As indicative of the trend of important fisheries common to the 
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts the following table is of interest. 
In view of the present high degree of development of the fisheries in 
these sections, it is becoming increasingly important that frequent 
statistical inventories be made to supply information as to whether 
these fisheries are being endangered and as to the needs for restrictive 
measures to safeguard the harvests of the future.
