PENNSYLVANIA 



The fisheries and industries related to the fisheries of Pennsylvania 

 in 1929 employed 530 persons. This is 18 per cent less than the 

 number employed in these fisheries during 1926, which is the most 

 recent year for which comparable data are available. Of the total 

 number of persons, 53 were fishermen, 356 were engaged in the whole- 

 sale trade, and 121 in manufacturing industries. 



The total catch amounted to 41,904 pounds, valued at $9,388. 

 This is a decrease of 94 per cent in quantity and 79 per cent in value, 

 as compared with the catch and its value in 1926. Of the total catch, 

 that of shad accounted for 52 per cent of the weight and 79 per cent 

 of the value. 



OPERATING UNITS BY GEAR 



The catch of fishery products in Pennsylvania during 1929 was 

 taken by 53 fishermen, who used 20 motor and other small fishing 

 boats and 5 major types of gear. The haul-seine fishery accounted 

 for 37 of these fishermen, and 11 of the small fishing boats.
