FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1922.

Provinces. There was some falling off from the previous year in the 

 percentage of products from o;rounds off the United States, with a 

 small in<?rease in that for Newfoundland and the Canadian Provinces. 

 Ne\vioundland herring constituted 1.44 per cent of the quantity and 

 1.4 per cent of the value of the fishery products landed at these ports 

 during the year. The herring were taken from the treaty coast of 

 Newfoundland, and the cod, haddock, hake, halibut, and other 

 species from that region were obtained from fishing banks on the 

 high seas. All fish caught by American fishing vessels off the coast 

 of the Canadian Provinces were from offshore fishing grounds. The 

 catch from each of these regions is given in detail in the following 

 table :

SPECIES. 



In 1922 there was a decrease of 60 vessels in the fishing fleet land- 

 ing fish at Boston, Gloucester, and Portland, as compared with 1921. 

 There were 17 vessels in the salt-bank fishery, or 6 fewer than in 

 1921, and 94 in the market fishery, or 4 fewer than in 1921. These 

 vessels landed their fares of cod and other ground fish at these ports 

 during the year, and large quantities were also landed by vessels 

 fishing on the shore grounds. The catch of cod landed at these ports 

 during the year was 55,180,165 pounds, valued at $1,635,279, of 

 which 50,17*3,995 pounds, valued at $1,446,727 were landed fresh, 

 and 5,006,170 pounds, valued at $188,552, were landed salted. Cod 

 ranked second in both quantity and value among the various species 

 landed.
