Distribution and Value of Herring
HERRING — The herring is a very important food fish found in the North Atlantic as far south as Sandy Hook; it is never found in brackish or fresh waters. Herring weigh from one-half to one pound and average in length about 10 inches. As a food fish they are used fresh, salted, pickled, smoked and canned. They are also used extensively for bait in the cod, haddock, halibut and hake fisheries. A large number of vessels engage in the winter herring fishery off the west coast of Newfoundland. The greater part of the catch is taken with pound nets, trap nets and weirs.
