ABSTRACT 



This leaflet is designed to answer requests for 

 information about otter trawls currently used in the 

 North Atlantic fisheries. Its major emphasis is on 

 trawls used on New England trawlers, but it also 

 includes some of the trawls used by other countries 

 fishing the fishing grounds of the northwest Atlantic. 



Data such as overall size, twines, mesh sizes, rope 

 and wire size, roller and chain gear, flotation, rig- 

 ging, and certain construction details accompany the 

 drawings and texts for each net described. The de- 

 signs cover trawls for vessels from 55 feet with 220- 

 hp. (horsepower) engines to 250 feet with 2,400-hp. 

 engines.

607. The Mississippi oyster industry. By 

 Bruce W. Maghan. December 1967, iii -f 12 

 pp., 14 figs. 



ABSTRACT 

 Mississippi coastal waters have been a source of 

 oysters since precolonial days. The Eastern oyster 

 reaches marketable size in 2 years in Mississippi. 

 All reefs are within the limits of the Mississippi 

 Sound, and the Mississippi Marine Conservation 

 Commission has jurisdiction over reef rehabilitation, 

 preservation, and expansion. This report describes 

 how productive areas are maintained and how cer- 

 tain reefs are lost because of municipal and indus- 

 trial wastes. It explains methods and equipment 

 used in harvesting oysters since establishment of the 

 fishery and shows annual landings, their value, and 

 the number of fishermen in the fishery from 1928 

 to 1965.
