HISTORICAL REVIEW 



Eleven general surveys have been made for statistics of the fisheries 

 of the New England States during the 48 years from 1880 to 1928. 

 These have not been as frequent as might be desired, but a rather 

 clear picture of the trend of the fisheries in this district is obtainable 

 froin the records, which are published in comparable form in the fol- 

 lowing pages. Those years for which statistical surveys have been 

 made are used as a basis for the following discussions. It should be 

 borne in mind, however, that in certain of those years when surveys 

 wej-e not made there may have been unusual fluctuations for certain 

 species. In some of the surveys prior to 1889 the fisheries of certain 

 States were not canvassed, and in certain of the States that were 

 canvassed several of the species were included with "miscellaneous 

 fish," or "all other species." For this reason totals are not usuallv 

 shown prior to 1889.
