49 FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 
The fishery products landed at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and 
Portland, Me., by fishing vessels each year are taken principally 
from fishing grounds lying off the coast of the United States. In 
the calendar year 1920, 78.88 per cent of the quantity and 79 per 
cent of the value of the catch landed by American and Canadian 
fishing vessels were taken from these grounds; 3.35 per cent of the 
quantity and 4.63 per cent of the value, consisting largely of herring, 
from fishing banks off the coast of Newfoundland, and 17.75 per cent 
of the quantity and 16.36 per cent of the value from fishing grounds 
off the Canadian Provinces. Newfoundland herring constituted 1.73 
per cent of the quantity and 1.33 per cent of the value of the fishery 
products landed at these ports during the year. The herring were 
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 fish- 
ing vessels off the coast of the Canadian Provinces were from offshore 
fishing grounds. The catch from each of these regions is given in 
detail in the following table:

coD. 
In 1920 the fishing fleet landing fish at Boston, Gloucester, and 
Portland was not quite so large as in the previous year. There were 
20 vessels in the salt-bank fishery, or 11 more than in the previous 
year, and 111 in the market fishery, the same number as in the 
previous year. These vessels landed their fares of cod and other
