Table 11 . --Maximum historic conmercial landings of all fish and shellfish species reported for New Jersey. Species are arranged chronologically 

 by the decade in which maximum landings were reported, and in descending order by weight within each decade. This is the order in which species 

 discussions have been arranged.

Available records show no 

 peak catch in this period. 



In addition, the following species produced maximum landing; 

 (1929). dolphin (1930). periwinkles (1932). cunner (1935), Amei 

 1942). razor clam (1947). tarpon (1962. 1968). redfish (1963).

 and white marlin (1965). 



1^/ This may have been a misprint for hogfish. 



2/ Atlantic salmon was virtually eliminated by 1800. The maximum catch obviously predates the statistical series from which these figures 

 were drawn
