FISHERIES OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES 



During 1930, the fisheries of the Virgin Islands of the United States 

 employed 405 fishermen. Their catch amounted to 616,000 pounds 

 of fishery products valued at $49,080 to the fishermen. In making the 

 catch, the fishermen used 1 motor boat, 38 sail boats, and 147 row 

 boats. The gear employed consisted of 40 haul seines, 90 tangle nets 

 (turtle), 113 cast nets, 297 lines, and 1,600 set pots. 



As the fishermen keep no records of their operations, it was impos- 

 sible to separate the catch by species. In general, it may be stated 

 that about one-third of the total catch was made by set pots, one-third 

 by seines, and one- third by lines or other types of gear, and by hand.
