THE MENHADEN INDUSTRY. 
Fisliiug for meuliadeii is prosecuted in all tlie States of this region except Penn- 
sylvania. The fishery is more important than in any of the other coast sections, and 
the shore industry dependent thereon is one of the most prominent branches of the 
fisheries in the Middle Atlantic States. 
The industry is most extensive in New York and Virginia. The former State has 
the larger investment in the business and the greater number of steam vessels engaged, 
but the latter leads in the number of factories, the number of persons, the aggregate 
number of vessels engaged, and the quantity of fish taken. In Delaware the fishing 
is carried on by several steam vessels belonging in Connecticut and landing a part of 
their catch at the two factories in Delaware. The vessels and their equipment and 
crews are credited to Connecticut, and do not appear in the accompanying statistics.
