33% increase in Lake Superior. A 25% decrease was noted for the Lake Huron 

 fishery and 17% for Lake Ontario. Changes in other areas were of little 

 significance. 



Changes in the value of the catch from the nine areas of the Province 

 parallelled production with the exceptions of Lake Erie, where the 25% increase 

 in landings was accompanied by a 6% drop in value, and the North Channel of 

 Lake Huron where a slight increase in catch and a lower value were noted.
