Part 2. FISHERY STATISTICS 
GENERAL REVIEW 
Based upon available statistics for 1935, there was a large increase 
in the catch of fishery products in the United States and Alaska as 
compared with that of 1933. Statistics of the catch were collected for 
both 1933 and 1935 in the important New England, Middle Atlantic, 
Chesapeake, and Pacific sections and in Alaska, and when considering 
the combined catch of these sections alone, an ‘increase of 45 percent 
in the volume and 34 percent in the value of the catch is indicated 
over 1933. Only three sections were surveyed in both 1934 and 1935. 
These were the Chesapeake and Pacific States, and Alaska. The 
Pacific States showed increases in both the quantity and value of the 
catch in the more recent year while decreases were reflected in the 
catches of the other two sections. 
The total annual catch of fishery products in the United States and 
Alaska as based on the most recent surveys, amounted to 4,152,349,000 
pounds, valued at $80,121,000. About 125,000 fishermen were em- 
ployed in making this catch. 
In 1935 in the United States and Alaska, the production of canned 
fishery products amounted to 672,755,960 pounds, valued at $74,999,- 
034; the output of byproducts was valued at $29,839,277; and the 
production of frozen fishery products (excluding frozen ‘packaged fish 
and shellfish), amounted to 93,566,495 pounds, estimated to be valued 
at $8,600,000. Based on the ‘most recent surveys the production of
