STATISTICS OF CANADIAN FISHERIES FoR 1863
In the report of the Secretary OF State for the year
ending September 80. 1871, upon the commercial re-
lations between the United States and foreign ma
TONS we find some facts relative to the fisheries of
different parts of the world principally Of Canada,
which may be interesting furnishing the means
of comparison with those of our own country.
The British Colonial fisheries consist of those of
the Dominion of Canada and Of Newfoundland and
Prince Edward Island. The total yield for 1863,
based partially upon estimates for the Province of
Quebec including most of those on the north and
south shores of the river and Gulf of ST. Lawrence,
was valued at 81 O46 40 while the estimate for the
inland fisheries west of Quebec was about 100000,
and those of the Magdalen Islands consisting mostly
of herrings amounted to 7l 1856. The largest items
in the preceding estimate were for Summer Goldfish
ing SSCqCl5: Autumn cOd-fshing YSlOO7O7; herring
harIesl $780, 2S salmon SOB $50; slTdines. S536S2;
cod oil S5l 500; whale oil, S43,04s.
The total value of the fisheries of the Province OF
Ontario was S32j,452. That of the boats nets, etc,
employed in these fisheries Sl36,2G0 the mum
Der Of yards of gll-net 6l4070; of men engaged, Lea
New-Brunswick returned an estimated value of
S6S8.57G. The number OF men employed was 1891,
with IS vessels $50 boats, and 100 canoes.
Nova Scotia returned a value of S2,50l,j O7, en-
poyiug 1857 men, G3j vessels, 1858 whale-boats,
3 7e3 skis and $40 sailboats with 1866 total ton
mage
For Newfoundland the total value was $1005,s07.
For Prince Edward Island Sl69,5S0. The principal
item in the Newfoundland fishery related to Goldfish,
and that of Prince Edward Island to mackerel.
1t will be seen from the foregoing statistics that
the fisheries of Newfoundland and Prince Edward
Island exceed in value by more than 2,0O0,000 those
of the Dominion of Canada. and that the larger
portion Of the Canadian" fishery products are iur-
nished by Nova Scotia.
The total annual products OF theIfsheries off the
coast of the British North American Provinces as
shown by the statements embodied in tins report,
amount to nearly s23,OOO0OO as follows:
