the United States and Alaska with the exception of the 
Mississippi River and its tributaries. Data on the operating units were collected in 
each of the areas canvassed with the exception of the Lake States. Detailed summaries

GENERAL REVIEW 


MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS 


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


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


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

GENERAL REVIEW 


CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS AND BYPRODUCTS 


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

GENERAL REVIEW 


PACKAGED FISH 


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


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


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


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


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

GENERAL REVIEW 


FROZEN FISH TRADE 


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


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


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


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


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

COLD-STORAGE HOLDINGS OF CURED FISH 


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

GENERAL REVIEW 


FOREIGN FISHERY TRADE 


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


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


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


tries.

SECTION 2 - NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES 


(Area XX//) 


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


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


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


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


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


adjacent waters.

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES 


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


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


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

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES 


LANDINGS AT MAINE PORTS 


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


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


1953. 


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


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

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES 


LANDINGS AT CERTAIN MASSACHUSETTS PORTS 


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

SECTION 3 - MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES 


(Area XX/I/1) 


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


653 in 1952. 


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


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


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


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


Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the fisheries 
of the Middle Atlantic area appearing on the following pages have been previously pub- 
lished in Current Fishery Statistics No. 1161. Historical data on the fisheries of the 
Middle Atlantic States may be found in Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1950, 
Statistical Digest, No. 27.

HUDSON RIVER SHAD FISHERY 


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


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


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


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

SECTION 4 - CHESAPEAKE FISHERIES 


(Area XXI11) 


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


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


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


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


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


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

POTOMAC RIVER SHAD AND ALEWIFE FISHERY 


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


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


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

SECTION 5 - SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES 


(Area XXIV) 


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


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


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


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


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


The Service gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following organizations in 
the collection of the data appearing in this section: The Division of Commercial Fish- 
eries, North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development; the Division of Com- 
mercial Fisheries, South Carolina Wildlife Resources Department; the Coastal Fisheries

SPONGE FISHING IN FLORIDA 


SECTION 6 - GULF FISHERIES 


(Area XXV) 


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


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

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

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


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


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


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


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


the shrimp fishery were found by the Oregon during 1953.

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


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


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

SECTION 7 - PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES 


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


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


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


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


PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES 


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


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


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

LANDINGS BY HALIBUT FLEET AT SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 


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


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

SECTION 8 - LAKE FISHERIES 


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


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


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


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


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


LAKE FISHERIES 


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


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

SECTION 9 - MISSISSIPPI RIVER FISHERIES = 


shy Checks ae eee a was not possible to conduct a general canvass of 

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


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


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


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

SECTION 10 - ALASKA FISHERIES 


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


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


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


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


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


ALASKA FISHERIES 


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


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

SECTION 12 
REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 


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


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

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA COD FISHERY 


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


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


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


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

ATLANTIC COAST HADDOCK FISHERY 


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


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


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


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

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 


PACIFIC COAST HALIBUT FISHERY 


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


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


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


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

ATLANTIC COAST MACKEREL FISHERY 


TOTAL . ww ew ww ww 


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


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


has narrowed to only a few vessels.

PACIFIC COAST MACKEREL FISHERY 


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


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


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

ATLANTIC AND GULF COAST MENHADEN FISHERY 


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


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


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

OCEAN PERCH FISHERY 


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


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


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

PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY 


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


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


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


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

a2 REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 


PACIFIC COAST SALMON FISHERY 


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


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

292 REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 


PACIFIC COAST TUNA FISHERY 


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


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


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

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES 


UNITED STATES OYSTER FISHERY 


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


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


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


gathering by hand made up the remaining 4 percent. 


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

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA SHRIMP FISHERY 


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


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


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

SECTION 13 - HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS 


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


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


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


PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY, 1915 - 1953 


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


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


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


in 1953. 


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


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


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

1915. 


HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS 


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


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


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


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


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


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

SECTION 14 
STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 


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


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


SECTIONAL SURVEYS 


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


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


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

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


307 


308 


STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 
LOCAL AND SPECIAL SURVEYS 


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


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


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


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


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


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


1925. 


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

310 


STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 


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


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


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


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


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


PRACTICES AND TERMS 


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


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


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


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


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


STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE 


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


CONVERSION FACTORS 


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


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


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


yields.

SECTION 16 - PICTORIAL SECTION 


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


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