FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1921. 27 



The catch of cod, haddock, and hake is sold in different grades as 

 landed from the vessels. Cod are sold as large, market, and scrod; 

 haddock as large and scrod; and hake as large and small. It will be 

 noticed in the statistics that the quantity of scrod cod and scrod 

 haddock is very small as compared with that of the other grades of 

 these species. This is said to be due to the fact that the price re- 

 ceived for scrod -cod and scrod haddock is so low that the fishermen 

 do not save all that are caught. The catch of scrod cod landed at 

 these ports during the year was 1,150,577 pounds, valued at $10,844, 

 and of scrod haddock only 30,562 pounds, valued at $535.
