U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 



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

 Portland, Me., by fishing vessels each year are taken principally from 

 fishing grounds off the coast of the United States. In the calendar 

 year 1921, 85.39 per cent of the quantity and 77.99 per cent of the 

 value of the catch landed by American and Canadian fishing vessels 

 were from these grounds; 4.08 per cent of the quantity and 7.32 per 

 cent of the value, consisting chiefly of cod, halibut, and herring, were 

 from fishing banks off the coast of Newfoundland; and 10.51 per cent 

 of the quantity and 14.67 per cent of the value from fishing grounds 

 off the Canadian Provinces. There was a considerable falling off in 

 the percentage of products from grounds off the Canadian Provinces, 

 but an increase in those from grounds off the United States and New- 

 foundland. Newfoundland herring constituted less than one-half 

 of 1 per cent of the quantity and value of the fishery products landed 

 at these ports during the year. The herring v/ere 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 

 cojist of the Canadian Provinces were from offshore fishing grounds. 

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

 table :
