determined and such landings have 

 appeared in statistical records only 

 as "mixed" fish. 



Since species taken in the industrial 

 (trash) fishery are not recorded sepa- 

 rately in normal commercial practice, 

 we must rely on estimates from sam- 

 plings of the landings. From available 

 sampling data (Edwards, 1958), we can 

 derive an estimated 400,000 pounds of 

 haddock in industrial landings for 

 Gloucester and 13,000 pounds for New 

 Bedford for the 1956 haddock year. No 

 sampling data are available for the 

 Cape Cod, Mass., and Maine industrial 

 fisheries in which some haddock are 

 taken. The total estimate of 413,000 

 pounds landed is thus a minimal figure. 



The 1956 industrial fishery landings 

 of haddock can be divided into areas 

 of capture approximately as follows:

LENGTH COMPOSITION OF CATCH 



Length composition is determined 

 by sampling procedures based upon 

 sample lots consisting of 50 scrod or 

 100 large haddock selected at random 

 from the landings. The lengths given 

 herein represent the distance from tip 

 of snout to the end of the median ray 

 of the caudal fin (fork length). The 

 measurements are recorded to the 

 "centinneter below"; e.g., all fish from 

 39.0 to 39.9 are assigned to the 39 cm. 

 interval. To obtain the true midpoint 

 of the cm. interval, a correction of 

 + 0.5 cm. must be added.
