Fisheries; Fishery processing industriesAbstract
The New England fishing industry is examined in terms of the
capacity of the fishing fleet, of the processing plants, and of the
transportation system. Limitations on the capacity of the industry, and
its capability and flexibility, are explored in terms of social, economic
and technical aspects. The study is based on interviews with fishermen,
buyers, processors and distributors, and on data made available by the
National Marine Fisheries Service. Although the fisheries is in a state
of expansion and both vessels and plants have a greater capacity than is
now being used, the major problems that may restrict expansion in both
fishing and processing are quality control, species selection and market
development.
