C. COMMERCIAL FISHERIES By WILLIAM A. ELLISON, Engineering and Marketing Econo mist of the State Department of Conservation and Development In this and succeeding installments, we give our readers a report on the fishing industry of North Carolina which should be carefully read and studied by every fisherman, and all other persons who realize the importance of the fishing industry in this state. The attention of the state was first focused on the economic phase of its fisheries in 1945-46 when Dr. Harden F. Taylor assum ed the responsibility of directing a survey of the marine fisheries of North Carolina under the auspices of the University of North Caro lina. Dr. Taylor and his associates studied the fisheries for several years. While the picture has changed somewhat since the con clusion of Dr. Taylor’s investiga tion and the publication of his findings, the basic conclusion drawn by him are as sound today as they were when written. No full understanding of the econom ic complexities and aggravations of the North Carolina fisheries is pos sible without an acquaintanceship with the facts given and the con clusions drawn in the economic section found in his volume: Sur vey of the Marine Fisheries of North Carolina* 1. This section is of unique and lasting value and must serve as the beginning point for any economic and industrial studies on the North Carolina fish eries. In a lengthy report to the Board of Conservation and Development, Eric W. Rodgers in July 1951 re viewed the fisheries of North Car olina and proposed, among other things, as a function of the De partment, the promulgation o processing and manufacturing of packaged seafood. No substantial progress was made in this direc tion until 1953, when, at the re quest of the Department, the leg islature appropriated $32,500.00 for economic studies to be under taken by the University of North Carolina. After some awkwardness and delay in the beginning, these studies were initiated and were fully underway in the early months of 1954. Mr. George Woodward of the School of Business Adminis tration of the University was as signed the task of making the survey, which is now in process. We have seen no report, except one issued on oysters, but discusr sions with Mr. Woodward and news reports of speeches made by him indicate the high order of his methods and the development of basic economic facts which prom ise to be valuable to the fisher ies**. The present investigation was designed to complement the stud ies made during the survey of ma rine fisheries by Dr. Taylor and those made by Mr. Woodward. These studies were begun on July 1, 1955, and have continued unin terrupted with the exception of about three weeks during hurri canes Connie, Diane and lone. Con currently with the investigation, engineering aid and advice have been given to five dealers who were building new plants, expand ing or renovating old ones, or planning new construction and an expansion of business. Primary attention has been giv en to source, distribution and amount of raw material; existing methods of manufacture; suitabil ity of fish house for expansion; equipment in fish houses retail trade practices governing both packaged seafoods and round fresh fish; methods of processing in oth er states; suitability of native raw material for manufacture; abund ance and potential abundance of raw material; manufacturing and equipment costs. *l. Survey of Marine Fisheries of North Carolina was published by the University of North Caro lina Press: 1951. ** It is not implied that there is complete agreement with Mr. Woodward’s implications concern ing oysters. , PROCESSING Contrary to the usual impres sion, there is considerable process ing done in this state. All herring (alewives) and mullets are proc essed in some manner. Shrimp pass through the first step in man ufacture and crabs, oysters and clams are prepared for consump tion. There is, however, considera ble opportunity for expansion of manufacture of shrimp, crabs, and oysters*. There are limited possi bilities for fin fish, but their sea sonal appearance, the small vol ume landed of any one species at any port and the high-ex-vessel price greatly circumscribe opera tions in this field. The extent of manufacture now done, the meth ods employed and the natural po tential Will be discussed under ap propriate headings later. It suffi ces to say now that any substan tial processing in this state de pends upon shrimp, crabs, and oysters. Any accomplishments in this direction must first depend upon a merchandizing and distri bution system. In those states bordering the south Atlantic Ocean an<t the Chesapeake Bay, which have ma rine resources similar to those found in North Carolina manufac ture of fisheries product is limit- THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C. A WELL INFORMED MAN REPORTS ON FISHING BeSs I ni| IJB WILLIAM A. ELLISON JR., a resident of Belhaven, has spent several years in work and study of commercial fishing in this state. He is concerned with the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment in the capacity of Engi neering and Marketing Economist. His recent report on the food fish industry of North Carolina is an important one, and is being re printed in our columns for the val uable information it contains. The first installment appears this week. ed to a great degree to shell fish, crabs, shrimp, and oysters. These animals are processed as such or used to produce cakes, patties, soups, bisques and pastes. A rough breakdown by the manufactured products of the six states of the Chesapeake and South Atlantic for 1952 discloses that oysters, shrimp, and crabs listed as such account ed for approximately 83% of the dollar value of processed goods. Oysters as such led with slightly over 52% of the total value, fol lowed in order by shrimp (over 18%) and crabs (over 16%). Proc essed fin fish made no significant contribution to the total value of $52,425,000.' A large proportion of the remaining dollar value came from products made from these shellfish such as canned goods cakes, soups and bisques. These data are tabulated in Table 111. * Because of the erratic scallop production and the small amount of clams produced, these animals offer small oportunity for manu facture beyond the present stage.
