HISTORICAL REVIEW 



Thirteen general surveys have been made for statistics of the 

 fisheries of the Middle Atlantic States during the 50 years from 1880 

 to 1929. The catch for 1880 amounted to 408,202,000 pounds, the 

 largest on record. Since that time the catch has continued to de- 

 crease with the second smallest catch on record shown for 1929 when 

 190,773,00 pounds were taken. Comparative statistics for each of 

 the more important species taken are shown in the following tables:
