Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Small Business Administration Programs to Assist the New England Fishing Industry: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Government Programs of the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, Gloucester, Ma, April 10, 1995
Current] we harvest about 60 percent of the available resource of cod, had'dock, and yellow-tailed ?ounder each year. To stop fur ther declines in these important stocks, this harvest rate would need to be reduced by half. To enable the resource to recover, the harvest rate would need to be reduced even further to possibly one third of its current level, and this means a drastic reduction in fishing on these three species which have been a mainstay of the industry.
