REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES. 



Classifying the grounds shown in the foregoing tables, it appears that 

 ©f the fishery products landed at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., by 

 American fishing vessels during the year, 59.37 per cent of the cjuantity 

 and 55.79 per cent of the value were from fishing grounds lying directly 

 off the United States; 16.55 per cent of the quantity and 16.97 per 

 cent of the value from grounds off the coast of Newfoundland; 23.91 

 per cent of the quantity and 26.74 per cent of the value from grounds 

 off the Canadian provinces; and less than 1 per cent of the quantity 

 and value from the coasts of Greenland and Labrador. Newfound- 

 land herring constituted 11.92 per cent of the quantity and 9.21 per 

 cent of the value of the products of the vessel fisheries of these ports. 

 The catch of each important species from each of these fishing regions 

 is given in detail in the following table. It should be understood tliat 

 with the exception of herring taken on parts of the Newfoundland 

 coast where United States fishermen have rights under treaty, the 

 fish caught off the coasts of the Canadian provinces and Newfound- 

 land were not obtained in territorial waters, but on the high seas 

 and on grounds which are the common property of all nations.
