  FISHERY, 
  1970 
  

  

  Landings 
  of 
  Atlantic 
  ocean 
  perch 
  declined 
  for 
  the 
  tenth 
  consecutive 
  year. 
  The 
  harvest 
  of 
  

   55.3 
  million 
  pounds 
  was 
  528,000 
  pounds 
  less 
  than 
  in 
  19 
  69, 
  and 
  203.0 
  million 
  pounds 
  less 
  than 
  the 
  

   record 
  production 
  of 
  1951. 
  However, 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  $2.7 
  million 
  increased 
  $358,000 
  compared 
  with 
  

   1969. 
  

  

  Maine 
  landings 
  of 
  46 
  .7 
  million 
  pounds 
  worth 
  $2.3 
  million 
  were 
  84 
  percent 
  of 
  the 
  volume 
  and 
  

   83 
  percent 
  of 
  the 
  value. 
  Massachusetts 
  accounted 
  for 
  the 
  rest, 
  except 
  for 
  small 
  landings 
  in 
  New 
  

   Hampshire 
  and 
  Rhode 
  Island. 
  Maine 
  and 
  Massachusetts 
  otter 
  trawlers 
  accounted 
  for 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  

   production, 
  with 
  only 
  small 
  amounts 
  taken 
  by 
  handlines 
  and 
  longlines 
  . 
  

  

  Most 
  of 
  the 
  catches 
  were 
  made 
  in 
  waters 
  off 
  New 
  England 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  Gulf 
  of 
  St. 
  Lawrence. 
  

   Some 
  catches 
  were 
  also 
  taken 
  off 
  Nova 
  Scotia.
