2 Fiscal year. 



Doubt is cast on the accuracy of catches before 1888, when " hake 

 and haddock " are given together in the detailed statistics, when the 

 total for haddock is perhaps only an estimate, and when certain 

 discrepancies occur in the compilation of the provincial totals to 

 make the Canadian totals. The extreme catch in 1897 is due entirely 

 to one county — Digby — which showed an increase of 400 per cent in 

 the catch with no increase in the fishing equipment. This record is 

 considered doubtful in the 1897 report itself, and we place no reliance 

 on it here. 



The " offshore " catch (defined in the Canadian statistics as that 

 made on trips lasting more than two days) , the inshore catch, and the 

 total are shown in Table 3, all taken from the figures for haddock 

 " caught and landed." The average prices per 100 pounds paid to 

 the fishermen are also shown, as they have a probable bearing on the 

 postwar depression of the catch.
