Assuming that the population has increased at a uniform rate 
during the years for which we have no population statistics, we have 
calculated the number of quintals consumed on the basis of 3 quintals 
per family, or 0.873 quintal per capita. The resulting totals are 
shown in Table 2 in terms of quintals of dry-salted cod and also 
converted to the basis of pounds of fresh round cod, using as factors 
112 pounds to the quintal and 3 quintals of fresh round cod to 1 
quintal of dry-salted cod. 
In addition to the statistics here presented, data are available on 
the number of vessels in and total catch of the vessel fishery for the 
years 1889 to 1904 and on the number of vessels, tonnage, crew, and 
catch for the years 1897 to date. These are published in the annual 
reports of the Department of Marine and Fisheries of Newfoundland 
and are presented here in Table 3. Beginning with 1925, statistics 
are available also on the shore catch of cod in Newfoundland by 
districts.
