FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1925 



249 



14.19 per cent of the quantity and 14.07 per cent of the value were 

 from fishing grounds off the Canadian Provinces. Compared 

 with the previous year, there was some increase in the percentage of 

 products from grounds off the coast of the United States and a de- 

 crease from grounds off Newfoundland and the Canadian Provinces. 

 Newfoundland herring constituted 1.11 per cent of the quantity and 

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

 by fishing vessels 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 shown in detail in the follow- 

 ing table :

SPECIES 



Cod. — In 1925 there were 3 vessels in the salt-bank fishery and 100 

 in the market fishery, or 2 vessels less in each of these fisheries than 

 in 1924. These vessels landed their fares of cod, haddock, and other 

 ground fish at these ports during the year, and large quantities also 

 were landed by vessels fishing on the shore grounds. The catch of 

 cod landed at these ports during the year was 67,250,130 pounds, 

 valued at $2,321,238, of which 64,097,017 pounds, valued at $2,176,319, 

 were landed fresh, and 3,153,113 pounds valued at $144,919 were 

 landed salted. Cod ranked second in both quantity and value among 

 the various species.
