Fishery Statistics of the United States and Alaska are compiled and published annually to make

available information on both the economic and biological aspects of the domestic commercial fisheries.

Data on the economic aspects are necessary to persons engaged in the commercial fishery and

to governmental agencies concerned with its regulation and protection. Those here given cover the

total catch and value by species, the yield and value of manufactured products and byproducts, the

employment of men, craft, and gear in the capture of fishery products; and related information.

From the biological standpoint these data are important to sound fishery management in providing

detailed information on fluctuations in the commercial catch by species, locality, and gear, and type of

craft operated. They assisted conservation agencies in regulating the commercial fisheries so as to

produce maximum yields without depletion.

Previous statistical reports on the fishery industries were issued under the Department of the

Interior in the Administrative Report series for 1938 and in the Statistical Digest series for succeeding

years. Reports for preceding years were issued in the Administrative Report series of the former Bureau

of Fisheries.

PREFACE

This report contains a review of the fishery statistics for the year 1958 collected during 1958 and

1959 by the Branch of Statistics, Division of Industrial Research and Services. These statistics in-

clude data on the volume and value of the catch of fishery products, employment in the fisheries, quan-

tity of gear operated, numberof fishing craft employed in the capture of fishery products, and information

on the volume and value of the production of manufactured fishery products and byproducts.

In assembling the data on the fisheries, all appropriate records collected by the various State

fishery agencies were used. In certain areas, information complete enough to be used by the statistical

agents was available from State agencies, and in these States only partial surveys were conducted. In-

formation on the means of collecting the data and an explanation of terms used may be found in Section

14 of this publication. Statistics on the imports and exports of fishery products were furnished by the

Bureau of the Census.

Complete statistical surveys covering the fisheries of the United States and Alaska were conducted

in all areas for 1958. Section 14 of this publication contains a chart indicating the areas for which

statistical surveys have been conducted from 1880 to 1958. The 1958 survey was the eighth complete

annual survey made for all sections. The first was made by the Bureau of the Census for 1908- Others

were made by the former Bureau of Fisheries and the Fish and Wildlife Service for the years 1931, 1950,

and for the years 1954 to 1958 inclusive.

To assist persons interested in reviewing historical statistics of the domestic fisheries a bibliogra-

phy was published in "Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1956," listing the sources of data on the

fisheries of the various regions of the United States for the years from 1880 to 1956.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL REVIEW

The yield of the commercial fisheries of the United States and Alaska in 1958 totaled 4,735,845,000

pounds valued at 370,679,000 dollars to the fishermen. Compared with the previous year the catch was

down 43 million pounds or 1 percent in volume. However, the value was up 20 million dollars, or 6 per-

cent. The average price paid to fishermen for fishery products in 1958 was 7.8 cents per pound -nearly

one half cent more than in 1957. The decline in the catch was caused by sharp reductions in the catch

of menhaden, Pacific and jack mackerel, Alaska herring, anchovies, whiting, and unclassified species

taken for reduction and animal food. Items taken in considerably greater volume than in 1957 were Pa-

cific sardines, salmon, tuna, and alewives.

Menhaden ranked first in volume among the species taken by United States fishermen, yielding a

catch of 1.5 billion pounds — 33 percent of the total production. The catch was 141 million pounds less

than in 1957 and 548 million pounds under the 1956 record production. Landings of menhaden were down

over 300 million pounds in the New England and Middle Atlantic States, compared with 1957. Increased

landings in other areas were not sufficient to overcome the decline in northern waters. Unusually large

catches of menhaden in Chesapeake Bay resulted in a 55 million-pound gain in the Virginia landings

compared with 1957. Good weather off North Carolina in December boosted the catch in the South At-

lantic States by 48 million pounds. In the Gulf the trend to larger vessels with refrigeration equipment

and greater availability of fish resulted in an 80 million-pound increase in the catch.

The United States tuna fishery went through a period of considerably more change in 1958 than

was indicated by the catch of 319 million pounds, which was up 8 percent compared with the previous

year. California tuna seiners had a record year. The use of mechanical power blocks was an important

factor in improving the efficiency of seining operations. Seines were lengthened up to 30 fathoms, and

more nylon was used in place of cotton, especially in parts of the seine requiring maximum strength.

Cork floats were replaced with more satisfactory synthetic floats. Seven new purse seiners, all converted

tuna clippers, entered the fleet in 1958. Tuna clippers and bait boats — the backbone of the Pacific

Coast tuna fleet— took more fish than in 1957. The increase was due to a gain of 27 million pounds in

the catch of skipjack, more than enough to compensate for a 15 million-pound decline in the production

of yellowfin. Despite the increase in the total catch, the necessity of securing live bait and making

long trips to South America made switching over to seining nearby schools of tuna attractive. The dis-

advantage was the cost of remodeling, which was from 60 thousand to 100 thousand dollars. The Cali-

fornia albacore fishery declined sharply in 1958. The fish were present in the areas where they are

normally found but usually not in sufficient quantity for profitable operations. In the Pacific Northwest,

however, the catch of these fish was the best since 1948. An average domestic catch of tuna in 1958,

and by far the largest imports of frozen tuna and cooked loins and discs, resulted in a record pack of

canned tuna amounting to 14.1 million standard cases.

The 1958 catch of shrimp (214 million pounds, valued at nearly 73 million dollars) yielded more

revenue to United States and Alaskan fishermen than any other species. Although shrimp represented

less than 5 percent of the volume of the total catch, they accounted for nearly 20 percent of the value.

The 1958 shrimp catch was up 10 million pounds compared with the previous year. The increase wasdue entirely to the development of the ocean fishery for small cocktail-size shrimp off Washington and

Oregon and in Alaska. The catch in these areas (16 million pounds) was up 11 million pounds, while

the South Atlantic and Gulf production was 1 million pounds less than in 1957. The failure of the shrimp

run in North Carolina was largely responsible for a decline of 6 million pounds in the South Atlantic

States. Greater landings in the central Gulf were due chiefly to increased availability of white shrimp

in Louisiana. Inshore and offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico accounted for 81 percent of the volume

and 88 percent of the value of the 1958 shrimp catch. While the catch of these shellfish in the Pacific

Coast States and Alaska accounted for 8 percent of the poundage taken, it accounted for only 1 percent

of the value.

The 1958 salmon catch in the three Pacific Coast States and Alaska amounted to 307 million

pounds, valued at nearly 46 million dollars to the fishermen-- an increase of 42 million pounds and 6

million dollars compared with 1957. The increase was due to a gain of nearly 67 million pounds in the

Alaskan pink salmon production. The catch of these fish in Southeastern Alaska was nearly double that

of the previous year, while in Central Alaska it was up 125 percent. Even in Bristol Bay, where pink

GENERAL REVIEW

salmon are seldom taken in volume, a surprising run occurred resulting in a Western Alaskan catch of

over 8 million pounds. As expected, few pink salmon (23 thousand pounds) were taken in.Puget Sound,

since they occur in these waters, in volume, only in odd-numbered years. In 1957 over 17 million pounds

were landed in the Sound. The 1958 total catch of red or sockeye salmon was almost identical with that

of the previous year. However, in Alaska the catch was the smallest since before the turn of the century,

while Puget Sound fishermen shared in the largest Fraser River sockeye run since 1913. The Washington

catch of these fish was 32.6 million pounds -nearly four times the quantity taken the previous year. The

1958 pack of canned salmon in the United States and Alaska, amounting to 3,731,960 cases valued at

93,821,722 dollars to the packers, was considerably better than in 1957. However, it was the fifth pack

since 1907 that failed to reach 4 million cases.

The return of sardines to California waters, after a partial absence since 1951, resulted in a catch

of 207 million pounds -four-and-one-half times the 1957 production. Purse seiners and lampara rigs

enjoyed excellent fishing from the opening of the commercial season until it closed. The fish were

consistently smaller than in 1957 but were acceptable for canning. Although the catch was the best in

recent years, it was far below the more than a billion-pound average for the years from 1934 to 1945 or

even the 715 million-pound catch taken in 1950. The 1958 sardine pack totaled 2,223,000 standard cases,

compared with less than 500,000 cases the previous year. In 1953, at the low point in the fishery, the

pack amounted to only 64,000 cases. However, the record pack canned in 1950, long after the fishery

had passed its peak, totaled 5.1 million cases.

Pacific and jack mackerel were scarce during all of 1958. Small, widely scattered schools were

present but not in quantities for good purse-seining. The catch of Pacific mackerel, amounting to 28

million pounds, was 34 million pounds less than in 1957. Jack mackerel suffered an even more pro-

nounced decline, dropping from 82 million pounds in 1957 to only 22 million pounds in 1958. The reduced

landings of mackerel resulted in a canned pack of only 404,425 standard cases, compared with 1,326,584

cases in 1957 and a 1947-1956 average of 1,076,000 cases.

The 1958 California anchovy catch of less than 12 million pounds, nearly 30 million pounds less

than in 1957, was a distinct disappointment to canners. The shortage came as the fish were winning

increased acceptance as a canned product and when there was a good demand for them for use in pet

food. In addition to being scarce, the fish averaged below the size desired to produce a good pack.

The canned pack of anchovies amounted to only 53,735 cases (1,679,219 pounds) — only 9 percent of the

average pack canned during the previous five years.

The 1958 catch of sea herring, the fourth ranking item in the United States fisheries, amounted to

279 million pounds— 1 percent under the previous year's production. While there was little change in the

total catch, there was wide variation between areas. In Maine, where most of these fish are canned as

sardines or in pet food, the landings of 171 million pounds was 17 million more than in 1957. In Alaska,

where nearly all of the herring taken are reduced into meal and oil, only 89 million pounds were landed,

compared with 118 million pounds the previous year. In addition to the domestic catch of herring landed

in Maine, nearly 39 million pounds were imported into the State from Canada— 17 million pounds less

than in 1957. Most of these fish were canned for pet food or manufactured into meal and oil. Despite

increased imports of sea herring from Canada into Maine, there was a market for Maine sea herring in

Canada, and over 14 million pounds of the fish were exported to Canadian packers.

The 1958 North Pacific halibut catch by United States and Canadian craft totaled 65 million pounds

(dressed weight) -nearly 3 million pounds more than in 1957. United States fishermen took 36.0 million

pounds-1,3 million pounds less than in the previous year—while Canadian fishermen increased their catch

from 25 million to 29 million pounds. The Canadian catch accounted for 45 percent of the total pro-

duction—the highest percentage in history, and the largest tonnage ever taken by the Canadians. Toencourage utilization of stocks of halibut west of the Shumagin Islands and in the Bering Sea, the Inter-

national Pacific Halibut Commission permitted fishing in these waters during April and again in the fall.

Vessels taking advantage of the open season in these areas took nearly 5 million pounds of halibut.

Canadian fishermen continued the trend toward landing part of their catch in Alaskan ports and at Seattle.

In 1958 these landings amounted to 5.1 million pounds — more than double the amount landed at these

ports in 1957.

GENERAL REVIEW

New England groundfish landings (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, pollock and ocean perch) picked up

in 1958 with a combined catch of 349 million pounds -- 5 percent above the low 1957 production. Increased

landings of cod, pollock and ocean perch were sufficientto overcome a sharp drop in haddock production.

Even more gratifying than the greater catch was the considerable increase in price that occurred during

the year. Fishermen received nearly 23 million dollars for their landings of groundfish — 22 percent more

than in 1957. On the dark side was the low catch of haddock amounting to only 120 million pounds, the

smallest production since 1924, and 41 percent of the record catch taken in 1929. I andings of scrod

(small) haddock in 1958 fell below those of large haddock for the first time since 1949. It was evident

that small year-classes had entered the fishery. Bureau biologists indicated that relief could not be

expected before 1960. Also disheartening to the groundfish industry was the continued growth of imports

of groundfish fillets, which reached a record 163 million pounds. The domestic production of groundfish

fillets in 1958 was 99.1 million pounds- slightly less than in 1939, when statistics first became avail-

able on imports of these fillets. In that year less than 10 million pounds were imported. Thus, while

the domestic industry in 1958 produced the same quantity of fillets as in 1939, imports during this period

increased 1,648 percent.

Only 66 million pounds of oyster meats were harvested in 1958 — probably the smallest quantity

taken in any year for well over one hundred years. Poor setting of spat and extensive damage by pred-

ators in New England, extensive oyster mortality in Middle Atlantic waters, and a sharp decrease in

Maryland and Louisiana production, were responsible for the decline. In the New England and Middle

Atlantic States, where the decline was most pronounced, 4.6 million pounds of oyster meats were har-

vested in 1958, compared with an average of 18.2 million pounds during the five-year period from 1950

to 1954 inclusive.

The following table contains recorded production for the areas in which surveys were made for

the years shown and estimated for other regions. Data have been collected on the catch in all areas

for the years following 1953.

GENERAL REVIEW

San Pedro, California, which has been the leading fish landing port of the United States for many

years, was again in first place in 1958 with respect to both volume and ex-vessel value. Total landings

in the San Pedro area during 1958, consisting largely of tuna, jack and Pacific mackerel, anchovies,

and sardines, amounted to 379.9 million pounds, valued at 29.3 million dollars. Lewes, Delaware, a

menhaden port, was in second place with landings amounting to about 270.0 million pounds. Reedville,

Virginia, ranked third with landings of 236.9 million pounds, mainly menhaden. Gloucester, Massa-

chusetts, was in fourth place with landings totaling 230.2 million pounds, consisting largely of ocean

perch, whiting, and industrial fish. San Diego, California, was in second place with respect to the

ex-vessel value of landings (over 16 million dollars); followed by New Bedford, Massachusetts, with

13.8 million dollars. The predominance of high-priced tuna in the San Diego landings, and sea scallops

and flounders in the New Bedford receipts, accounted for the high rank of these ports with respect to

value, although the volume was much less than at some other ports. Landings at a number of non-foodfish

ports not previously mentioned indicate that several rank as leading ports. Included among these were

Beaufort-Morehead City, North Carolina; Pascagoula, Mississippi; Cameron, Louisiana; and Empire,

Louisiana- all important menhaden ports.

About 55 percent of the 1958 catch was used for human food. Most of the remainder was used in

the manufacture of fish meal for chicken food, and fish oil for industrial use or export to Western Europe

for the production of margarine. Other non-human food uses of fish and shellfish include feeding to

fur-bearing animals and pets, and for use in the manufacture of buttons.

It is estimated that the 1958 catch was marketed as follows: 1,541 million pounds (round weight)

as fresh and frozen, 1,210 million pounds for canning, 85 million pounds for cured products, and 1,900

million pounds for manufacture into industrial products. About 680 million pounds of waste from filleting,

canning, and otherwise preparing fish for market were also used in the manufacture of industrial products.

The per capita consumption of fish and shellfish in the United States amounted to 10.4 pounds

(edible weight) during 1958 — slightly higher than the previous year. Consumption of canned fishery

products registered the gain in 1958. Principal canned items consumed were tuna, salmon and sardines.

Canned fishery products were packed by 372 firms in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto

Rico, and American Samoa in 1958. The pack amounted to over 1,099 million pounds valued at nearly

389 million dollars to the packers — an increase of 11 percent in volume and 16 percent in value compared

with the previous year. The pack consisted of 738 million pounds of fish and shellfish canned for human

food and 361 million pounds canned for use as animal food and bait. Packs of salmon, Pacific sardines,

tuna, and shrimp were higher than for the previous year, and were responsible for the increase in volume

and value of the items canned for human food.

Industrial fishery products were manufactured by 207 plants in 1958. The production of fish meal

and scrap amounted to 248 thousand tons— 16 thousand tons less than in 1957. There were 22 million

gallons of fish and fish-liver oils produced in 1958 — nearly 2 million gallons more than in the previous

year. The production of fish solubles and homogenized.condensed fish, totaling 260 million pounds,

was 6 percent more than in 1957.

During 1958, the production of fresh and frozen packaged fish fillets and steaks in the United

States totaled 155.9 million pounds valued at 51.2 million dollars to the processors. Compared with

1957, this represented an increase of 1.4 million pounds in volume and nearly 4.5 million dollars in value.

Fillets of Atlantic ocean perch, flounder, and haddock— the principal items produced— accounted for

65 percent of the volume and 62 percent of the value.

A total of 322.2 million, pounds of fishery products was frozen by approximately 300 domestic

freezing plants which reportedtheir activities to the Bureau during 1958. Of the total, 232 million pounds

consisted of fish and 90 million pounds, shellfish. Leading products frozen were shrimp, fillets and

steaks (consisting principally of haddock and ocean perch), various species for bait and animal food,

halibut, and dressed whiting. It is estimated that the live weight of the items frozen amounted to 542

million pounds.

GENERAL REVIEW

United States foreign trade in fishery products in 1958 was valued at over 358 million dollars, of

which 327 million dollars represented the value of products imported for consumption, a record, and 31

million dollars the value of exports of domestic fishery products. The value of fishery imports entered

for consumption in 1958 was 10 percent greater than in the previous year, while the value of exports of

domestic fishery products was 14 percent less. The previous high year was 1957, when the fishery im-

ports were valued at 297 million dollars. Among the more important items received in greater volume

during 1958 were frozen tuna, shrimp, and fresh and frozen groundfish fillets and steaks. During 1958,

imports of groundfish and ocean perch fillets, including blocks and slabs, and receipts classified as

bits and pieces, were estimated to have totaled a record 163 million pounds, compared with a domestic

domestic production of only 99.1 million pounds.

There were 684 vessels documented as fishing vessels for the first time in 1958 compared with 601

vessels in the previous year-- a gain of 14 percent. The increase in newly-documented fishing craft

during 1958 occurred mainly in the Gulf States.

Detailed summaries of the catch and operating unit data for the United States and Alaska have

been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2210. Summaries of operating unit and catch

statistics for each region of the United States and for Alaska also have been previously printed in the

Current Fishery Statistics series of bulletins. Of importance also to those interested in the most recent

fishery data available is the annual publication "Fisheries of the United States and Alaska, A Preliminary

Review," (Fishery Leaflet 393) which is available in April of each year. It contains preliminary data

on many aspects of the fisheries for the previous calendar year, with comparative data for previous years.

This publication may be obtained free from the Office of Information, United States Fish and Wildlife

Service, Washington 25, D. C.

A list of current statistical publications of the Bureau, containing data on the domestic fisheries,

is included in Fishery Leaflet No. 432 entitled "Fishery Statistical Publications of the Bureau of Com-

mercial fisheries." The publication also lists other Federal agencies, interstate commissions, and

international and non-governmental sources of fishery statistics. Copies of this leaflet may likewise be

obtained free from the Division of Information.

GENERAL REVIEW

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA CATCH, 1958

LIVE WEIGHT BASIS

In its annual summary bulletins, it has been the practice of the Bureau to show the catch of uni-

valve and bivalve mollusks on the basis of the weight of meats. Insofar as possible, all other fish and

shellfish items are shown on a live weight basis.

Since world fishery statistics published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United

Nations represent the live weight of the catch for all items of fish and shellfish, it has been necessary

to provide that organization with information on the domestic catch of all species on a live weight basis.

Data released by the Food and Agriculture Organization, therefore, indicate that the 1958 United States

catch was 1.2 billion pounds greater than the figure appearing in Fish and Wildlife Service publications.

The increase is due to the inclusion of the weight of the shells of univalve and bivalve mollusks in the

Food and Agriculture Organization data.

It has been deemed desirable to include in this report a table showing the domestic catch on a live

weight basis and to publish information on the catch of fishery products in the principal countries

of the world so that the relative importance of the domestic fisheries can be determined. Tables con-

taining these data follow.

GENERAL REVIEW

WORLD CATCH OF FISH, CRUSTACEANS, MOLLUSKS, ETC.,

BY COUNTRIES, 1958

The world's total commercial catch of fish and shellfish in 1958 increased 8.3 billion pounds over

1957, according to the "Year Book of Fishery Statistics" released by the Food and Agriculture Organi-

zation of the United Nations. Japan, with a catch of 12.1 billion pounds, continued to be the largest

producer of sea fish. The total 1958 catch was 74.3 billion pounds live weight - about 30 billion pounds

more than in 1938 or 1948, just before and after World War II. The 5.8 billion-pound catch taken in the

U. S. S. R. during 1958 established a record in that country. Included in the 1958 total is an estimated

13 billion-pound production of sea and fresh-water fish by Mainland China. This figure has been re-

leased by the Government of that country and represents a 100-percent increase over the 1957 reported

catch.

Asia had nearly 50 percent of the world's total catch. Japan contributed 33.8 percent of the Asian

total. European fishermen, excluding those from Russia, caught more than 22 percent of the world total

and North Americans about 12 percent. The U. S. S. R. reported catches amounting to almost 8 percent

of the world total.

Eight countries accounted for almost 60 percent of the world's total catch in 1958. Japan's 1958

catch reached a level she had not hoped to realize before I960. The United States, Mainland China,

artd the U. S. S. R. each caught nearly 6 billion pounds of sea fish in 1958. Norway produced over 3

billion pounds and India, Canada, and the United Kingdom followed with over 2 billion pounds each.

Herring, menhaden, sardines, and anchovies were the most important group, accounting for about

20 percent of the world catch. Sixteen percent were fresh-water fish, more than double the amount caught

before World War II. Cod, hake, and haddock accounted for 13 percent of the total. In most groups catches

were above prewar level. However, this was not the case for salmon, trout, and smelt, which are com-mercially important though not a very large group in quantity. About one-half the 1958 total catch wasmarketed fresh or frozen; about one-quarter was cured by drying, smoking, salting, or marinating; about

14 percent was used to make fish meal and oil; 9 percent was canned; and the small remainder was used

for other purposes.

GENERAL REVIEW

UNITED STATES CATCH OFF FOREIGN COASTS

United States fishermen, in 1958, took 481 million pounds of fish and shellfish, valued at about

59 million dollars, on the high seas off the coasts of foreign countries. This was 10 percent of the total

catch taken during the year and, as considerable quantities of relatively high-priced tuna and shrimp

were included, 16 percent of the total ex-vessel value received by domestic fishermen.

California fishermen took 39 percent of their catch on the high seas off Central and South America —

nearly all tuna. These fish accounted for 57 percent of the value of the total catch taken by California

fishermen. Fifteen percent of the New England catch was taken off Canada, 5 percent of the Gulf catch

off Mexico, and 5 percent of the Washington, Oregon, and Alaskan catch off British Columbia and Cen-

tral America.

Tuna was the principal item taken off foreign coasts, followed by ocean perch, shrimp, and haddock.

These items accounted for over 90 percent of the catch off foreign coasts.

GENERAL REVIEW

MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS

The production of manufactured products (canned, packaged, cured, and byproducts) in the United

States, Alaska, American Samoa, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico in 1958 was valued at 795 million dollars.

This was an increase of nearly 73 million dollars compared with the previous year. Canned products

accounted for 49 percent of the total value; packaged fish and shellfish, 36 percent; cured fish, 5 per-

cent; and byproducts, 10 percent.

During 1958, the production of fresh and frozen packaged fish and shellfish amounted to 513 mil-

lion pounds valued at 285 million dollars to the packers. Compared with the previous year, the 1958

production represented an increase of 7 percent in both volume and value. Breaded shellfish, fish sticks,

breaded fillets and portions accounted for the increase. The 1958 pack of canned fishery products a-

mounted to 1,099 million pounds valued at nearly 389 million dollars to the producers. It consisted of

738 million pounds of fish and shellfish canned for human consumption and 361 million pounds canned

for use as animal food and bait. The 1958 pack of tuna which amounted to 14,094,000 standard cases,

valued at 162 million dollars, exceeded any other item for human consumption and set a record for both

volume and value. The pack of canned salmon amounted to 3,732,000 standard cases, valued at 93 mil-

lion dollars to the canners. Compared with 1957, this was an increase of 16 percent in volume and 8

percent in value. The 1958 pack of Pacific sardines amounted to 2,223,000 standard cases, valued at

over 16 million dollars at the producers' level. This represented an increase of 347 percent in volume

and 249 percent in value.

The 1958 production of fishery byproducts in the United States and Alaska was valued at nearly

80 million dollars- 2 percent less than in the previous year. The yield of fish meal and scrap (248,000

tons), valued at nearly 32 million dollars was down 6 percent in volume and 2 percent in value compared

with 1957 and was 48 thousand tons or 16 percent below the record 1956 production. During 1958 over

22 million gallons of marine-animal oils valued at 12 million dollars were produced. Compared v\ith the

previous year this was an increase of 8 percent in volume, while the value was 2 percent less. Theyield of fish solubles and homogenized-condensed fish (260 million pounds) was about 16 million pounds

greater than in the previous year. Among other important byproducts produced during 1958 were oyster-

shell, marine pearl-shell and mussel-shell products valued at 11 million dollars.

Some of the products shown in the following tables may have been manufactured from raw products

imported from foreign countries; therefore, they cannot be correlated directly with the catch within the

United States and its territories. The lime and poultry feed manufactured from shell products were pro-

duced from oyster shells that are not included in the catch statistics.

GENERAL REVIEW

CANNED FISHERY PRODUCTS AND BYPRODUCTS

The pack of canned fishery products in the United States, Alaska, American Samoa, Hawaii, and

Puerto Rico in 1958 totaled nearly 1.1 billion pounds valued at 388.6 million dollars to the packers --an

increase of 11 percent in volume and over 16 percent in value compared with that of the previous year.

The pack consisted of 738 million pounds of fish and shellfish packed for human food and 361 million

pounds packed for use as animal food and bait. The packs of salmpn, Pacific sardines, tuna, and shrimp

were considerably greater than in the previous year and were responsible for the increase in the volume

canned for human food.

The pack of tuna totaled a record 14.1 million standard cases (277 million pounds) valued at a new

high of 162 million dollars. Both the volume and value of the pack was up 19 percent compared with

the 1957 production. The pack of white meat (albacore tuna) was 19 percent less than in 1957, due to

reduced California catches and a decrease in imports of these fish. As a result of sharply increased

catches and imports of other species, the pack of light meat tuna was up 34 percent. Forty -six percent

of the total 1958 runa pack was canned from imported fish.

The 1958 pack of canned salmon amounted to 3.7 million standard cases (179 million pounds)

valued at 93 million dollars to the canners-an increase of 16 percent in volume and 8 percent in value

compared with that of the previous year. The pack canned in Alaska amounted to 3.0 million cases and

in the Pacific Coast States 761 thousand cases. Packs of chum and red salmon in Alaska were off

sharply, while the 1958 pack of pink salmon was over twice that of the previous year. In the Pacific

Coast States, packs of chum and red salmon were up sharply while those of chinook and silver salmon

were down. The pack of pink salmon was of minor significance since these fish occur in volume only

in odd -numbered years.

The pack of Pacific and jack mackerel totaled 404 thousand standard cases (18 million pounds)

valued at 2.7 million dollars — down 70 percent in volume and 64 percent in value compared with the

previous year. The lower pack of these two species was due to a scarcity of fish, and fishermen turn-

ing to more remunerative sardine fishing.

The California pack of anchovies totaled 54 thousand standard cases (1.7 million pounds) valued

at 309 thousand dollars — a sharp decline from the previous year's pack of 440 thousand cases. Scarcity

of fish was the main cause of the decline. A contributing factor was that the fleet turned to the Pacific

sardine fishery, since these fish were available in greater abundance.

The 1958 production of Maine sardines totaled 2.1 million standard cases (49 million pounds)

valued at 15.9 million dollars to the packers. The volume of the pack was 5 percent lower than that

in 1957; however, the value was 8 percent greater. In California, the pack of Pacific sardines in-

creased from less than 500 thousand cases in 1957 to over 2 million cases valued at 16.5 million dol-

lars in 1958. The large increase was due to a greater abundance of sardines and the fact that the fleet

operated throughout the season without tie-ups.

The canning of natural pack oysters amounted to 399 thousand standard cases (5.6 million pounds)

valued at 5.4 million dollars to the canners. This was a decline of 20 percent in volume compared with

the 1957 production. The decline occurred in the Gulf Coast States. Production of oyster stew totaled

133 thousand standard cases (6.4 million pounds) in 1958 -down 9 percent compared with that of the

previous year.

The pack of canned shrimp totaled 954 thousand cases (14.3 million pounds) valued at 20.8 million

dollars. This was an increase of 57 percent in volume and 58 percent in value. The pack in the South

Atlantic and Gulf States (the major production area) amounted to 808 thousand cases — an increase of 45percent over the preceding year's pack due to the return of the while shrimp to the Central Gulf Area.

Production in the Pacific Coast States and Alaska (146 thousand cases) was up 196 percent. This wasdue to locating and exploiting new shrimp grounds off Washington, Oregon, and Alaska.

GENERAL REVIEW

The pack of whole or minced clams decreased to 635 thousand standard cases in 1958 compared

with 654 thousand cases produced during the previous year. The production of clam chowder, principal

clam product canned, totaled almost 1.2 million cases-nearly 31 thousand cases less than in 1957.

The pack of all canned clam products was valued at 12.6 million dollars to the canners.

Canning of fish for animal food continued to gain in 1958 with a pack of over 7.5 million cases

(360 million pounds) valued at 42.0 million dollars. This was an increase of 4 percent in volume and

23 percent in value compared with the previous year's production. Only the packs of tuna and salmon

yielded canners a greater return.

The production of fish meal in 1958 amounted to 248 thousand tons— 16 thousand tons less than

was produced in 1957. There were 22 million gallons of fish and fish-liver oils manufactured in 1958 —

nearly 1.7 million gallons more than in the previous year. The reduced production of meal resulted from

smaller landings of menhaden and Alaska herring, while the gain in the yield of oil was caused by

greater fat content of menhaden. The production of fish solubles and homogenized -condensed fish

totaled 260 million pounds valued at 11.5 million dollars.

Other important byproducts produced during the year included marine pearl-shell, oyster shell,

and fresh- water mussel shell products, valued at 11.4 million dollars, and agar-agar, seaweed prod-

ucts, glue, liquid fertilizer and pearl essence, valued at nearly 13 million dollars.

GENERAL REVIEW

PACKAGED FISH

The total production of fresh and frozen packaged fish fillets and steaks in the United States during

1958 totaled 155.9 million pounds valued at 51.2 million dollars to the processors, compared with 154.5

million pounds and 46.8 million dollars in the previous year.

Atlantic ocean perch fillets (43.6 million pounds valued at 10.6 million dollars) and haddock fil-

lets (33.4 million pounds valued at 11.6 million dollars) were the principal items produced in 1958 and

accounted for 49 percent of the total volume and 43 percent of the total value. The New England area

led all others in the production of packaged fish during 1958 and accounted for 111 million pounds in

volume or 71 percent of the total.

It is estimated that 453 million pounds of round fish were required to produce the 155.9 million

pounds of packaged fish manufactured in the United States during 1958.

Data in this section cannot be correlated directly with information published in the section on

Manufactured Fishery Products, as that section contains a small production in Alaska which is not in-

cluded in the following tables. Preliminary data on the production of packaged fish during 1958 were

published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2016.

GENERAL REVIEW

FROZEN FISHERY TRADE

A total of 322.2 million pounds of fish and shellfish was frozen by approximately 300 domestic

freezing plants which reported their activities to the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries during 1958. It

was estimated that a catch of approximately 541.7 million pounds of fish and shellfish was required to

produce the 322.2 million pounds of round, dressed, and drawn fish, fish fillets, and packaged shellfish

frozen during 1958. Frozen fish amounted to 231.7 million pounds and shellfish 90.5 million pounds.

Leading products frozen during 1958 were shrimp (78.7 million pounds); fillets, principally haddock and

ocean perch (65.9 million pounds); bait and animal food (54.4 million pounds); halibut (32.1 million

pounds); and headed and gutted whiting (29.1 million pounds).

New England led all other areas in quantity of fishery products frozen during 1958, accounting

for 140.6 million pounds. The South Central area was second with 59.8 million pounds followed by the

Pacific Coast States with 45.8 million pounds, and Alaska with 31.0 million pounds. The South Atlantic

area. accounted for 29.5 million pounds. The remaining 15.5 million pounds was frozen in the Middle

Atlantic, the North Central West, and the North Central East areas.

Data on the holdings and freezings of fishery products for 1958 have been previously published in

Current Fishery Statistics No. 1983. Detailed data are published monthly in the Frozen Fish bulletin

of the Current Fishery Statistics Series.

GENERAL REVIEW

FOREIGN FISHERY TRADE

United States foreign trade in fishery products in 1958 was valued at over 358 million dollars,

of which 327 million dollars represented products imported for consumption and approximately 31 million

dollars, exports of domestic fishery products. The value of fishery imports entered for consumption in

1958 was 10 percent greater than in the previous year, while the value of exports of domestic fishery

products was 14 percent less than in 1957. The value of fishery products imported in 1958 established

a new record; the former high year was 1957 when these imports accounted for 297 million dollars.

In 1958, imports of edible fishery products amounted to 991 million pounds valued at over 280

million dollars. Nonedible products were valued at 47 million dollars. Among the more important items

received in greater volume during 1958 were fresh or frozen tuna, except albacore, groundfish and ocean

perch fillets (including blocks or slabs), and shrimp (including some dried and canned).

Exports of edible fishery products during 1958 totaled about 65 million pounds and 19 million dol-

lars while exports of nonedible products were valued at approximately 12 million dollars. In 1958, ex-

ports of canned fish and shellfish and fish oils reflected a decrease in both volume and value, while

fresh and frozen fish and shellfish showed an increase over the previous year.

SECTION 2 - NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES

The 1958 commercial catch of fishery products in the New England States (Maine, New Hampshire,

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) totaled 998 million pounds, valued at over 65 million

dollars to the fishermen. The catch was 33 million pounds less than the record 1957 production, however,

due to higher prices, the amount paid fishermen was up 4.7 million dollars. The decline in the catch

was caused by reduced landings of haddock, menhaden, whiting, and unclassified fish taken for bait,

reduction, and animal food. Items taken in considerably greater quantities than in 1957 included ale-

wives, cod, flounders, sea herring, ocean perch, and pollock. The 1958 catch was taken by 21,789 regu-

lar and casual fishermen. Fishing craft operated during the year included 773 vessels of 5 net tons and

over, 10,868 motor boats, and 1,076 other boats.

Over two-thirds of the 1958 New England catch was made by 695 otter trawlers. However, more

fishermen engaged in fishing lobster pots than operated any other gear. About 8,000 fishermen operated

lobster pots -more than twice the number employed on otter trawlers. The otter trawl catch amounted

to 680 million pounds, compared with only 26 million pounds taken by lobster pots.

The groundfish industry, which has been in a depressed state, rallied somewhat in 1958. Landings

increased by 16 million pounds (5 percent) and value jumped 4 million dollars (23 percent) to the highest

total value since 1952. The average price for groundfish (cod, cusk, haddock, hake, ocean perch, and

pollock) increased due to an excellent demand throughout the year. This occurred despite a somewhat

larger domestic catch of groundfish and record-high imports of groundfish fillets.

While landings of cod, ocean perch, and pollock were up, the catch of haddock dropped to 120

million pounds, which was 14 million pounds less than in 1957 and the lowest catch since 1943. The

stocks of haddock on Georges Bank are considerably reduced and biological research indicates that no

relief can be expected before 1960. The ocean perch catch increased by 15 million pounds— 11 percent

more than was produced in 1957. Greater fishing effort and no fishing time lost by price or labor disputes

accounted for this increase. Increased fishing effort for pollock resulted in a catch 11 million pounds

larger than in the previous year. Landings of Maine sea herring amounted to 178 million pounds, the

highest production since 1950. Other notable increases occurred in landings of alewives (up 14 mill ion

pounds), yellowtail flounders (11 million pounds), and cod (6 million pounds).

On the debit side, menhaden landings amounted to only 13.9 million pounds — 33 percent of the

1957 production. The decline was believed due, in part, to lower water temperatures off New England

which made the fish unavailable to New England fishermen. Whiting production dropped 20 million

pounds in an unusual, protracted season which caused some year-end price instability. Sea scallop

landings amounted to 16.4 million pounds — 87 percent of the 1957 catch. Despite a general price rise

for fishery products in New England, the average price of scallops was almost identical with that for

the previous year. However, a sharp upturn in scallop prices occurred just before the year's end.

An attempt was made to establish a purse seine fishery for bluefin tuna at Provincetown, Massa-

chusetts. A converted otter trawler, using a tuna purse seine and skiff borrowed from the Bureau of

Commercial Fisheries, took over 300,000 pounds of tuna, which were frozen for canning. School tuna

were about a month late in arriving and the abundance was reported to be below normal. Industry esti-

mates indicate that this venture can be expected to produce considerably more tuna in a normal season.

In an effort to revitalize the groundfish industry in Boston, a group of Fish Pier leaders made

plans to sponsor the construction of 20 steel trawlers within the next 10 years. A corporation was formed

among dealers on the Pier to finance construction and to operate the vessels.

Studies conducted by the Division of Biological Research of the Bureau indicate that it would be

possible to increase the stock of sea scallops on Georges Bank by using larger rings in dredges, thus

allowing the smaller scallops to remain on the grounds during the period of most rapid growth.

A method of driving schools of herring to where they can be caught was successfully demonstrated

by Bureau of Commercial Fisheries gear and equipment specialists. Flexible plastic pipe, perforated

at regular intervals, was laid across the ocean bottom and compressed air pumped into the pipe. Theresult was a curtain of bubbles which proved to be an effective barrier to schools offish.

NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES

Several new projects were undertaken by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries to assist the New

England Fisheries. A fishing vessel safety program was established to help reduce the high number

of accidents to fishermen and fishing vessels. A contract for a study, to determine the underlying eco-

nomic and technological factors, which dictate the long-term competitive status of the groundfish industry,

was given to Boston College. A report on fishing-vessel insurance problems was published. It included

recommendations designed to alleviate difficulties which have limited operations of the New England

fishing fleet and increased fishing costs.

The Bureau appreciates the assistance of the following organizations in the collection of the data

appearing in this section: The Maine Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries; the New Hampshire Fish

and Game Department; the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries;

the Rhode Island Department of Agriculture and Conservation, Division of Fish and Game; the Connec-

ticut State Board of Fisheries and Game; and the Connecticut State Shell Fish Commission.

The following tables contain summarized and detailed information on the 1958 operating units and

catch of fisheries in the New England States. Condensed summary data on the operating units and catch

by States of the New England area, appearing on the following pages, have been previously published

in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2202. Additional data on many aspects of the New England fisheries

may be found in the Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island monthly and annual landings bulletins re-

leased by the Branch of Statistics and in daily, monthly, and annual reports published by the Bureau's

Fishery Market News Service, Commonwealth Pier, Boston, Massachusetts.

LANDINGS AT MAINE PORTS

Landings of commercially-caught fish and shellfish at Maine ports in 1958 totaled 317 million

pounds valued at 19 million dollars — an increase of 8 percent in volume and 13 percent in value. This

was a record value, although the record catch was made in 1950 when 356 million pounds were landed.

Contributing to the gain in 1958 were increased catches of ocean perch, sea herring, and whiting.

Landings at the two major Maine ports, Portland and Rockland, increased by 4 million pounds and

7 million pounds respectively. A drop in the production of ocean perch at Portland (down 4 million

pounds) was more than offset by a 4-mil lion-pound increase in the catch of whiting and a 5-million-pound

rise in industrial fish. The increase at Rockland consisted principally of ocean perch— landed in a

period of greater fishing effort during the first three months of the year.

In 1958, the larger ocean perch vessels traveled to more distant grounds. As fishing success in

the Gulf of St. Lawrence began to taper off, vessels continued up through the Strait of Belle Isle to the

Hamilton Inlet Bank off Labrador — a four-day trip from Rockland. Once on the Bank, catches up to

300,000 pounds were made in three to four days. United States vessels operating in the Hamilton Inlet

Bank area fished nearly 2,000 hours and caught 5 million pounds in 1958. Ocean perch taken off Labrador

were much larger than those normally taken by United States vessels in other areas. This created prob-

lems in processing as the fillets were too large for the 12-ounce and 1-pound consumer packs. However,

record prices were paid for these fish.

Maine lobster landings in 1958 totaled 21 million pounds-3 million pounds less than the near-record

production of 1957. The landed value was over 10 million dollars — an all-time high. Demand was brisk

and prices remained high throughout the season.

The quantities shown in the following tables represent the round weight of the landings. Previous

to 1958, actual landed weights were shown in these tabulations. The data are now directly comparable

with the catch figures shown in the General Review, regional tables, and the Review of Certain Major

Fisheries. i

In cooperation with the Maine Department of Sea and Shore Fisheries, the Bureau of Commerical

Fisheries collects, compiles, and publishes monthly and annual data on the landings of fish andshellfish

in Maine. This information is currently published in detail in Maine Landings, which is in the Current

Fishery Statistics series of reports issued by the Bureau. In addition to the individual monthly reports,

two annual summaries were published for 1958 — one listing the catch by months (Current Fishery Sta-

tistics No. 2032) and the other listing the catch by gear and by county (Current Fishery Statistics No.

2031).

LANDINGS AT MASSACHUSETTS PORTS

Because of the importance of Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, and certain other Massachusetts

ports, detailed statistics are collected and released monthly on fishery products landed at these ports.

Additional detailed tabulations are prepared for the use of Bureau and State biologists, and Massachu-

setts data are also summarized for publication by the International Commission for the Northwest Atlan-

tic Fisheries.

Landings at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, and other Massachusetts ports in 1958 amounted to

516 million pounds valued at 37 million dollars to the fishermen. These landings were 25 million pounds

or 5 percent less than in 1957 while the value of the landings was 3 million dollars or 9 percent greater

than that of the previous year. Increased landings occurred only at the port of New Bedford where 112

million pounds were landed compared with 104 million pounds the previous year. Oddly enough, NewBedford was the only port showing a decrease in average price per pound. A large number of New Bed-

ford vessels switched from scalloping to the otter- trawl fishery, and there was a sharp increase in cod

and flounder landings which caused a decline in the average price paid fishermen at this port. The

mainstay of the otter -trawl fishery at New Bedford was the yellowtail flounder, of which 25 million

pounds were landed, and increase of more than 10 million pounds or 71 percent over 1957. Despite the

phenomenal increase in production of this species, the market remained good and the price averaged

slightly higher than in 1957.

Boston continued its downward trend with a loss of 11 million pounds, or 8 percent, below 1957

landings. Landings at the Fish Pier were the lowest since 1922. The average price for total Boston

landings was the highest ever recorded-- nearly 2 cents a pound above the previous record established

in 1952. The total ex-vessel value of fish and shellfish landed at Boston was 13 percent greater than

the previous year. Fish processors were in trouble as high-priced fish and low volume prevented pro-

fitable operation. Plant employment was at a very low level and four more firms went out of business.

Landings of haddock — Boston's principal species-- were the lowest in 12 years. Surveys by biologists

of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries indicate that no relief is in sight before I960, when the supply

of marketable haddock should increase.

Three species accounted for nearly 93 percent of the Boston landings. These were: cod (16 mil-

lion pounds), pollock (17 million pounds), and haddock (82 million pounds). The average age of the

otter trawlers operating out of Boston at the end of 1958 was twenty- one years. Two large otter trawl-

ers were lost to Boston in 1958, leaving the total in this size category at 28 --compared with 52 in 1948.

In the period from 1948 to 1958 the number of otter trawlers of all sizes landing at Boston has been

reduced from 106 to 72.

Gloucesterwas likewise largely dependent on three items for the major portion of its 1958 landings.

However, they were not the same as those accounting for most of the Boston catch. They were: oceanperch (75 million pounds), whiting, and unclassified fish for bait, reduction, and animal food (59 million

pounds each). These items accounted for 84 percent of the Gloucester landings.

Only three million pounds of menhaden were landed at Gloucester in 1958 compared with 21 mil-

lion in 1957. In an effort to compensate for the lack of menhaden, the fishery for industrial fish con-

centrated on ajewives and landed a catch of over 32 million pounds. This was 14 million pounds more

than in 1957 and an all-time record for this species at this port. Pollock (8.1 million pounds) was up

4 million pounds, double that of 1957 and the best year for this port since 1948. Although ocean perch

landings increased 10 million pounds, they were second lowest since 1940. The increase was the re-

sult of greater fishing effort and no tie-ups due to price disputes, such as occurred in 1957. A fewocean perch vessels fished a new area located off the coast of Labrador where, in three to four days'

fishing time, full loads of ocean perch were caught. One of these trips of large fish sold for over 7cents per pound — a record high.


The fleet, operatingon the fishing grounds of the North Atlantic and landing fares at certain Mass-

achusetts ports during 1958, numbered 636 craft of all sizes. The landings listed in the following ta-

bles, however, do not represent the entire catch of these vessels, as some of them also delivered fares

at other New England ports, at New York City, and at more southerly ports in connection with the win-

ter trawl fisheries. Fishing craft operating otter trawls captured 86 percent of the 516 million pounds

of fish and shellfish landed at certain Massachusetts ports. Purse seines accounted for 7 percent of

this total, while the remaining poundage was taken on lines, in scallop dredges, pound nets, and by

miscellaneous gear. Fishing grounds off New England yielded over 418 million pounds or 81 percent

of the Massachusetts total, while the remaining 19 percent came from areas off the Middle Atlantic

States, Labrador, Nova Scotia, the Grand Banks and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The following tables contain a detailed summary of information on the landings of fish and shell-

fish by fishing craft of all sizes at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, and other Massachusetts ports.

Information on the annual landings by ports was previously published in Current Fishery Statistics No.

2040, while data on the catch by gear and area appeared in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2041. De-

tailed. monthly information on the landings by port and by gear and area of capture was also published

in the Current Fishery Statistics series.

SECTION 3 - MIDDLE ATLANTIC FISHERIES

The 1958 commercial catch of fish and shellfish landed in the Middle Atlantic States (New York,

New Jersey, and Delaware) amounted to 625 million pounds valued at 23 million dollars to the fisher-

men. Compared with the previous year's catch, the 1958 production represented a decrease of 303 mil-

lion pounds or 33 percent in volume and over 5 million dollars or 19 percent in value. Landings were

the lowest in poundage since 1952 and the lowest in value since 1944. Of the decrease in landings,

menhaden accounted for 296 million pounds, oysters 4 million pounds, and surf clams and crabs 3 mil-

lion pounds each. New Jersey bore the brunt of the decline with a 221 million pound drop in production,

a decrease of 47 percent. Flounder production increased by 3 million pounds and scup landings increas-

ed 4 million pounds.

The number of fishermen operating in the Middle Atlantic area decreased from 9,468 in 1957 to

8,794 in 1958. The number of fishing craft increased from 4,598 in 1957 to 4,673 in 1958. The increase

was in motorized boats of under 5 net tons. Improvement of fishing equipment resulting in greater effi-

ciency of vessel operations was primarily responsible for the drop in number of fishermen.

The surf clam fishery underwent extensive changes in 1958. Compared with 1957, the catch was

20 percent less and the average price per pound of meats decreased 13 percent. Since the five-year

period 1951-1955, when the annual catch was slightly greater than 10 million pounds, production in-

creased to 17 million pounds in 1957 — the peak year. The entrance into the fishery of larger vessels,

fishing on more distant, highly productive grounds, resulted in catches in excess of the demand. Catch

quotas were established in early 1958. Many vessels stopped dredging for surf clams and returned to

other types of fishing, principally in the scallop and fish-otter-trawl fisheries. By the end of 1958, the

surf clam industry was near normalcy with the supply moderate to liberal and the demand steady. The

number of vessels operating in this fishery was approximately one -fourth of the 1957 fleet.

The catch of oysters continued to decline in 1958. The quantity of oyster meats dropped 46 per-

cent below the 1957 level, resulting in the lowest catch ever recorded for this area. This decline was

mainly due to extensive oyster mortality which has occurred in Delaware Bay during the past two years,

the cause of which is unknown. As a result, oyster operations in Delaware Baywerenearly at a stand-

still. Restrictive measures have been taken to prevent spreading the causative factor to Chesapeake

Bay through importation of shells or seed. At present, no means of combating this situation is known

except to develop a resistant strain of oysters — a process requiring many years of research.

The 1958 catch of fish taken by otter trawlers was 5 million pounds greater than in 1957, due

mainly to increased landings of fluke in New Jersey and of scup in New York. The Middle Atlantic

pound net fishery had a very poor season, catching only 41 percent of the previous year's total. The

catch of sea trout by all gears (1 million pounds) was the lowest on record.

There were 497 wholesale fishery manufacturing establishments in the Middle Atlantic States in

1958, a few less than in the previous year. These firms employed 9,380 persons. Fishery products

manufactured by these firms were valued at 78 million dollars at the producers' level — a decrease of

6 million dollars which was primarily the result of lower production of menhaden products.

The Bureau acknowledges and is grateful for the assistance of the following organizations in the

collection of the data appearing in this section: The New York Conservation Department; the Division

of Fish and Game and the Division of Shell Fisheries of the New Jersey Department of Conservation

and Economic Development; and the University of Delaware Marine Research Laboratory and the Del-

aware Commission of Shell Fisheries.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the fisheries of the Middle

Atlantic area appearing on the following pages have been previously published in Current Fishery Sta-

tistics No. 2133. Seasonal variation in the catch of fish and shellfish in the New York Marine District

and in New Jersey can be ascertained from monthly and annual landings bulletins issued for these

States in cooperation with the fishing agency of each State. Additional data on many aspects of the

Middle Atlantic fisheries may be found in daily, monthly, and annual reports published by the Bureau's

Market News Service, 155 John Street, New York 38, New York.

HUDSON RIVER SHAD FISHERY

During 1958, the annual spring run of shad in the Hudson River yielded a commercial catch of

nearly 258 thousand fish weighing 1.0 million pounds and valued at 116 thousand dollars. Down 30 per-

cent in volume and 12 percent in value compared with 1957, the 1958 catch was the lowest since

1953- Adverse weather during April was a contributing factor to the reduced landings. The average

price per pound to the fishermen was up 26 percent over 1957.

In 1958 there were 229 fishermen employed in the Hudson River shad fishery— 17 percent below

the number that operated during the previous year. Statistics on the 1958 operating units and catch

of shad in the Hudson River by New York and New Jersey fishermen are included in the operating unit

and catch data for these States.

SECTION 4 - CHESAPEAKE FISHERIES

Fish and shellfish landed in the Chesapeake Bay States (Maryland and Virginia) in 1958 amounted

to 503 million pounds valued at 37 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with the previous year,

this was an increase of 56 million pounds and over 4 million dollars. The larger volume was principally

due to a 55 million- pound increase in the catch of menhaden. Virginia produced 437 million pounds or

87 percent of the total landings in the Chesapeake States. The Maryland and Virginia catch was taken

by 18,440 fishermen compared with 19,212 during the previous year. The number of fishing craft of all

sizes used in this area was 12,339.

The Chesapeake States catch of menhaden in 1958, which was landed almost exclusively in Vir-

ginia, totaled 323 million pounds --20 percent more than the previous year. This was one of the largest

catches in the history of the fishery. Contributing factors were: more vessels, operation of additional

scouting planes, and greater use of electronic and mechanical equipment. Most of the menhaden were

taken in Chesapeake Bay. The catch of these fish in the Bay was 220 million pounds — over twice the

ocean catch of 103 million pounds.. In the previous four years the major production of the landings was

taken from ocean waters.

The soft clam dredge fishery continued to grow in 1958. A catch of 3.9 million pounds was landed

in Maryland — an increase of over 1 million pounds (42 percent) compared with the previous year. This

is more than double the 1958 production of the State of Maine which was the leading producer of these

shellfish from 1945 through 1955- The dredged clams of Maryland are produced at a lower cost than the

hand -hoe -dug clams of Maine.

A sharply contrasting situation exists between the oyster production in the two States. Virginia

recorded an increase of over 5 million pounds and had the greatest production in over 25 years, whereas

Maryland's production dropped 2 million pounds to the lowest level since 1933. With the reduced stocks

in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and Gulf oyster- producing areas, the Chesapeake was more than ever

the backbone of the oyster industry. Prices were at a high level and prospects for the future were prom-

ising.

The shad catch declined 21 percent, though apparently not from lack of fish. Shad bring a good

price early in the season. After Lent, prices drop and fishing effort decreases. In 1958, abnormally

cold weather delayed the shad runs which had the effect of reducing the length of the season.

Compared with 1957 there were gains in the catch of sea bass, spot, and striped bass while de-clines were registered for croaker, hard crabs, and gray sea trout. The catch of the latter species wasthe smallest recorded since 1888 and was only 7 percent of the record 1945 production.

There were 697 fishery wholesaling and manufacturing establishments in Maryland and Virginia, a

decline of 37 from the previous year. These firms employed over 13 thousand persons and manufactured

fishery products valued at 54 million dollars at the producers' level, an increase of 3 million dollars

over the previous year.


collection of the data appearing in this section: Maryland Department of Research and Education, Mary-

land Department of Tidewater Fisheries, the Virginia Fisheries Laboratory, and the Virginia Commissionof Fisheries.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch by States of the fisheries of the Ches-

apeake area appearing on the following pages have been previously published in Current Fishery Statis-

tics No. 2203. Data on the catch of fish and shellfish in the bay and ocean areas of Maryland and Vir-

ginia are shown at the end of this section. Additional data on the daily, monthly, and annua! production

of fishery products in more important areas of these States are available in reports published by the

Bureau's Fishery Market News Service office at Hampton, Virginia.

POTOMAC RIVER SHAD AND ALEWIFE FISHERY

The catch of shad in the Potomac River during 1958 amounted to 57 thousand fish weighing 167

thousand pounds and valued at nearly 29 thousand dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1957, the

poundage of shad decreased 73 percent and the value 69 percent.

The 1958 catch of alewives in the Potomac River totaled 19.6 million fish weighing nearly 8.9

million pounds, valued at approximately 125 thousand dollars. This represented a decrease of 3 percent

in volume and 6 percent in value compared with the previous year's catch.

During 1958 there were 495 fishermen employed in this fishery, compared with 663 fishermen in

1957. Statistics on the yield and operating units of shad and alewives in the Potomac River are also

included in the catch and operating unit data for Virginia and Maryland.

SECTION 5 - SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES

The 1958 catch of fish and shellfish landed in the coastal areas of the South Atlantic States (North

Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and East Coast of Florida) and the commercial catch from the inland

lakes of Florida amounted to 376 million pounds valued at 20 million dollars. Compared with the previous

year, the 1958 production represented an increase of 40 million pounds or 12 percent in volume while

the value of the catch was 570 thousand dollars or 3 percent below that of 1957. The increased volume

was due primarily to larger landings of menhaden and, to a lesser extent, foodfish such as Spanish mack-

erel, gray sea trout, and croaker. During 1958 a total of 15,004 fishermen operated in the South Atlantic

area compared with 17,212 during the previous year. The number of vessels of five net tons and over

operating in this area also decreased from 1,219 in 1957 to 1,189 in 1958.

In 1958 there were 487 fishery wholesaling and manufacturing establishments in the South Atlantic

States as compared with 475 in 1957. These firms gave employment to nearly 9 thousand persons. Fish-

ery products manufactured by these firms were valued at almost 42 million dollars at the producers level.

This was over 4 million dollars more than the previous year. A greater production of breaded shrimp and

industrial products from menhaden accounted for this increase.

The menhaden catch of 244 million pounds was nearly 48 million pounds (24 percent) greater than

the 1957 landings. The increased catch resulted from improved weather conditions along the Carolina coast

during the month of December. During 1958 menhaden made up 65 percent of the total volume of fish and

shellfish landed at ports of the South Atlantic coast.

The 1958 South Atlantic production of shellfish (62 million pounds valued at nearly 11 million

dollars) declined by 2 percent in volume and 8 percent in value compared with the previous year. This

decrease in volume and value was attributed chiefly to the failure of shrimp to appear in the usual quan-

tity. The catch of shrimp amounted to over 22 million pounds valued at nearly 8 million dollars. This

represented a decline of 21 percent in volume and 13 percent in value from the previous year. Shrimp

landings were lower throughout the area with the exception of Florida, but the decline was most notice-

able in North Carolina where the landings were 68 percent less than during 1957. The unusually cold

weather during the winter may have been a contributing factor to the shrimp failure. Fishermen received

a slightly higher price per pound for shrimp in 1958 than in 1957. During the year increased interest was

displayed in the possibility of pond culture of shrimp utilizing large marsh areas presently not being

exploited.

The Bureau gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following organizations in the collection

of the data appearing in this section: The North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development,

Division of Commercial Fisheries; South Carolina Wildlife Resources Department, Division of Commercial

Fisheries; Georgia Game and Fish Commission, Coastal Fisheries Division; and Florida State Board

of Conservation and Marine Laboratory, University of Miami.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch of the South Atlantic area appearing on

the following pages have been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2110. Seasonal

variation in the catch of fish and shellfish in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida can

be ascertained from the 1958 monthly and annual landings bulletins issued for these four States in coop-

eration with the fishery agency in each State. Additional data on many aspects of the South Atlantic

fisheries may be found in the daily, monthly, and annual reports published by the Hampton, Virginia

Market News Office of the Bureau.

SOUTH ATLANTIC SHRIMP FISHERY

During 1958, landings of shrimp at ports in the South Atlantic States amounted to over 13.4 million

pounds (heads-off) with a dockside value of 8.0 million dollars to the fishermen. Georgia led in pro-

duction with over 5.2 million pounds followed by South Carolina (3.4 million pounds), the East Coast of

Florida (3.3 million pounds), and North Carolina (1.5 million pounds). The extremely cold weather dur-

ing the first part of 1958 adversely affected the supply of shrimp available in waters off North Carolina

during the year. Two varieties of shrimp made up the majority of the landings in 1958. White shrimp

accounted for 54 percent of the landings followed by brown shrimp (42 percent). The remaining 4 per-

cent was made up almost entirely of pink shrimp although small quantities of sea bobs were landed in

Georgia.

White shrimp predominated in the monthly catches from January through May and from October

through December. Brown shrimp made up most of the landings from June through August. In Septem-

ber approximately equal quantities of white and brown shrimp were taken. Nearly 53 percent of the

total shrimp landings was of a size numbering 31 to 50 heads-off shrimp to the pound. Larger size

shrimp accounted for 29 percent of the total catch while the balance (18 percent) was of the smaller

sizes.

The quantities shown represent the heads-off weight of shrimp and are not directly comparable

with the volume data published in the General Review, regional tables, or the Review of Certain Major

Fisheries. The common names of the species used in these tables are as follows: White shrimp (Pe-

naeus setiferus); brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus, and in some cases Penaeus brasiliensis); pink shrimp

(Penaeus duorarum); and sea bobs (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri).

Information on the landings of shrimp in the South Atlantic States, contained in the following ta-

bles, has previously been published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2056.

SECTION 6 - GULF FISHERIES

The commercial catch of fish and shellfish landed at ports of the Gulf States (West Coast of Flor-

ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas) during 1958 amounted to 809 million pounds valued at

over 86 million dollars to the fishermen. This represented an increase of almost 117 million pounds or

17 percent in volume and slightly more than 2 million dollars or 3 percent in value when compared with

1957. Louisiana led all other States in volume and also registered the largest increase over the pre-

ceding year. Landings in that State increased by 94 million pounds or 42 percent. The West Coast of

Florida and Texas also registered increases of 17 and 9 million pounds, respectively. Landings of both

menhaden and shrimp recovered remarkably in 1958. The 1958 Gulf catch was taken by 22,294 fishermen

operating 3,507 vessels of 5 net tons or greater and 8,129 other fishing craft.

Louisiana accounted for 39 percent of the total landings. Mississippi was next with 26 percent,

followed by Texas, 18 percent; the West Coast of Florida, 16 percent; and Alabama, 1 percent. Texas

led all other States in value of catch with 37 percent of the total. The West Coast of Florida was next

with 28 percent, followed by Louisiana with 25 percent; Mississippi, 7 percent; and Alabama, 3 percent.

During 1958 there were 762 fishery wholesaling and manufacturing establishments in the Gulf area

which gave employment to about 16 thousand persons. Fishery products manufactured by these firms

were valued at 129 million dollars — about 15 million dollars above 1957. Canned shrimp, frozen pack-

aged shrimp, and fish meal accounted for the increase.

The menhaden fishery, which suffered a severe setback in 1957, gained noticeably in 1958. Some-

what better fishing weather and the greater availability of fish accounted for the increased catch. The

trend to larger vessels equipped with refrigeration continued during 1958, resulting in longer trips and

a greater cruising range. There was no extension of the present manufacturing areas in 1958. In terms

of volume, menhaden was still the largest fishery in the Gulf.

The shrimp fishery was by far the most important in terms of dollar value in the Gulf States during

1958. The catch of 173 million pounds valued at 64 million dollars accounted for 74 percent of the total

value of Gulf fisheries. The 1958 catch reversed a downward trend which had been in progress for the

previous three years. While a decrease was registered in Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi, it was

not sufficient to offset the gains made in Louisiana and the West Coast of Florida.

The greater landings in Louisiana were accounted for chiefly by the increased availability of white

shrimp. However, this species did not appear in its former abundance. A new law was passed by the

Louisiana legislature designed to provide more protection to shrimp in the inside waters where they feed

and grow before migrating offshore. In addition, enforcement efforts were doubled, resulting in perhaps

the most rigid application of the shrimp regulations ever experienced in the State.

The failure of the shrimp run in North Carolina forced vessels from that State to venture into the

Gulf. This resulted in greater fishing effort in 1958. Texas received most of the migrant trawlers.

Despite the increased number of vessels, the use of the double rigs, and longer hours of fishing, the

catch in Texas declined slightly. The Campeche fishery declined considerably during the year, again

resulting in more of the fleet proceeding to Texas. Several American producers ventured into Central

American waters with their fleets, substantial catches were made in the waters off Nicaragua and Hon-

duras. One bright spot in the picture was the development of new fishing grounds off Tarpon Springs on

the West Coast of Florida. This new fishery for pink shrimp accounted for approximately one and one-

half million pounds.

The greater landings of white shrimp in Louisiana brought increased canning activity all along the

Gulf Coast. As there was no carryover of canned shrimp from the preceding year, canners operated at

near peak capacity the entire season. The production of canned shrimp was approximately 45 percent

greater than the pack in 1957.

GULF FISHERIES

The use of shrimp as bait for sports fishing continued to increase during 1958. Using the small

otter trawl with outboard motor boats resulted in widespread taking of shrimp for bait and home use.

This created a greater drain on the resource. The importance of the commercial bait industry was dem-

onstrated in the Galveston Bay area where statistics collected indicated that, for a substantial part of

the year, the value of the bait industry exceeded the value of the commercial catch.

Total landings of oysters decreased by almost 4 million pounds from 1957. The canned oyster

pack was the smallest in many years. A total of 190 thousand cases of oysters was produced as com-

pared with 311 thousand in 1957. This represented a decrease of 39 percent. A greater decrease occur-

red in Alabama where the pack was 82 percent less than the previous year. Poor condition of the oyster

reefs in that State was blamed for the decline. Higher production costs, scarcity of raw material, and

the influx of imported canned oysters discouraged extensive canning operations.

The collection of detailed statistics on the shrimp fishery was continued during 1958. The year

was marked by several important advances in marine research. Marking shrimp by use of dye had been

given previous field tests. For the first time it was fully employed by the Bureau's Division of Biolog-

ical Research in its marking program on the Dry Tortugas fishing grounds to determine, among other

things, the migratory routes of shrimp into this important fishing area. Preliminary data assembled by

the Bureau's Gulf Fishery Investigations at Galveston, Texas showed that white and brown shrimp

reach peak abundance at different seasons of the year. In furthering research on the red tide which has

resulted in serious fish killings in the eastern Gulf from time to time, the Galveston laboratory devel-

oped artificial bacteria -free sea water media for culturing the causative organism (Gymnodinium brevis).

Inspection and certification of fishery products by the Bureau's Branch of Technology expanded

into the Gulf area for the first time in July of 1958 when shrimp breading plants applied for this service.

By the end of the year a majority of the plants producing breaded shrimp were utilizing the services of

a full-time inspector.

With further implementation of the technological staff at the Bureau's Pascagoula Laboratory,

developmental work was started in the canning of seven species of sardine -like fishes which, here-

tofore, had not been utilized as food. Work was carried out on the composition of the catch of fish used

for industrial purposes to evaluate its potential in the production of fish meal and oil and for use as

pet food. A consulting service to the Gulf fishing industry on technological problems was inaugurated.

The Bureau continued its operation of three exploratory fishing vessels during 1958. The MVOregon did exploratory work off the South American Coast resulting in the delineation of areas of good

potential for the shrimp fishery. Operation of the mid- water trawl revealed the presence in possible

commercial quantities of five species of fish presently not utilized. These were the so-called razor

bellies, cigarfish, anchovies, round herring and thread herring.

The MV Silver Bay made several trips to Campeche Banks off Mexico for the purpose of deter-

mining the feasibility of commercial otter trawl fishing for red snapper. The success of the venture

indicated that definite possibilities exist in trawling for this species. The operations of this vessel in

search of clams indicated the best commercial beds exist from Pass-a-Grille Beach to Marco Island

on the southwest coast of Florida. It was also determined that commercial possibilities for a scallop

fishery exist from a point south southwest of Port St. Joe to Panama City on the northwest coast of

Florida.

The MV George M. Bowers was engaged in gear development throughout the year. Several attempts

were made at trapping red snapper but without noticeable success.

Condensed summary data on operating units and catch by States appearing on the following pages

have been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics bulletin No. 2165. Data on the catch and

operating units of the East Coast of Florida and the entire State of Florida may be found in Section 5 of

this Digest. Seasonal variation in the catch of fish and shellfish in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,

Louisiana, and Texas can be ascertained from monthly landings bulletins issued currently for these

States in cooperation with the fishery agency of each State. Additional aspects of the Gulf fisheries

may be found in daily, monthly, and annual reports published by the Bureau's Fishery Market News

Service, Federal Building, 600 South Street, New Orleans 12, Louisiana.

MEDIUM SHRIMP TRAWLER

GULF FISHERIES

GULF SHRIMP FISHERY

Detailed catch statistics on the landings of shrimp by United States craft at Gulf of Mexico ports

were collected during 1958 for the third consecutive year. The data summarized on a monthly basis in

the following tabulations include species by size, volume, and value landed in each State; the number of

fishing trips; days fished; and the catch by area, depth, and size of shrimp. Data represent the heads -

off weight, therefore, are not directly comparable with the quantities published in the General Review,

regional tables, or the Review of Certain Major Fisheries. The pounds of heads -off shrimp may be con-

verted to heads-on weight by multiplying by 1.68.

The widespread conversion of offshore - type shrimp trawlers from a single to a two-trawl rig,

which reached its peak in 1957, continued into 1958. Double- rig trawling has been accepted as a more

efficient method of catching shrimp. With the double rig, a vessel tows two small otter trawls simulta-

neously rather than a single large one as has been the custom. All newly-built shrimp vessels in the

larger class -size are equipped for the use of the double rig.

Shrimp landings at Gulf of Mexico ports in 1958 totaled 103.1 million pounds (heads -off) with a

dockside value of 63.8 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1957 this was an increase of 4

percent in volume and 2 percent in value. Landings in Louisiana and on the' West Coast of Florida were

up while a drop occurred in other Gulf Coast States. Three varieties of shrimp made up the bulk of the

catch: Brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus), 49 percent; white shrimp (Penaeus setiferus), 28 percent; and

pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum), 22 percent. The remaining 1 percent consisted of sea bobs (Xipho-

penaeus kroyeri).

Shrimp otter -trawl fishing craft operating out of United States Gulf of Mexico ports completed

approximately 177 thousand trips and fished nearly 186 thousand 24- hour days. Compared with 1957

there was an increase in the catch of shrimp from waters off the west coast of the Florida peninsula and

Louisiana. The significant increase from the north central Gulf waters, particularly off Louisiana, re-

sulted from return of the white shrimp to nearly their former abundance. The 1958 catch on the high seas

in the western and southern Gulf off the coast of Mexico was much less than during the previous year.

For the first time a number of vessels began fishing regularly in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of

Nicaragua and Honduras. Over 1 million pounds of shrimp (heads -off) were taken from these waters in

1958.

Information on the landings and catch of shrimp in the Gulf areas contained in the following tables

has been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics, No. 2056. Monthly data on the landings and

value of shrimp by variety and size for the South Atlantic States are included in Section 5 of this Digest.

SECTION 7 - PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES

During 1958, the commercial fisheries of the pacific Coast States (Washington, Oregon, and Cali-

fornia) yielded a catch of 899 million pounds, valued at nearly 90 million dollars. This was a gain of

78 million pounds and 13 million dollars compared with the previous year. Receipts of Pacific sardines

and tuna were responsible for the increase. Sharp declines occurred in the production of anchovies, and

Pacific and jack mackerel. California (675 million pounds) accounted for 75 percent of the Pacific

Coast catch, followed by Washington (165 million pounds) --18 percent- and Oregon (59 million pounds)-

7 percent.

The catch was taken by 21,987 fishermen who operated 3,101 vessels of 5 net tons and over, and

5,997 smaller craft. Three types of gear accounted for 87 percent of the Pacific Coast catch: purse

seines, 42 percent; hooks and lines, 31 percent; and otter trawls, 13 percent. Crab pots, gill nets, and

brail and scoop nets accounted for most of the remainder.

Nearly one-third of the Pacific Coast States catch in 1958 was taken on the high seas off the

coasts of foreign countries. Tuna taken off Central and South America and bottomfish, salmon, and

halibut taken off British Columbia accounted for most of this catch. Since the species taken off

foreign coasts consisted largely of higher-priced items, about 40 percent of the value of the Pacific

Coasts States catch was taken off foreign countries.

Largely as a result of the decline in the sardine fishery, the Pacific Coast States have failed to

hold their relative position in the United States fisheries. During the years from 1935 to 1939, the three

Pacific Coast States accounted for an average of 38 percent of the total domestic catch; in 1958 it was

only 19 percent.

Tuna continued to dominate the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States. The catch of 316 million

pounds, valued at nearly 43 million dollars, accounted for 35 percent of the volume and 48 percent of the

value of the total catch in the three States. The catch of tuna was 7 percent greater than in 1957, but

was far below the record 390 million pounds taken in 1950. A major contribution to the increase in tuna

landings was the record tuna purse seine catch of nearly 77 million pounds-- a gain of 28 percent over

the 1957 production for this gear. The large purse seine catch of bluefin tuna (31 million pounds), half

of which was taken in Southern California waters— was a new record for this species. Most of the blue-

fin catch is normally taken off Mexico.

The California tuna-clipper fishery operated without costly tie-ups for the first time in a number

of years. This resulted largely from the use of the auction method of selling tuna at San Diego by the

American Tuna Boat Association.

The southern albacore fishery in 1958 was much less productive than in the previous year, and

fishermen landed only 27 million pounds of these fish in California, compared with 44 million pounds in

1957. In Washington and Oregon, however, over 11 million pounds were taken — 8 million pounds more

than in 1957. The northwest albacore catch was the best since 1948. This fishery was somewhat more

productive than the figures indicate, since a part of the catch landed in California was caught off Oregon

by California tuna clippers. The California ex-vessel price for albacore opened at 400 dollars per ton —100 dollars per ton more than was paid at the start of the 1957 season. The shortage of fish caused the

price to advance to 425 dollars per ton for most of the California season. The latter price was paid

for albacore in the Pacific Northwest.

Although the 1958 Pacific Coast tuna catch was considerably less than the record 1950 landings,

the pack of canned tuna in the three States reached a new high of 12,228,000 standard cases. Large

imports of frozen tuna mainly from Japan, permitted the record canned pack.

The Pacific sardine fishery made a remarkable comeback in 1958, with a catch of 207 million

pounds. This was the largest catch since 1951 and was four-and-one-half times the 1957 production.

The 1958 catch was made despite an average limit of 40 tons each night per boat, and curtailed opera-

tions during the last two months of the season due to heavy canned inventories. The sardine season

opened with fishermen receiving 60 dollars per ton for fish. Heavy landings caused the price to drop to

50 dollars per ton in early October. The pack of 2,223,000 cases of canned Pacific sardines was the

largest since 1951.

PACIFIC COAST STATES FISHERIES

The 1958 salmon fishery of the Pacific Coast States was highlighted by the largest run of Fraser

River sockeye salmon since 1913. The size of the run was not fully indicated by the Washington catch

of 32.6 million pounds--about 24 million pounds more than in 1957. The fish followed an unusual migra-

tory route. Instead of approaching the Fraser River through the Straits of Juan de Fuca, they came

around the north end of Vancouver Island through Johnstone Strait. This permitted Canadian fishermen

to fully prosecute the Johnstone Strait fishery and to take one-half of the catch in treaty waters in ac-

cordance with the provisions of the convention between the United States and Canada relating to the

Fraser River salmon fishery. It was estimated that Canadian fishermen took two-thirds of the total

Fraser River catch instead of the usual one-half. Despite the large catch of Fraser River sockeye sal-

mon, the number of fish passing up the River was far larger than the capacity of the Adams River spawn-

ing grounds to which they were bound. To prevent over-seeding, electrical barriers were installed to

divert spawners to other streams.

Chum salmon made a good recovery from the 2.5 million pounds taken in 1957, with a catch of more

than 6 million pounds. King salmon production continued to decline, and silver salmon production was

down: Oregon catches of the latter species were alarmingly short.

Production of both Pacific and jack mackerel was down sharply in 1958. The availability of sar-

dines caused fishermen to give greater attention to the taking of these fish; however, the mackerels

seemed to be much less abundant than in the previous year. The catch of jack mackerel amounted to

22.1 million pounds and Pacific mackerel, 27.6 million pounds compared with 82 million and 62 million

pounds, respectively, in 1957. Ex-vessel prices paid for both species of mackerel were the same — 42

dollars and 50 cents per ton until September 1, and 50 dollars per ton for the remainder of the year. The

1958 pack of canned mackerel amounted to 404,400 standard cases, only 30 percent of the previous

year's pack.

The California catch of anchovies, amounting to 11.6 million pounds, was only 29 percent of the

1957 production and the smallest since 1951. In addition to being scarce, the fish were smaller than

the 6 inches desired. The pack of canned anchovies totaled only 53,700 standard cases compared with

440,200 the previous year. The ex-vessel price paid for anchovies remained at 25 dollars per ton, the

same as in 1957.

Dungeness crab catches increased in Washington, but declined in Oregon and California and the

combined landings of 40.4 million pounds were nearly 2 million pounds less than in 1957. However,

due to higher prices, the ex-vessel amount paid for the catch-4.3 million dollars-was 815 thousand

dollars more than in the previous year. When the new season opened on December 15, it appeared that

crabs were not as plentiful as in 1956 and 1957.

The Pacific States ocean fishery for small "cocktail-size" shrimp reached a new high in 1958,

with landings of 9.9 million pounds compared with 4.2 million pounds the previous year. Over 80 per-

cent of the catch was taken from the newly-developed beds off Washington and Oregon. The catch taken

off these States was used to pack 1,424,000 pounds of canned shrimp which found ready sale. Poor

catches of ocean shrimp late in 1958 caused the transfer of some processing equipment to Alaska where

supplies appeared to be greater.

Pet food canners continued to use large quantities of fish, principally anchovies, mackerel, sar-

dines, and tuna. During 1958 there was an increase in the use of dark-meat tuna trimmings for canned

pet food. Most of the canned tuna pet food consisted entirely of dark meat without added cereal. In

1958 the Pacific Coast pack of canned pet food totaled about 2,400,000 standard cases- nearly one-third

of the United States production.

A total of 261 whales was taken in 1958 by four catcher vessels operated by the two whaling sta-

tions located in San Francisco Bay- 24 more than in 1957. Whale products amounting to 10.6 million

pounds were manufactured from the catch. The whale meat was utilized entirely for animal food, mostly

for mink, with smaller quantities used for pet food. The blubber was reduced to oil and the bones ground

for meal. The California plants were the only whaling stations operated in the United States.


Manufactured fishery items produced in the Pacific Coast States in 1958 were valued at a record

259 million dollars. Canned tuna, packed from domestically-caught and imported fish, valued at 142

million dollars to the canner was the principal item. Second was canned salmon, 27 million dollars,

followed by canned sardines, 16 million dollars. These items accounted for over 70 percent of the value

of manufactured products in the three States.

The bureau appreciates the assistance of the following organizations in the collection of the

data appearing in this section: The Washington Department of Fisheries; the Oregon Fish Commission;

and the California Department of Fish and Game.

Condensed summary data on the operating units and catch by states for the Pacific Coast States

fisheries appearing on the following pages have been previously published in Current Fishery Statistics

No. 2205. Additional data on many aspects of the Pacific Coast fisheries may be found in daily, monthly,

and annual reports published by the Bureau's Market News Service in San Pedro, California, and Seattle,

Washington. Specific data on several of the major fisheries of the Pacific Coast States may be found

in Section 12 of this publication.

LANDINGS BY HALIBUT FLEET AT SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Landings of halibut, lingcod, rockfishes, and sablefish at Seattle, Washington during 1958 by the

United States halibut fleet amounted to 16.4 million pounds valued at 3.9 million dollars to the fishermen.

Compared with 1957, these landings represented a decrease of 843 thousand pounds in volume while the

value of the catch was 569 thousand dollars greater.

Halibut landings at Seattle in 1958 by vessels of the regular United States halibut fleet totaled

approximately 15.2 million pounds, valued at slightly more than 3.7 million dollars ex-vessel. This was

5 percent greater in volume and 27 percent more in value than in 1957. In addition, Canadian halibut ves-

sels landed about 2 million pounds of halibut at Seattle, an all-time high for these landings.

The United States 1958 Pacific halibut fleet consisted of 395 vessels manned by 1,786 fishermen;

67 vessels and 233 fishermen less than in 1957.

In 1958, the voluntary between-trip lay-in plan adopted by both United States and Canadian halibut

fishermen in 1956, was again adhered to rigidly. As in 1957, the lay-in period consisted of eight days.

A summary of the 1958 landings at Seattle by the United States halibut fleet is contained in the

following tables. These landings represent the dressed weight of the catch and are not directly compa-

rable with the data contained in the sectional and State tables. For additional information on the Pacific

Coast halibut fishery, the reader is referred to Section 12 of this publication, Review of Certain Major

Fisheries.

WHALING

A total of 261 whales was taken off California in 1958-24 more than in 1957. The catch was

processed into 3.2 million pounds of sperm and whale oil, 3.8 million pounds of whale meal, and 3.6

million pounds of whale meat. These products were valued at 808 thousand dollars to the processors.

Compared with the previous year, this was an increase of 40 percent in both volume and value.

The whales were taken by four harpoon vessels based at Point San Pablo and Richmond in San

Francisco Bay. The vessels had a combined net tonnage of 577 tons and were manned by a total of

twenty men. Most of the whales were captured in the vicinity of the Farallon Islands.

Humpback and fin whales accounted for the greater part of the 1958 catch. There were 115 hump-

backs and 109 fin whales taken. The remainder of the catch consisted of 26 blue, 8 sperm, 2 sei, and

one bottlenose whale. This is the first time that blue whales have been taken since the revival of whal-

ing in California. The largest whales taken were finbacks, which ranged from 55 to 68 feet in length.

Humpbacks averaged from 33 to 50 feet, and sperm ranged from 39 to 50 feet.

The season for taking whales, established in accordance with the regulations of the International

Whaling Commission, permits the taking of sperm whales from April 1 to November 30, and other species

from May 1 to October 31. However, in 1958 no sperm whales were taken in April, May, October, or No-

vember. The maximum number of whales was taken in August.

The humpback whales each supplied from six to eight tons of whale meat and about 1800

gallons of oil. The larger finback whales yielded from 12 to 15 tons of meat.

SECTION 8 - GREAT LAKES FISHERIES

The 1958 United States Canadian commercial fish catch from the waters of the Great Lakes and

International Lakes of northern Minnesota amounted to 114 million pounds --7 percent less than in 1957-

United States fishermen accounted for 72 million pounds while the Canadian catch was 42 million

pounds. Compared with 1957, the United States catch was down nearly 4 million pounds while the landings

in Canada declined around 5 million pounds. The decline was noted especially in Lake Erie where

landings were 13.5 million pounds less than in 1957. Lakes Superior and St. Clair had slight decreases.

Lake Huron and the International Lakes, however, showed increases of about 2 million pounds each,

while the catch from Lakes Ontario and Michigan was only slightly greater than for the preceding year.

The 1958 commercial fish catch of 72 million pounds taken by United States fishermen from these

Lakes was valued at nearly 9 million dollars— 5 percent lower in volume and 10 percent lower in value

than in 1957. Blue pike showed the greatest drop in landings with a decline of 3.4 million pounds. Lake

herring production was down 2.5 million pounds, and yellow pike, 1.2 million pounds. Catches of both

yellow perch and sheepshead were down 1 million pounds. Whitefish and lake trout also showed small

declines. Increases occurred in landings of smelt (up 2.3 million pounds), carp (up 1.2 million pounds),

alewives (up 1.1 million pounds), and tullibees (up 1.1 million pounds). Landings of lake trout continued

the downward trend which began after 1944. In that year the catch of lake trout amounted to 10,604,000

pounds. The catch declined each year since 1944 and in 1958 amounted to only 1,061,000 pounds — the

smallest production since catch statistics have been collected. A similar decline occurred in the catch

of whitefish. Landings of this species totaled a record 12,250,000 pounds in 1948. However catches

declined almost continuously since that year and in 1958 amounted to only 695,000 pounds. Lake trout

and whitefish were formerly the money fish of the Great Lakes, and the success or failure of the fishing

season depended on the quantity of these species taken. The cause for the decline of lake trout is

attributed to the sea lamprey. The depredations of this enemy on the whitefish population are also

evident.

Landings of blue pike, mainly from Lake Erie, declined drastically in both 1957 and 1958. In

1956 over 6.9 million pounds were landed, but in 1958 only a little over a half million pounds were

taken. All of the major species except carp were taken in much less quantity in Lake Erie in 1958

than in 1957. The increased landings in Lake Huron were due to larger catches of carp and chubs.

The Great Lakes Fisheries Commission, a joint commission of the United States and Canada for

scientific investigations of the fisheries, continued research on control measures of the sea lamprey.

Electric barriers to capture the adult lampreys were operated again in many streams flowing into the

Great Lakes. As a result of the successful testing of lavicides during 1957, many streams were treated

during 1958 with the chemicals which had proven effective in killing the larva lampreys. As it takes

several years for larva lampreys to develop into adults, it will be three to four years before the popula-

tion of the parasitic adults will be reduced.

An overall program of study and research on the fisheries of the Great Lakes was started in 1958.

Testing of various fishing methods began, especially the use of the otter trawl. A survey was conducted

as to the volume of fish utilized by the breeders of fur animals, especially mink, in the Great Lakes

region. Plans were laid for an economic study of the fisheries of this area. With the establishment of

a regional office at Ann Arbor during the year, it was possible to inaugurate a coordinated program of

Bureau of Commercial Fisheries activity for the Great Lakes Fisheries.

Much of the data in this section were assembled and prepared for publication by the Bureau's

Branch of Statistics and Branch of Anadromous and Inland Fisheries from information collected by the

following agencies: Dominion Bureau of Statistics of Canada; Illinois Department of Conservation

Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Fish and Game; Michigan Department of Conservation

Minnesota Department of Conservation; New York Conservation Department, Division of Fish and Game

Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Section of Fish Management; Pennsylvania Fish Commission

and Wisconsin Conservation Department.

Condensed summary data of the operating units and catch of the Great Lakes Fisheries appearing

on the following pages have previously been published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2199. Seasonal

variations in the catch of fish landed in Ohio can be ascertained from monthly landings bulletins issued

currently in cooperation with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Section of Fish Management.

Additional specific data on many aspects of the Great Lakes Fisheries may be found in the daily, month-

ly, and yearly reports published by the Bureau's Chicago Market News Office.

GREAT LAKES CATCH, 1952 - 1958

Millions of Pounds

1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958

SECTION 9 - MISSISSIPPI RIVER FISHERIES

The 1958 commercial catch of fish and shellfish from the waters of the extensive Mississippi River

drainage area amounted to 75 million pounds valued at 7 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared

with 1957 this represented a decrease of 3 percent in volume but an increase of 3 percent in value.

During 1958 there were 9,837 fishermen employed in making the catch as compared with 13,830 in 1957.

The most notable decline occurred in the mussel shell fisheries --down 40 percent compared with 1957.

The principal reason for the decline was the replacement of the natural pearl button with the synthetic

button resulting in the loss of this market to the mussel shell fishermen.

Wisconsin led all other States in volume of production (12.9 million pounds) with 17 percent of the

total, followed by Louisiana with 15 percent, Minnesota with 12 percent, and Illinois and Tennessee

with 10 percent each. Louisiana led all States in value with 23 percent of the total value, followed by

Arkansas with 12 percent, Illinois and Minnesota with 10 percent each, and Tennessee with 9 percent.

The Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers were the leading producing waters during 1958 accounting

for 31.2 million pounds or 42 percent of the total area landings. Carp (19.7 million pounds) led all other

species in volume followed by buffalofish (14.6 million pounds) and mussel shells (11.4 million pounds).

These three species accounted for 61 percent of the total commercial catch in the area. The remainder

of the catch was made up mainly of catfish, bullheads, and sheepshead.

Fish such as carp, buffalofish, bullheads, garfish, and quillback, taken as a result of lake and

stream management programs and the operating units employed in taking these fish, have been included

in the data appearing in this section only when the fish were marketed through commercial channels.

In some States these fish comprised the majority of the catch.

Interest in utilizing rice fields for, crops of fish and rice developed to the extent that Congress

appropriated sufficient funds to establish a laboratory in Arkansas for the purpose of assisting in this

development. The program will also explore the feasibility of holding quantities of fisl in rice fields

until the most favorable time to market.

Drainage of lowlands discharging into the Mississippi and the building of dams for flood control

and power purposes continued to alter the flow and discharge of the Mississippi River.

The decline of the mussel shell industry in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee was the

most noticeable change occurring in the economy of the fisheries of this area.

SECTION 10 - ALASKA FISHERIES

The year 1958 was significant for the Alaskan fisheries for a number of reasons. Alaska attained

Statehood. Late in the year the Secretary of Interior indicated that he would take action to abolish the

use of salmon traps in the State except for a limited number of native traps in Southeastern Alaska.

Freezership operations in Western Alaska were greatly reduced. The Territory experienced the largest

catch of pink salmon since 1951 and the smallest catch of red or sockeye since full-scale canning of

these fish began.

The 1958 catch of fishery products in Alaska amounted to 379 million pounds valued at 33 million

dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1957 the catch increased 8 million pounds (2 percent) and the

value was up about 2 million dollars (5 percent). The catch was taken by 12,136 fishermen using 7,758

fishing craft of all sizes.

Salmon landings were up nearly 19 percent due principally to larger runs of pinks. The catch of

this species, amounting to 120.7 million pounds, was 123 percent greater than in 1957 although it wasstill far below that for most former years. The large run of pink salmon occurred all along the Alaskan

coast. The central section accounted for the largest share with slightly more than 60 million pounds,

followed by Southeastern Alaska with 53 million pounds. An unusually large run of pink salmon took

place in Western Alaska, and the pack of these fish in that area was the largest since 1920.

Since red salmon runs were down sharply in all areas, the total catch of this species was 41 per-

cent less than in 1957. In Western Alaska, the major red salmon area, the 1958 catch of 19.7 million

pounds was less than half the previous year's production, and was less than 12 percent of the record

1938 catch. Red salmon, which usually make up approximately one third of the total pack, fell to 16

percent. Part of the decline in the run was believed due to Japanese off shore operations, which con-

tinued to take a heavy toll of the red salmon destined for Bristol Bay. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries

Management officials limited domestic fishermen to two days fishing per week for the four and one-half

week season.

Both silver and chum salmon production declined in volume. Despite the increase in the volume

and value of the pink salmon catch, the production of higher- priced red or sockeye was so small that

while the volume of the total salmon catch increased 19 percent, the value was up only 7 percent.

Halibut, king crab, and herring landings decreased in volume, while the shrimp fishery concentrated

in the southeastern part of the Territory, expanded rapidly in 1958. Landings of shrimp increased from

2.4 million pounds in 1957 to 7.9 million pounds in 1958. Scarcity of shrimp in the South Atlantic and

Gulf area of the United States and the consequent higher price in that area set the stage for an expanded

fishery for this species in the Territory. The introduction of peeling machines made it economically

feasible to process this shrimp in volume. The result was a threefold increase in the canned product.

The king crab fishery, mainstay of the Alaska crab fishery, demonstrated a tendency to shift from

the deep water to inshore operations particularly in the Shumagin and Kodiak Island areas. As is some-

times the case in a shifting fishery, there was a loss in both volume and value of landings (both were

down 14 percent.

Despite increases elsewhere in the Northwest Pacific, the take of halibut by United States craft

landings at Alaska ports and at Prince Rupert, B. C, decreased 5 percent (26.4 million pounds) from

the 27.7 million pounds landed in 1957. The effect of the decreased volume was offset by a 19 percent

increase in total value. The International Pacific Halibut Commission opened the waters in the Bering

Sea and West of the Shumagin Islands early in 1958 and gave the halibut fleet 34 additional days of

fishing time without a quota. However, since most of the Alaskan halibut fleet also fishes for salmon

and as a regulation limits the length of purse seine salmon vessels, often used in halibut fishing, to

50 feet or less in most areas, few Alaska vessels were able to take advantage of this added time.

ALASKA FISHERIES

Following the predictions of the Bureau's biologists, the herring catch declined 25 percent during

1958. While the entire fishery suffered from a scarcity of fish, the Kodiak area suffered a disastrous

season and the same was true of the Prince William Sound area. On the other hand, Southeastern Alaska

had a very good season but its herring landings were not sufficient to offset the lower catches in the

central region.

Statistics on the fisheries of Alaska were collected and compiled by the Bureau of Commercial

Fisheries, Branch of Alaska Fisheries. The information contained in the following tables has previously

been published in Current Fishery Statistics No. 2073. In the latter publication, data on the catch of

razor clams are shown on a shell-weight basis. In this report, data on the catch of this item represent

the weight of meats as is the case for all other sections. Previous to 1957, contrary to the procedure

in other areas, Alaskan catch statistics for univalve and bivalve mollusks, published in Fishery Statistics

of the United States, represented the shell-weight of these items.

SECTION 12

REVIEW OF CERTAIN MAJOR FISHERIES

There are presented in this Section of the Digest, complete data on the catch of certain of the

major species of fish and shellfish taken on a commercial scale in the United States and Alaska. Addi-

tional information is presented on the operating units engaged in the menhaden purse seine, the shrimp

and fish otter trawl, and the tuna fisheries. Although the data on catch are included in the detailed catch

tables of the various states, they have been repeated in individual fishery tables in this portion of the

report to provide readers with a single source of catch data for cod, haddock, halibut, Pacific mackerel,

jack mackerel, menhaden, Atlantic ocean perch, Pacific sardines, salmon, tuna, oysters, clams, crabs,

and shrimp. Most of the above species are taken by fishermen operating in several states or districts,

and a number are taken by several types of fishing gear. Because of this, the casual reader of the Di-

gest often experiences difficulty in locating complete data on the catch of the species in individual

state catch tables. The information contained in this section includes the volume and value of the

catch by individual typ^s of gear and by states and districts.

PRINCIPAL UNITED STATES AND ALASKA FISHERIES

ALASKA

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA COD FISHERY

United States and Alaska fishermen landed 54 million pounds of cod valued at 3.6 million dollars

in 1958. This was an increase of 8 million pounds or 18 percent in volume and 842 thousand dollars or

30 percent in value compared with the 1957 catch.

Otter trawls accounted for 88 percent of the cod catch; lines of all types, 8 percent; and gill n^ts,

4 percent. 1 ess than 1 percent was taken by other types of gear.

landings at Massachusetts ports, amounting to 33.6 million pounds, represented 62 percent of

the total catch. Washington was next with 12.3 million pounds, followed by Maine (2.7 million pounds)

and New York (2.2 million pounds).

ATLANTIC COAST HADDOCK FISHERY

The haddock fishery of the United States is confined to the Atlantic coast. The catch during 1958totaled 119.6 million pounds valued at 11.7 million dollars. Compared with the previous year, this repre-

sented a decrease of 14 million pounds or 10 percent in volume but an increase of 1.5 million dollars

or 15 percent in value. The decrease in landings was the result of the smaller stock of haddock on the

fishing banks and inclement weather during the winter months. However, because of the higher prices

paid for haddock, which averaged 2.18 cents per pound more than in 1957, more trips were made to the

fishing banks.

Landings at Massachusetts ports accounted for 97 percent of the total catch. The remainder waslanded largely in Maine with only minor quantities delivered to ports in Rhode Island, Connecticut, NewYork, and New Jersey.

Otter trawls landed 98 percent of the total production of haddock while lines, gill nets, and dredges,

accounted for the remaining 2 percent.

About two-thirds of the haddock catch was taken on Georges Bank and in South Channel off Massa-

chusetts and over 20 percent from Nova Scotian Banks.

PACIFIC COAST HALIBUT FISHERY

The 1958 North Pacific halibut catch of the United States and Canadian craft which landed at

Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and British Columbia ports totaled 64.9 million pounds (dressed weight)

valued at 13.7 million dollars. This was 2.8 million pounds and 3 million dollars more than the volumeand value of the 1957 production. The Canadian fleet landed around 4 million pounds more in 1958 than

during the previous year while deliveries by the United States fleet declined over 1 million pounds.

Landings by the Canadian fleet were the largest in history. The number of United States operated halibut

vessels was 67 less than in 1957. The average price paid to fishermen during 1958 was 3.9 cents higher

than in 1957.

The 1958 Pacific halibut fishing season opened May 4 in Areas 1A, IB, 2 and 3A. Area 3B opened

on April 1. The fishing season in Area IB and 2 closed July 2, a 59-day period — but because of a vol-

untary agreement to start fishing on May 20, actual fishing took place for only 38 days. The second

season in Areas IB and 2 opened on August 31 for a 7-day period with no catch limits. There was no

second halibut season in Areas 1A, 3A, and 3B. The season in Area 3A closed on August 31 after 119

days fishing when the quota of 30 million pounds had been taken. Areas 1A and 3B remained opened to

halibut fishing until October 16.

Data on the landings of halibut in the following tables represent the dressed weight of the fish,

i.e. the weight on which the quota is based. In the other tables of this report, halibut landed in Canadaby vessels of United States registry, is credited to Alaska. Data on the dressed weight of halibut ap-

pearing in this Section can be converted to round weight by multiplying by 1.33

1/ IN ADDITION THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 100,000 POUNDS OF "NORTHERN" HALIBUT LANDED IN CALIFORNIA".

NOTE:—STATISTICS IN THE ABOVE TABLE WERE COMPILED FROM DATA COLLECTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL PACIFIC HALIBUTCOMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND BRITISH COLUMBIA, AND BY THE BUREAU OF COMMERCIAL FISHERIES FOR ALASKA. THEQUANTITIES SHOWN IN THE ABOVE TABLE REPRESENT DRESSED WEIGHTS OF THE FISH.

ATLANTIC OCEAN PERCH FISHERY

The catch of Atlantic ocean perch in 1958 totaled 148.6 million pounds valued at nearly 6.3

million dollars. This represented an increase of 14.7 million pounds and 1.2 million dollars — up 11

percent in volume and 23 percent in value compared with 1957. All the 1958 production of Atlantic ocean

perch was taken by otter trawls and was landed in the States of Maine and Massachusetts.

Landings of ocean perch at Maine ports during 1958 were 71.1 million pounds valued at 3.0 million

dollars. The Maine landings accounted for nearly 48 percent of the total catch, about the same proportion

as in 1957.

The banks off Nova Scotia were the principal fishing grounds of the Massachusetts fleet, account-

ing for 70 percent of the Massachusetts landings of ocean perch. The banks off the New England States

were next with 17 percent. Nearly 1 percent was taken off Labrador. None were taken in 1957 in this

area. The catch in the Gulf of St. Lawrence was nearly 7 million pounds in 1958 — less than half the 17

million pounds taken in these waters in 1957. The Massachusetts fleet shifted more of its 1958 activity

from the Gulf of St. Lawrence and off New England to the banks off Nova Scotia.

Practically all the catch of Atlantic ocean perch is filleted and frozen. Fishermen received an av-

erage of 4.22 cents per pound for the 1958 catch — one-third of a cent more than in 1957.

LARGE OTTER TRAWLER


PACIFIC COAST SALMON FISHERY

The salmon catch for 1958 on the Pacific Coast of the United States and Alaska amounted to 307million pounds valued at nearly 46 million dollars to the fishermen. This was an increase of 16 percentin both volume and value and was due to the increased catch of pink salmon in Alaska. Compared with

1956, the last cycle year for pink salmon, the 1958 take was up 18 percent. The total salmon productionin Alaska was 241 million pounds while in the Pacific Coast States it was 66 million pounds.

There were several large fluctuations by species and areas. The red salmon run in the Bristol Baydistrict of Alaska was the smallest recorded while the Fraser River run of red salmon, shared by UnitedStates and Canadian fishermen, was the largest since 1913. Pink salmon showed up in unexpected num-bers in one part of Bristol Bay and in Prince William Sound. In other districts, pink were scarce.

Purse seines were the most important gear used in taking salmon in 1958 accounting for 41 per-

cent of the total catch. Gill nets were in second place with 26 percent; followed by pound nets,

20 percent; and lines of all types, 8 percent. The remaining 5 percent was taken by haul seines, reef

nets, dip nets and wheels.

PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY

The 1958 catch of Pacific sardines amounted to 207.4 million pounds valued at 5.4 million dollars.

Compared with 1957, this was an increase of 161.6 million pounds or 352 percent in volume and 3.7 mil-

lion dollars or 204 percent in value. This was the largest catch of Pacific sardines since 1951. A

greater catch could have been taken had not canners been forced to limit purchases because of large

inventories.

Landings in the San Pedro district accounted for 69 percent of the total. The Santa Barbara dis-

trict was next with 23 percent. Monterey district, which in 1957 reported only 32 thousand pounds, landed

nearly 17 million pounds in 1958, or 8 percent of the total.

PACIFIC COAST MACKEREL FISHERIES

The 1958 catch of Pacific and jack mackerel amounted to 49.7 million pounds valued at 1.2 million

dollars. This was 94.3 million pounds and 1.6 million dollars below the 1957 volume and value. Com-

pared with 1957, Pacific mackerel (27.6 million pounds) was down 34.4 million pounds and jack mackerel

(22.1 million pounds) declined 59.9 million pounds. There was no definite explanation for the sharp

decline in mackerel catches, although high water temperatures off Southern California may have been

responsible.

Ex-vessel prices paid for both species of mackerel were the same --$42.50 per ton until September

1, when the price was advanced to S50.00 per ton for both species. This price remained in effect until

the end of the year.

The major landings of Pacific mackerel were made in the San Pedro district (86 percent) and this

port also received most of the jack mackerel (57 percent).

Purse seines and lampara nets took 62 percent of the Pacific mackerel and 73 percent of the jack

mackerel. The catch by brail or scoop nets for both species in 1958 was about double that of 1957, and

accounted for 38 percent of the Pacific mackerel and 27 percent of the jack mackerel catch.

PACIFIC COAST TUNA FISHERY

The 1958 domestic catch of tuna landed at Pacific Coast ports totaled 316.3 million pounds valued

at 42.9 million dollars. Compared with the 1957 catch, this represented an increase of 21.2 million

pounds or 7 percent in volume and 5.6 million dollars or 15 percent in value. The California tuna-clip-

per fishery operated unrestricted by.tie-ups for the first time in many years, due largely to the auction

method of selling tuna at San Diego for the American Tuna Boat Association member vessels.

Although lines of various types continued to be the principal method of taking tuna, the catch by

purse seines increased and represented 24 percent of the total, compared with only 20 percent during

1957.

There is included a detailed summary of the operating units engaged in the Pacific Coast tuna fish-

ery. In 1958, a total of 6,646 fishermen, 1,512 vessels, 311 motor boats, and 480 accessory boats en-

gaged in the United States Pacific Coast tuna fishery.

ATLANTIC AND GULF COAST MENHADEN FISHERY

The 1958 menhaden catch amounted to nearly 1.6 billion pounds valued at 21.9 million dollars.

This represented a decrease of 141 million pounds or 8 percent in volume and 278 thousand dollars or

about 1 percent in value compared with 1957 landings. The menhaden catch in New England and Middle

Atlantic areas was down. Although the Chesapeake, South Atlantic, and Gulf areas reflected an in-

crease in landings, it was not great enough to overcome the lower production from the northern areas.

Purse seines accounted for 98 percent of the 1958 menhaden catch. Other types of gear (pound

nets, haul seines, gill nets, fyke nets, floating traps, and otter trawls) accounted for the remaining 2

percent.

Of the total, 34 percent was landed in the Middle Atlantic area, 28 percent in the Gulf area, 21

percent in the Chesapeake area, 16 percent in the South Atlantic area, and 1 percent in New England.

There is included in this section, for the second year, a detailed summary of operating units en-

gaged in the Atlantic and Gulf Coast menhaden purse seine fishery. During 1958, a total of 4,544 fisher-

men, 201 vessels, and 587 accessory boats were engaged in the menhaden fishery.

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA CLAM FISHERY

During 1958, the production of clam meats in the United States and Alaska totaled 36.4 million

pounds valued at 10.5 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1957, this represented a decrease

of 9 percent in volume and 6 percent in value.

The Middle Atlantic led all other areas in the yield of clam meats with 57 percent of the total

production. The New England area (23 percent) was in second place followed by the Chesapeake States

with 16 percent. The remaining 4 percent was taken in the South Atlantic, Gulf, Pacific Coast, and

Alaska areas.

Dredges accounted for 22.6 million pounds or 62 percent of the total clam meat production, while

tongs, with 5.6 million pounds, accounted for 15 percent. The remainder of the catch was taken with

rakes, hoes, forks and shovels, or gathered by hand.

In Section 14 of this Digest, under the heading "Conversion Factors," there is a table which gives

the average State yield per United States standard bushel for the clams taken on the Atlantic and Gulf

Coasts. Supplementary shellfish tables appear after the summary tables for each Atlantic and Gulf re-

gional section.

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA CRAB FISHERY

The catch of crabs in the United States and Alaska in 1958 totaled 166.4 million pounds valued at

12.4 million dollars to the fishermen. Compared with 1957, this was a decrease of 5.0 million pounds or

3 percent in volume but an increase of 141 thousand dollars or 1 percent in value.

The Chesapeake States (49.5 million pounds) led all other areas in production accounting for near-

ly 30 percent of the total. The Pacific States were in second place with 40.5 million pounds or 24 per-

cent. The production of blue crabs was 110.9 million pounds or 67 percent of the total, while Dungeness

crabs (42.1 million pounds) from the Pacific Coast accounted for 25 percent. The remainder (8 percent)

consisted of king crabs from Alaska, stone crabs from Florida, and rock crabs from New England and

California.

In Section 14 of this Digest, under the heading "Conversion Factors", is a table which gives the

average number of crabs per pound by species for each of the Atlantic Coast and Gulf States. Supple-

mentary shellfish tables are shown after the summary tables for each Atlantic and Gulf regional section.

UNITED STATES OYSTER FISHERY

The United States 1958 oyster catch amounted to 66.4 million pounds of meats valued at 30.4 mil-

lion dollars representing a decrease of 5.3 million pounds or 7 percent in volume but an increase of 1.0

million dollars or 4 percent in value compared with 1957. Compared with the previous year, the 1958

landings were down in all areas except the Chesapeake.

The Chesapeake led all other areas accounting for 57 percent of the 1958 total catch. The Pacific

Coast States area was in second place with 17 percent followed by the Gulf area (16 percent). The re-

maining 10 percent was landed in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and South Atlantic States.

Dredges accounted for 47.2 million pounds of meats or 71 percent of the total oyster catch while

tongs (17.3 million pounds) accounted for 26 percent. The remainder of the catch was taken by rakes

and grabs or gathered by hand.

In Section 14 of this Digest is a table which gives the volume of the bushel measures used for

oysters in the various Atlantic and Gulf States and the average yield per bushel. Supplementary shell-

fish tables appear after the summary tables for each Atlantic and Gulf regional section.

UNITED STATES AND ALASKA SHRIMP FISHERY

The 1958 catch of shrimp in the United States and Alaska totaled 213.8 million pounds valued at

72.9 million dollars. This represented an increase of 10.0 million pounds or 5 percent in volume while

the value of the catch remained nearly the same as the previous year. Production in the South Atlantic

area (22.6 million pounds) was 21 percent less than in 1957. The Gulf States catch (173.4 million

pounds) was up 3 percent and the Pacific Coast States and Alaska totaled landings (17.9 million pounds)

increased 163 percent compared with 1957.

Otter trawls accounted for 95 percent of the total landings while beam trawls accounted for 4 per-

cent. The remaining 1 percent of the catch was taken by bag nets, cast nets, pots, and push nets.

There is included in this section, a detailed summary of the operating units engaged in the United

States and Alaska shrimp otter-trawl fishery which includes data on the number of vessels operated in

each State and region by tonnage classifications. The latter information had jiot previously been assem-

bled. During 1958, a total of 16,163 fishermen was engaged on 7,323 fishing craft which operated in

the United States and Alaska shrimp otter- trawl fishery.

UNITED STATES SUMMARY OF FISH OTTER TRAWL FLEET

There is included in this Section, detailed summaries of the United States fish otter trawl fleet.

They contain detailed information on the operating units engaged in this fishery and a breakdown of

vessels by area, state, and net tonnage. Data in this detail were first published for 1957. These data

lad not previously been available since it had not been possible to determine from regular operating unit

tables, the duplication between areas, in fishermen and craft. For the first time fish otter- trawl ves-

sels operating two trawls were reported. This occurred in Louisiana where 23 vessels taking trash fish

used two trawls.

SECTION 13 - HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS

Statistics of the fisheries of the United States are necessary for the best use of the Nation's aquat-

ic resources. As series of data for extended periods of time are accumulated, the information becomes

increasingly more valuable in indicating trends in the supply and utilization of fishery products. The

extent to which these data are used is frequently dependent upon the ready availability of needed infor-

mation to researchers, management officials, and members of the fishing industry.

Periodically there are published in "Fishery Statistics of the United Sta'tes" historical data for

each State on the catch of important species. The most recent publication of these data was in Statis-

tical Digest No. 43, entitled "Fishery Statistics of the United States, 1956."

The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries has in its files and in various Bureau reports or publications

of other organizations a large volume of historical data. These statistics would be of considerable use

to researchers and others interested in the fisheries. Unfortunately, few know of these records. To

make the series readily available, a section entitled "Historical Fishery Statistics" has been published,

since 1951, in "Fishery Statistics of the United States." The titles of the series published, and the

identifying number of the Digest in which each appears, follow:

Published in

The eighth series of historical data containing information on the United States Atlantic catch of

cod is included in the following pages.

UNITED STATES ATLANTIC COD FISHERY, 1893 - 1958

The Atlantic Ocean Cod, Gains morhua, is typically but not exclusively a groundfish, since it

often roams freely above the rocks and ledges and ascends even to the surface. Its habitat ranges gen-

erally on both sides of the North Atlantic. In the western Atlantic it is found as far north as West Green-

land, Davis Strait, Resolution Island, Hudson Strait, and south to North Carolina. Cod become

increasingly dominant off Nova Scotia and occur in greater abundance than any other bottomfish on the

Newfoundland banks and those to the north. They frequent a considerable range of depths from shallow

coastal waters to off-shore depths of 900 feet.

Cod spawn over a wide area from the New Jersey Coast eastward with a concentration on eastern

Georges Bank. Here cod grow to about VA inches in their first year and reach 15 to 16 inches at two

years of age. Cod may grow to a length greater than six feet and a weight of more than 200 pounds.

However, the commercial catch is made up principally of fish weighing 2% to 25 pounds. Because of

their variable swimming habits, cod are taken in a number of ways: hand lines, trawl lines, otter trawls,

gill nets, and pound nets.

The cod fishery was important in the history of the new world. When European civilizations were

expanding, their fishermen began operating farther and farther from their native shores. The Norwegians,

or Norsemen, reached Iceland in the ninth century where they established a colony. Cod fishing became

the colony's chief occupation, and the fish served as currency in the payment of rents and other dues.

Sixteenth century fishermen of France, Spain, Portugal, and England extended the economic fron-

teirs of Europe to the New World. The attraction of North America was not gold, as in Peru, but cod

and whales. Newfoundland, where cod fishermen spent the summer months, became a bridgehead for

colonization.

HISTORICAL FISHERY STATISTICS

By the end of the sixteenth century, there were important cod fisheries not only on the great banks

but also in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. From the middle of the seventeenth century, salt cod was an

important export item to European countries by New England firms. Cod fishing made up a significant

part of the economy in northeastern North America for many years. In gratitude, the House of Represent-

atives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed a motion in 1784 to hang an image of the cod in

its meeting place, where it hangs to this day.

In the last century when salting was the only economical way to preserve fish, the cod, which was

especially adaptable to this method of preservation, came to support a large fishery in the United States.

During the early years, of the Bureau's recorded statistics, Atlantic cod was a major item in the United

States catch with peak production in excess of 200 million pounds.

The catch which had averaged 172 million pounds during the period from 1893 to 1899 declined

to an average of 140 million pounds in the years from 1900 to 1914 It averaged about 90 million pounds

during World War I, and remained fairly stable until the period 1933 to 1939 when production increased

to an average of nearly 122 million pounds. In only two years following 1939 did the catch exceed 100

million pounds, and in the years from 1952 to 1957 it was less than 40 million pounds. In 1953 only

32.7 million pounds were taken — the smallest catch on record. The 1958 production amounting to 41

million pounds accounted for less than 1 percent of the total United States catch of all species.

Among the factors which contributed to the decline of the United States cod fishery were the sharp-

ly reduced demand for salt cod brought about by the development of refrigeration, and the beginning of

the domestic filleting industry which utilized haddock, ocean perch, and other species in addition to cod.

The United States no longer occupies a place of prominence in the Northwest Atlantic cod fishery,

which yielded a catch of 1.9 billion pounds in 1958. The United States ranked eighth among a group

of twelve nations taking cod in the Northwest Atlantic -the first of which was Canada, followed by

Portugal, France, and Spain. The domestic catch was only two percent of the total.

States to reflect final catch figures and small landings made south of

Despite the decline in the United States cod catch, the domestic consumption of this fish in

1958 was the highest in history due to large imports of cod fillets, principally from Canada and Iceland.

In 1958 nearly 120 million pounds of frozen cod fillets, blocks and slabs, and blocks of bits and pieces

were imported. A catch of nearly 300 million pounds of cod was required to produce these items.

SECTION 14

STATISTICAL SURVEY PROCEDURE

This report is another in a series of annual statistical reports containing data on the quantity

and value of the commercial catch of fishery products and the numbers of persons and operating units

engaged in the commercial fisheries of the' United States and Alaska. The report has been prepared

and published by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Fish and Wildlife Service, United States Depart-

ment of the Interior, and is a continuation of a series inaugurated by its predecessor organizations in

the Departments of Interior, Commerce, Commerce and Labor, and the United States Fish Commission.

In order that those who use the statistical data contained in this and previous reports may be

informed as to the source of the figures and methods for their collection, it has been deemed advisable

to outline, in moderate detail, the survey procedure followed. This procedure has been developed

over a period of years, and changes in methods have been made at times when such changes have

appeared to work toward general improvement. While the surveys in the several sections are not made

in the same manner, owing to varying facilities and records in different states, an attempt has been

made to make the data collected by various methods comparable with respect to the same year as well

as over a period of years. Throughout the entire plan it has been the intention to coordinate State and

Federal fishery statistical work so that there will be as little duplication of effort as possible.

SECTIONAL SURVEYS

Statistical surveys of the fisheries and fishery industries of the various sections of the United

States occupy by far the greatest part of the time of the personnel of the Branch of Statistics. In the

course of these surveys, the field representatives visit the individual fishing localities of the various

States to collect statistics on the volume and value of the catch of fish and shellfish, employment in

the fisheries, quantity of fishing gear, number and classification of fishing and transporting craft,

and the volume and value of manufactured fishery products and byproducts. The various phases of

these surveys are discussed in detail in the sections following.

History -The first comprehensive statistical survey of the fisheries and fishery industries of

the United States was made for the year 1880 by George Brown Goode, Assistant Director of the United

States National Museum, and associates, with the cooperation of the Commissioner of Fisheries and

the Superintendent of the Tenth Census. Data for specific fisheries, or restricted sections for years

prior to 1880, also were collected in the early survey and recorded in Mr. Goode's reports. The survey

for 1880, however, did not include the Mississippi river and its tributaries. Periodic general surveys

of a limited number of States or limited areas of the United States were made for various of the in-

tervening years between 1880 and 1908 and from 1909 to 1928. A survey of the entire United States

was made for 1908. The next general survey of the entire United States was not made until 1931,

although complete data for all sections, excluding the Mississippi River and its tributaries, were

collected for 1929 and 1930. Complete data on the catch and operating units for these same sections

were also collected for 1932. In the latter survey, however, lack of sufficient funds prohibited col-

lection of data on the wholesale and manufacturing operations except those data collected as a part

of the canned fishery products and byproducts survey. Various sections were surveyed during the

years from 1933 to 1949, inclusive. A complete survey of all sections of the country was made for

1950. Since 1951, all of the coastal areas were canvassed annually, and catch records were obtained

for the Lakes section. Complete operating unit and catch data have been obtained for all areas since

1954. Data on the wholesale and manufacturing industries were collected in all of the surveys from

1933 to 1940, inclusive. In the years from 1941 to 1949 inclusive and in 1951 lack of personnel and

funds precluded the collection of data on wholesale and manufacturing firms except for those data

collected as part of the canned fishery products, byproducts, and packaged fish surveys.

The chart on the following page indicates the years for which surveys have been made in the

various sections. Figures for more recent years are available from the Service in bulletin form, but

data for the earlier years are available only in the Fish Commission and Bureau of Fisheries printed

reports. These reports are available for reference in the Department of the Interior library and in

many public libraries.

Since the surveys of the fisheries have varied in completeness three legends have been used for

the years shown in the chart to indicate whether complete, partial, or no surveys were conducted in the

individual regions. The designation 'complete survey' has been used to indicate that basic operating

unit and catch data were obtained and that complete information was collected on employment in whole-

sale and manufacturing establishments and on the production of manufactured fishery products. The

legend 'partial survey' usually indicates that operating unit and catch statistics were collected, but

that no information was obtained on employment in wholesale and manufacturing establishments and

that only partial data were obtained on the production of manufactured fishery products. In some in-

stances the designation 'partial survey' is used for regions in which only catch statistics were col-

lected. The legend 'no survey' indicates that a general canvass was not conducted to obtain operating

unit, catch, employment in wholesale and manufacturing plants, and complete manufactured products

data. Although the charts indicated that in certain regions no surveys were conducted some informa-

tion may be availableon the landings at certain important ports. Likewise information on the catch of

certain species, such as menhaden, may be available as a result of data collected in connection with

the annual canned fish and byproducts survey. Data on the annual production of canned fishery prod-

ucts and byproducts have been collected for all regions since 1921, while information was obtained on

the production of packaged fish for 1926 and annually since 1928.

A bibliography listing the various surveys made since 1880 and the publications in which the

results were published appeared in Statistical Digest No. 43. A list of the statistical bulletins in the

Current Fishery Statistics series published during 1958 may be found in Section 17 of this digest.

Field Personnel — The statistics contained in this volume have been collected by a group of

trained marketing specialists which comprise a part of the permanent staff of the Bureau of Commercial

Fisheries of this Service.

Period Covered -These specialists are assigned permanent field stations, generally in the princi-

pal port within their field, and travel from that station in conducting their various surveys. They nor-

mally collect statistics of fishery operations for the year preceding that in which they are working; and

since their field work occupies the greater part of the year, it is usually six to ten months from the end of

the calendar year for which they are collecting data before the figures are available. The data usually

are collected and published on a calendar year basis, although for some States they are on a fiscal

year basis. Prior to 1930, statistics on the catch of oysters in the Atlantic and Gulf States were

collected for the oyster season; that is, from September to April, inclusive. Beginning with 1930 and

continuing to the present time, they have been collected on the basis of the calendar year.

Scope — The coastal statistical surveys include canvasses of the commercial fisheries of the

oceans and bays and of the coastal rivers as far inland as commercial fishing is important. This usual-

ly coincides with the range of commercial fishing for anadromous species. Statistics on the fisheries

of the Mississippi River cover canvasses of the fisheries of the Mississippi River proper as well as

all of its tributaries wherein commercial fishing for either fish, crustaceans, or mollusks is carried on.

Statistics on the fisheries of the Great Lakes cover canvasses of the fisheries in the lakes proper,

adjacent bays, the International Lakes of northern Minnesota, and rivers which sustain a commercial

fishery having outlets into these waters. Statistics on the fisheries of Florida include the commercial

fisheries in Lake Okeechobee and other inland lakes. Surveys for statistics of the wholesale and

manufacturing fishery industries cover such plants located in the coastal, river, and lake areas adjacent

to the waters mentioned above.

Methods of Collection— Several methods for the collection of fishery statistics are employed, each

of which has been carefully studied to obtain the best results with the available personnel and funds.

In most instances the field personnel obtain from local Customs officials lists of the names of fishing

vessels, names and numbers of motorboats, and names of owners of these craft. Also it usually is

possible to obtain the names of licensed commercial fishermen, fishing craft and some statistics on the

catch from State fishery agencies; from other State, county or city sources; or from private organizations.


Using available preliminary records as a guide, the field specialists visit each fishing community

in their field unless these preliminary records are so complete that personal visits may be eliminated.

If complete catch data are not available from central sources, wholesale dealers and manufacturers of

fishery products are visited and data are obtained from them on their purchases of fishery products.

While it is impossible for the few Bureau representatives available for this work to interview each fish-

erman in a given locality, the more important ones are visited, and a sufficient number of those of

lesser importance are interviewed to obtain reliable information on their production, the number of

fishing craft employed, the quantity of gear operated, and the number of persons employed as fishermen.

The state fishery agencies in a number of states have developed relatively complete statistical

systems which greatly facilitate the Bureau's 'surveys in these states. In such instances the Bureau

conducts only such surveys as may be necessary to make the data comparable with that of other States.

The Bureau obtains from the records of the State fishery agencies most of the catch statistics for

the fisheries of the Great Lakes, the Northern Mississippi River Area, and the International lakes of

Northern Minnesota. To obtain data on the number of fishermen, boats, vessels, and gear, the Bureau

conducts such personal surveys among the fishermen as may be necessary to supplement the State

records.

Bureau statistical personnel are stationed at Astoria, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; and San Pedro,

California for the purpose of surveying the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States. As a rule they ob-

tain from the records of the State fishery departments figures on the volume of the catch. The value

of the catch is derived from state and dealer's records. In Washington and Oregon the data for operat-

ing units in the offshore fisheries are obtained from the records of various fishery organizations as

well as from records of the State Department of Fisheries. Statistics of the wholesale fishery industry

for this section are obtained largely by personal interviews.

In many States, the Bureau and the fishery agency of the respective state cooperate in the col-

lection and publication of current monthly data on the catch. These data form the basis of the annual

catch data published in this report for most of the following States: Alabama, California, Florida,

Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,

Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Texas.

In the administration of the Alaska fisheries, the Bureau requires that copies of all receipts for

fish and shellfish purchased from fishermen be furnished to the Bureau's Division of Resource Man-

agement. The data on these tickets are compiled by the Division and the summary data, by districts,

are reproduced in this report.

Statistics on the volume of the catch of fish in the Great Lakes States usually are shown in

weights as landed, which may be in the round or dressed condition. Statistics on the volume of the

catch of fish taken in the remainder of the United States are usually shown in round weight.

The figures in the tables for shellfish represent the weight of the meats in the cases of univalve

and bivalve mollusks and the round weight of crustaceans and such mollusks as squid and octopus.

Shore and Vessel Fisheries —In general, statistics of the shore fisheries, as collected by the

Bureau's representatives, include data on the number of casual and regular fishermen; number of motor

and other fishing boats and accessory boats (craft of less than 5 net tons capacity are called 'boats');

type and quantity of gear used; and the volume, value, and method of capture of each species for each

locality or group of localities. This method is not followed in some sections where the availability of

data collected by the State fishery agencies obviates the necessity of detailed locality surveys.

Statistics of the vessel fisheries include data on the number in the crew; rig of vessels; net ton-

nage; kind and quantity of gear used; accessory boats carried; and volume, value, and method of capture

of each species. Craft having a capacity of five net tons or over are called 'vessels'. As in the shore

fisheries, the availability of figures collected by State Fishery agencies may eliminate the necessity of

our Bureau agents collecting these data for individual vessels.


Statistics on the quantity of gear operated indicate the maximum number of units fished at any

one time during the year. Gear carried in reserve for replacement is not reported.

All persons engaged in commercial fishing operations are included as fishermen. In most areas

fishermen not on vessels have been divided into 'regular' and 'casual'. Regular fishermen are defined

as those who receive more than one-half of their annual income from fishing; whereas casual fishermen

are those who receive less than one-half of their annual compensation from fishing. On the Pacific

Coast and in Alaska it is impossible to separate regular from casual fishermen.

Since 1942, the catch of fish and shellfish has been credited to the port at which it was landed.

Prior to the survey for that year it was the practice of the Bureau to credit the entire catch of a vessel

to the principal port at which fish or shellfish were unloaded, regardless of the actual point of landing.

This policy was discontinued since it quite often resulted in inconsistencies by crediting catches of

some species to areas far removed from localities in which they are commonly taken. An outstanding

example of this is the Southern trawl fishery conducted off the New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and

North Carolina coasts. It is customary for fishing vessels from Massachusetts to operate in this fish-

ery for 6 to 10 weeks during the winter season. Prior to the survey for 1942 the catch of these vessels,

consisting principally of fish common to Middle Atlantic waters, was credited to Massachusetts. Under

the present system, this catch is credited to the Middle Atlantic ports where it is landed.

Since 1949 on the Pacific Coast and 1951 for the balance of the country, craft, fishermen, and

gear have been reported for each State in which they fished. A total exclusive of duplication is shown

for each section, and for the United States as a whole. Prior to the surveys for 1949, each craft on the

Pacific Coast was credited to its home port unless it did not fish from that port during the year. In

that case, it was credited to the locality where it landed the greatest portion of its catch. Prior to the

survey for 1951, each craft on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and interior waters was credited to the

port where it landed the greatest portion of its catch during the year. This system was chaneed to

provide more accurate data on the total number of craft operating in a given State. With the increased

mobility of the fishing fleet in recent years, the number of vessels fishing in more than one state has

increased greatly.

Beginning with data for 1951, the reporting of units of gear was standardized so that nets or

lines made up of small units for ease in handling, but fastened together in fishing, were counted as a

single unit rather than as a number of smaller units. Prior to 1951, the small units were sometimes

counted as individual pieces of gear even though they were combined for fishing. This rule does not

apply to halibut set or long lines on the Pacific Coast. In this fishery each skate of gear is counted

as one line, even though they are fastened together in fishing, because the International Pacific Halibut

Commission uses a skate of gear as a unit in its studies of fishing intensity.

Publication of Data — Statistics on employment in the fisheries, craft and gear engaged, quantity

and value of catch, and certain data on industries related to the fisheries are summarized according to

geographic divisions and published in bulletin form as soon as possible after the completion of each

survey. Later, the figures, in more detail, are included in the annual reports of the Bureau entitled

'Fishery Statistics of the United States' and in 'Alaska Fishery and Fur-Seal Industries'.

Data on the operating units (fishermen, fishing craft, and gear) and catch by counties for the

Atlantic and Gulf States have been included in these annual statistical reports for the years from 1928

to 1938 except for 1932. These data have also been published in the reports for the years 1945, 1950, and

1955- County data were collected for the areas in which surveys were conducted during the years since

1938, except in Maryland since 1942. The data are on file in the Washington office of the Bureau of

Commercial Fisheries.


LOCAL AND SPECIAL SURVEYS

Landings at Certain Massachusetts Ports — Detailed statistics are collected on the landing's of

aquatic products by individual fishing craft at Boston, Gloucester, New Bedford, Plymouth, Province-

town, and other Cape Cod ports. Bureau representatives are permanently stationed in each of these

areas. They obtain figures on the quantity and value of fish landed daily by fishing craft, the date of

departure and arrival of the craft, the gear used in their capture, and the grounds from which the fish

were taken. The Bureau's Division of Biological Research and the Branch of Market News cooperate

in the collection of these data.

Statistics on the landings at the above ports are released monthly and annually in bulletin form

and detailed data are published in the annual statistical digest of the Bureau. Products of American

Fisheries received duty free at Boston and Gloucester from the treaty coasts of Newfoundland, Magdalen

Islands, and Labrador, have not been included in the landings at these ports since 1938. Data on the

landings at Boston and Gloucester have been collected annually since 1893. Some data are also availa-

ble for these ports for earlier years. Information on landings at New Bedford has been collected annual-

ly since 1938 and at Plymouth, Provincetown, and other Cape Cod ports since 1945.

Shad and Alewife Fisheries - Owing to the importance of the Hudson and Potomac Rivers in the

production of shad, surveys for statistics of the catch, value of the catch, and operating units are

made annually. On the Potomac River similar statistics are also obtained for the alewife fishery.

Much of the data required for these surveys are available from the State fishery agencies.

Statistics of the annual shad and alewife fisheries are not published separately in bulletin form.

However, a summary of the data is published in the annual Statistical Digest.

Statistics of the Hudson River shad fishery are available for 1896, 1897, 1901, 1904, 1910, and

annually since 1915, while data for the Potomac River shad fishery are available for 1896, 1901, 1904,

1909, 1915, from 1919 to 1942, inclusive and annually since 1944. Statistics of the Potomac River

alewife fishery are available for 1896, 1909, 1915, to 1942, inclusive, and annually since 1944.

Pacific Halibut Fishery— Statistics of the Pacific halibut fishery are obtained by the Bureau's

personnel in Seattle, aided by Bureau representatives in Alaska, and the International Pacific Halibut

Commission. Beginning with data for 1956 the fleet classification of halibut craft was revised and

vessels were credited, in operating unit tables, to each district in which they landed fish. The only

exception being that United States vessels landing at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, were credited

to Southeastern Alaska. Duplication of halibut craft which operated in more than one district was

eliminated in regional and national totals. In the section 'Review of Certain Major Fisheries', the

catch is credited to the point where landed. In the other sections of this report, all halibut is credited

to the port where landed, except that all halibut landed by United States and Alaskan craft in British

Columbia is credited to Alaska. Halibut statistics are included in the monthly and annual summaries

published by the Seattle Market News office. Detailed statistics on this fishery are published in the

annual statistical reports of the Division. Statistics on the landings of halibut at Pacific Coast ports

have been collected since 1925.

South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery: - Detailed statistics on the quantity and value

of shrimp, by variety and size, landed at South Atlantic and Gulf ports are collected by Bureau person-

nel stationed at major fishing localities in these areas. In addition, Bureau agents obtain daily in-

formation on the number of fishing trips, area and depth fished, and on time spent in fishing from craft

landing at United States ports in the Gulf of Mexico. The Branch of Market News, the Bureau's Branch

of Marine Fisheries of the Division of Biological Research, and various fishery agencies of the Southern

States cooperate in the collection of these data.

Monthly and annual summaries of the statistics on shrimp landings are published in bulletin form

and are summarized in the annual digests of the Bureau.


Hawaiian Fisheries:— The volume and value, by species, of the catch landed monthly in the

Hawaiian Islands is furnished the Bureau by the Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry

of the Territory of Hawaii, Division of Fish and Game. These data have been published in the Hawaiian

Section of the Digest since 1946. However, the data on volume and value are not included in the catch

tables for the United States and Alaska. The names of the species of fish and shellfish landed in the

Islands are not included in Section 15 of this report.

Canned Fishery Products and Byproducts -- Beginning in 1921, the Bureau has made annual sur-

veys for statistics of the canned fishery products and byproducts industries of every section. These

are begun the first week in January of each year for statistics of the production in the preceding year.

So far as possible, the Bureau obtains by mail from each domestic canned fishery products and byprod-

ucts plant figures on its annual production. Where it is impossible to obtain reports by mail, the report

is secured personally by a Bureau agent. Included in the data obtained are statistics on the yield and

value of the production for each commodity by can size, and trade classification. The value shown is

for canned products and byproducts in the gross amount received by the packer at the production point.

No deductions are made for commissions or expenses. Statistics on canned fishery products and byprod-

ucts in Alaska are collected by the Division of Resource Management in connection with its regular

survey of fishery activities in the Territory.

Annual statistical bulletins are issued on this trade, and detailed statistics are published in the

annual Statistical Digest. Prior to 1Q21, canned fish and byproducts data were not collected for the

entire country. However, data on the production of these products were usually obtained for the areas

in which general canvass surveys were conducted. Since 1921, complete data have been obtained on

the production of canned fish and byproducts in all areas of the country.

Fish Meal, Oil, and Solubles— Data are collected monthly on the domestic production of fish meal,

body oil, fish solubles, and homogenized-condensed fish. This information is released monthly and

annually in bulletin form.

Packaged Fish Trade — Statistics on the annual production and value of fish packaged in the

United States are obtained in conjunction with canned fishery products and byproducts survey. These

data are released annually in bulletin form and in the annual Statistical Digest. Statistics of the pro-

duction of packaged fish are available for 1926 and annually since 1928, except that no data were col-

lected in California for the years 1941 to 1946, inclusive.

Fish Sticks -Quarterly information is collected and published on the production of cooked and

uncooked fish sticks. The data are released in bulletin form.

Cold-Storage Holdings of Fish — Information on the monthly freezings and holdings of fishery prod-

ucts is obtained from cold storage warehouses by mail and by Bureau employees. Data are also obtain-

ed on the holdings of certain cured fish. Bulletins showing these statistics are issued monthly and

annually.

Detailed cold-storage statistics also are published in the annual Statistical Digests issued by

the Bureau. Information regarding cold-storage holdings of fishery products has been published since

1917 while data on the quantity of fish frozen have been released for the years from 1920 to 1925, in-

clusive, and annually since 1928.

Foreign Fishery T rade — Foreign fishery trade statistics are obtained from compilations made by

the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. Statistics on all known imported or exported fish-

ery products have been assembled and published annually since 1926 in the Bureau's Statistical Digest.

For earlier years, figures are available in the reports of the Bureau of the Census, Bureau of Foreign

and Domestic Commerce, the Bureau of Statistics, the Department of Commerce and Labor, or the Treas-

ury Department.


PRACTICES AND TERMS

Certain practices and terms used in this report are explained below.

Operating Units --Operating units as referred to in this report include persons engaged in the fish-

eries, and craft and gear employed in the fisheries.

Vessel — The term 'vessel' refers to a craft having a capacity of five net tons or over.

Boat — The term 'boat' refers to a craft having a capacity of less than five net tons.

Days Absent — In computing 'days absent' for vessels landing fares at the Certain Massachusetts

ports, the day of arrival, but not the day of departure is included; thus a vessel leaving port on the 8th of

the month and returning on the 15th of the month will be credited with 7 days absence. Prior to 1944,

'days absent' included both the day of departure and the day of arrival.

Days Fished -In computing 'days fished' for fishing craft landing shrimp at Gulf of Mexico ports,

the total number of hours spent in fishing effort, has been divided by 24.

Fish — The term 'fish' as used in this report includes all species belonging to the class Pisces.

Shellfish, etc.-- A shellfish is an aquatic invertebrate animal having a shell, such as a mollusk or

crustacean. However, in order to reduce the classifications appearing in the catch tables, all items

not properly listed as 'Fish' or 'Whale Products' have been included under 'Shellfish, etc' Accord-

ingly, there is included under this classification turtles, frogs, sponges, sea weed, and worms.

Whale Products --Since data are not available on the poundage of whales taken, statistics ap-

pearing in catch tables on the yield of these mammals represent the Weight of whale products produced

such as meal, sperm oil, whale oil, etc. The values shown represent the amount received by the manu-

facturer for the products.

Incidental Catch --The term 'incidental catch' refers to the catch of certain species by a type of

gear which ordinarily does not capture such species.

Percentages --Percentages are usually shown as whole numbers. Fractions of percents are drop-

ped if less than five-tenths, and the percentage is raised to the next higher integer if the fraction is

greater than five-tenths. If the fraction is exactly five-tenths, odd integers are raised to the next even

figure while even integers remain unchanged.

Converting — Many of the figures shown in the summary tables published herewith have been con-

verted to thousands of pounds or thousands of dollars. In making these conversions the largest number

from which a group of items is computed is raised or lowered to the nearest thousand. The individual

items are adjusted to conform to the total thus obtained.

Confidential Data -The statistical data collected by the Bureau are confidential, and unless

specific authorization is given, are not released in a manner that would divulge private enterprise.

CONVERSION FACTORS

It is the policy of the Bureau to show detailed catch figures of all products in pounds for the sake

of uniformity and for purposes of comparison. This presents little difficulty in the case of fish since in

very rare instances are fish reported in units of measure other than pounds. For shellfish, however, the

units of measure may be bushels, sacks, barrels, numbers, gallons of meat, etc. These many units make

standardization difficult, and when combined with the wide variation in the requirements or definit, ins of

some of these units in the various States the problem becomes even more complex.


All univalve and bivalve mol I usks (except fresh-water mussel shells) are reported in pounds of meats

in the detailed catch tables presented in this report. In addition, there are included supplementary tables

for most of the sections, which give data on the production in bushels. These supplementary tables also

give the production in number of certain other shellfish, such as crabs. There also is included in the

General Review section of this report a table containing data on the shell weight of univalve and bivalve

mollusks taken.

Oysters — Probably the greatest problem in the presentation of fishery statistics in uniform units

of measure is in the case of oysters. Usually the production of oysters on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts

is reported to Bureau personnel in bushels. Prior to the data obtained for the year 1930 bushels were

converted to pounds of meats on the basis of a uniform yield of 7 pounds of meats to the bushel. How-

ever, it was found that there was considerable variation in the yield of oysters per bushel particularly

in southern states where the yield has ranged as low as half the conversion factor used prior to 1930.

There follows a table which gives the measures used for oysters in the various States and the averase

yields per bushel. The statistical tables in this report are based on these average yields.

SECTION 16 - PICTORIAL SECTION

As many of the readers of this publication may not be familiar with all of the species of fish

and shellfish, etc., taken commercially in the United States and Alaska, illustrations of many of thp

various species are included in the following pages. The descriptive material appearing with each

species includes the areas in which commercial landings are made in the United States and does not

constitute the extreme limits in which they occur. Similarly, the gear listed for each species do not

represent the only types of apparatus by which these species are obtained, but represent those types

which are normally used in their capture. The gear do not necessarily appear in the order of their

importance.
