FISHERIES OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES 
The most recent complete catch statistics of the fisheries for the 
States of the Mississippi River and tributaries are those collected for 
the year 1931. The yield of fishery products in that year amounted 
to 82,382,523 pounds, valued at $2,897,357, which was a decrease of 22 
percent in quantity and 36 percent in value as compared with the 
quantity and value of the catch in 1922, when the most recent pre- 
ceding survey was made. Detailed statistics of the fisheries of the 
Mississippi River and tributaries for 1931 appear in ‘‘Fishery Indus- 
tries of the United States, 1932,” by R. H. Fiedler, Appendix III to 
the Report of the Commissioner of Fisheries for the fiscal year 1933. 
A summary of these fisheries in 1931 has been published in the 
Bureau’s annual reports entitled, ‘Fishery Industries of the United 
States,” by R. H. Fiedler, for the years from 1933 to 1938 inclusive. 
Information regarding the production of cured manufactured products 
in the Mississippi River area in 1931 and of mussel-shell products 
for 1938 appear in the following table. Data on the fisheries of 
Lakes Pepin and Keokuk and the Mississippi River between the two 
Lakes for 1938 are shown in succeeding tables.
