FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1926 387 
DAYS’ ABSENCE 
Statistics of the number of days’ absence of vessels on fishing 
trips from Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., have 
been collected for 1926. The days absent on each trip were reckoned 
to include the date of departure and date of arrival. The number 
of days occupied in fishing by all vessels was 44,236, or an average 
of 5.09 days per trip. The number of days occupied in fishing by 
otter trawlers was 5,336, or an average of 8 days per trip. The 
number of days occupied in fishing and the average number of days 
per trip by all vessels and also by otter trawlers, separately, differ 
but little from the previous year. Statistics of the number of days 
absent from port during the year are presented by months, fishing 
grounds, and ports for all vessels, including otter trawlers, and for 
otter trawlers separately, in the following tables:
