FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 



The fishery products landed at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and 

 Portland. Mo., by fishing vessels each year are taken principally 

 from fishing grounds lying off the coast of the United States. In 

 the calendar year 1920, 78.88 per cent of the quantity and 79 per 

 cent of the value of the catch landed by American and Canadian 

 fishing vessels were taken from these grounds; 3.35 per cent of the 

 quantity and 4.63 per cent of the value, consisting largely of herring, 

 from fishing banks off the coast of Newfoundland, and 17.75 per cent 

 of the quantity and 16.36 per cent of the value from fisliing grounds 

 oft" the Canadian Provinces. Newfoundland herring constituted 1.73 

 per cent of the quantity and 1.33 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 fish- 

 ing vessels off the coast of the Canadian Provinces were from offshore 

 fisliing grounds. The catch from each of these regions is given in 

 detail in the following table:

COD. 



In 1920 the fishing fleet landing fish at Boston, Gloucester, and 

 Portland was not quite so large as in the previous year. There were 

 20 vessels in the salt-bank fishery, or 11 more than in the previous 

 year, and 111 in the market fishery, the same number as in the 

 previous year. These vessels landed their fares of cod and other
