FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1929 967 

 HISTORICAL REVIEW 



Twelve general surveys have been made for statistics of the Gulf 

 States during the 49 years from 1880 to 1928. The catch for 1928, 

 which amounted to 191,007,000 pounds, was greater than that in any 

 year during the period 1880 to 1928, except that in 1927 which 

 amounted to 195,705,000 pounds. Beginning with a catch of 

 23,561,000 pounds in 1880, there has been an almost continuous in- 

 crease throughout the period. Comparative statistics for the catch 

 of each of the more important species are shown in the following 

 tables.
