This description of the small-scale sector of the Southern New England
(Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut) fishery includes information on
the fishermen (their ages, education, experience, occupational training, family
involvement and reasons for fishing) and the physical characteristics of the
fleet (the boats and gear). Fishing patterns are analyzed by species, geographical areas and seasons. The economic structure of small-scale fishing is
described in terms of investment, net and gross earnings, fuel costs, crew
payments systems and marketing arrangements. Management implications of this
information and analyses are included.
