8 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIE'..l Vol. 11, No o 10 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC iREGIONS PART 11- OBSERVATIONS ON THE BIOLOGY AND THE METHODS OF COLLECTING AND PROCESSING THE MUSSEL By Leslie W. Scattergood ~'" and Clyde C. Taylor -~H;~ ' INTRODUCTION This is the second of three papers concerning the World War II efforts to develop a mussel fishery in the North Atlantic region. The first article dealt with the survey to discover whether supplies o! mussels were great enough to sup port a large fishery. The present paper is concerned with biolcgical and techno logical observations made during the mussel survey. SIZES OF MUSSELS Table 3 reveals some interesting characteristics of the size distribution of the mussels on the beds. An examination of the table shows that there are many localities in which there is no well defined and distinct mode indicative of the young from the summer's set. Only Pleasant River, Narraguagus ~ , . ' :' Ri ver, Winter Harbor, and Dux ~. bury Bay have such modes. The absence of distinct year-size groups is even more a pparent in the areas below low tide at Ingall's Island, Jim's Island, Moon Ledge, Skillings River, Sheep Island, Mackerel Cove, Maddaket Harbor, and off Brew ster. In ttese eight local 6 ities, between 92.7 and 100 percent of the mussels were SOME OF THE MUSSEL'S ENEMIES: over two inches in length. I .

Januar 1950 THE MUSSEL RESOURCES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC REGION ~RT J --THE SURVEY TO DISCOVER THE LOCATIONS AND AREAS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC MUSSEL-PRODUCING BEDS By Leslie W. Scattergood~~ and Clyde C, Taylor ~d~ '!his is the first of three papers discussing the World War II pro motion of the North Atlantic mussel fishery. The present article is primarily concerned "'i th the quantitative resul ts of a survey of the productivi~ of mussel areas. INTRODUCTION During the recent war, the fishing industry had tte problem of increasing its production despite relative shortages of manpower, equipment, and materials o One of the ways of efficiently augmenting the catch of fish and shellfish was to uti lize species ordinarily disregarded. One of the probable sources of sea food was the edible mussel (yGtilus edulis), which is so common along , the North Atlantic Coast of the United States. This species cap be harvested dur ing that time of the year when the small-boat fishery is least active. In the late winter and the spring months, the mussels a,re in good con dition for marketing, as it is then that they reach their fattest condition, and in this period other fishing activities are at a low level. The mussel, although relatively unknown to the American public p has attained great popularity in Europe. Large quantities have been consumed in European coun tries for hundreds of yearso The annual English, Welsh, and Scotch production of this shellfish, as re corded in the statistical reports of the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fish eries" ave,raged about 19 million pounds ("in the shell" weight) for the lS-year period between 1924 and 1938.
