FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES 



(AREA XXII)5 



The most recent complete fishery statistics for the New England 

 States (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and 

 Connecticut) are those collected for the year 1933. In that year the 

 yield of the commercial fisheries amounted to 499,936,139 pounds, 

 valued at $13,485,550 to the fishermen, representing an increase of 4 

 percent in volume, but a decrease of 4 percent in value as compared 

 with the catch of the previous year. Detailed statistics of these 

 fisheries for 1933 appear in "Fishery industries of the United States, 

 1934" Appendi-x II to the Report of the United States Commissioner 

 of Fisheries, 1935. A summary of these fisheries as w^ell as statistics 

 of the vessel fisheries at the principal New^ England ports for 1934 

 and the mackerel fisherj^ of the Atlantic coast for 1934 appear in the 

 following tables. 



5 This is the number given this area by the North American Council on. Fishery Investigations. It 

 should be explained that there are included under this area craft whose principal fishing ports are in the 

 area but at times flsh elsewhere. Notable examples are the ground fish fishery in area XXI and the mackerel 

 and southern trawl fisheries in areas XXIII and XXIV. For a clearer understanding of the statistics 

 published in this section, the reader is referred to the section in the latter part of this document entitled 

 "Statistical survey procedure."
