Distribution and Value of Whitefish
WHITEFISH— Whitefish are among the most important fresh-water fishes of America. The common whitefish is the most valuable species of all, although the others are highly esteemed as food. It is found in the Great Lakes region and is known as "humpbacked", "bowbacked" and "highback" whitefish; it is also known as "Otsego bass" in the neighborhood of Otsego Lake, N. Y.
The whitefish catch is confined to the Great Lakes, Lake of the Woods, and Rainy Lake. In value it ranks fourth among the fishery products in those waters. Every state bordering on the Great Lakes share in the catch of whitefish, Michigan contributing the most. Nearly all the whitefish product is marketed fresh. Gill nets, pound and trap nets take nearly all the catch.
