382 U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
The fishery products landed at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and 
Portland, Me., by fishing vessels each year are taken chiefly from 
fishing grounds off the coast of the United States. In the calendar 
year 1926, 83.09 per cent of the quantity and 84.35 per cent of the 
value were from these grounds; 0.69 per cent of the quantity and 
1.79 per cent of the value, consisting principally of cod, halibut, and 
herring, were from fishing banks off the coast of Newfoundland; and 
16.23 per cent of the quantity and 13.86 per cent of the value were 
from fishing grounds off the Canadian Provinces. Compared with 
the previous year there was a small decrease in the percentage of 
products from grounds off the coast of the United States, but a 
slight increase in the percentage of value; a decrease in the percentage 
of both quantity and value from grounds off Newfoundland; and an 
increase in the percentage of quantity, with a decrease in the per- 
centage of value, from grounds off the Canadian Provinces. New- 
foundland herring constituted less than 0.5 per cent of the quantity 
and value of the fishery products landed at these ports by fishing 
vessels during the year. The herring were taken from the treaty 
coast of Newfoundland, and the cod, halibut, and other species from 
that region were obtained from fishing banks on the high seas. All 
fish caught by American fishing vessels off the coasts of the Canadian 
Provinces were from offshore fishing grounds. The catch from each 
of these regions is shown in the following table:
