Anadromous and Catadromous Fish 



There are three important anadromous 

 and one catadromous fish in the Passama- 

 quoddy Project area. Alewives and smelts 

 are sought by commercial fishermen, and 

 the salmon is the object of a sports fishery. 

 The eel, a catadromous species, is also 

 caught in small quantities. The value of 

 landings of alewives, smelts, and eels has 



Investments in fishing equipment for these 

 three species do not exceed $1,000. Not 

 more than 6 fishermen are engaged in the 

 alewife fishery in the Dennys River, and less 

 than 50 in the smelt fishery in Cobscook 

 Bay, 



The salmon has no value as a commercial 

 species, but the sports fishery is valued at 

 between $7,000 and $9,000. The catch of 

 salmon in the river during 1948-57 has av- 

 eraged 55 fish, and ranged from 31 to 100 

 fish per year. 



Other anadromous fish, such as lampreys, 

 trout, and tomcod are seldom caught by the 

 commercial or sports fisheries. 



Miscellaneous 



The supply of sandworms represents a 

 potential fishery in the area, for there are 

 concentrations of probable importance in 

 Lubec, Pembroke, and Eastport. In 1958, worm 

 diggers harvested 4,500 worms worth $68 

 in the first organized trial fishery in the 

 area.
