NEW HAMPSHIRE 



The fisheries of New Hampshire in 1929 employed 51 persons, which 

 is 4 per cent less than the number employed in 1928. Only 1 trans- 

 porter and 2 wholesale plants were operated in this State; therefore 

 the vessel and the number of persons engaged, salaries and wages, 

 and products of these establishments are included under Maine. 

 The entire number of persons shown above were fishermen. 



The total catch amounted to 378,048 pounds, valued at $52,071. 

 This is an increase of 58 per cent in the catch and 16 per cent in the 

 value of the catch, as compared with the catch and its value in 1928. 

 Of the total value of the catch, lobsters accounted for 80 per cent and 

 haddock 7 per cent. Of the total weight of the catch, lobsters 

 accounted for 33 per cent; haddock, 24 per cent; and alewives, 15 

 per cent. The fisheries of New Hampshire are confined to Rocking- 

 ham County. 



OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR 



The catch of fishery products in the marine waters of New Hamp- 

 shire during 1929 was taken by 51 fishermen, 77 motor and other 

 small fishing boats, and 4 major types of gear. The lobster pot fishery 

 alone accounted for 41 of the fishermen.
