REVIEW OF THE FISHERIES OF 1926 The production of fish and fish products during the year under review was considerably greater than during 1925, while the marketed value was greater by some $8,418,502, the value being $56,360,633. The latter value has only been exceeded twice in the history of the industry, and then during the war years when prices were much higher than at present. The following table shows the marketed value by provinces, as compared with the years 1925 and 1924:— — 1926 1925 1924 8 s 8 Nova Scotia 12,505,922 10,213,687 8,777,251 New Brunswick 5,325,478 4,798,589 5,383,286 Prince Edward Island 1,358,934 1,598,119 1,201,772 Quebec 3,110,964 3,044,919 2,283,314 Ontario 3,152,193 3,436,412 3,557,587 Manitoba 2,328,803 1,466,939 1,232,563 Saskatchewan 444,288 479,645 482,492 Alberta 749,026 458,504 339,107 British Columbia 27,367,109 22,414,618 21,257,567 Yukon Territory 17,866 15,370 18,773 56,360,633 47,926,802 44,534,235 5 6 MARINE AND FISHERIES The province of Nova Scotia shows an increase in value of over two and a quarter million dollars. The fisheries of this province expanded remarkably during the year, due to increased demands, both in Canada and abroad, especially in the fresh fish industry. During the summer months there was an increase in the catch of over 50,000,000 pounds. Fifteen new vessels virere built for the industry during the year. There were increases in the catch of haddock, pollock, herring, sardines, alewives, smelts and tom cod in the province of New Brunswick, which accounts for the increase in value. - The province of Prince Edward Island recorded a decrease in the value of the fisheries. This was due to lower catches of cod, smelts and lobsters, three of the chief fisheries of the province. In the province of Quebec the value and production was about the same as in the previous year. Smaller catches of cod and mackerel veere offset by slightly higher catches of herring, salmon and lobsters. The province of Ontario shows a drop in the value with decreases in the production of whitefish, pickerel and pike. There was a splendid increase in production in the province of Manitoba, practically all kinds of fish being taken in larger quantities. Saskatchewan reports a slight decrease, while in Alberta the production and value were higher. In the Pacific Division, which comprises the province of British Columbia, there was an increase in the production of salmon, which mainly accounts for an increase of nearly five million dollars in the value of the fisheries of that division. ATLANTIC cOAsT Cod, Haddock, Hake and Pollock.—The•catch of these kinds was 3,425,544 cwts. This is an increase over the catch of 1925 of 553,213 cwts. Each kind shows an increase in the province of Nova Scotia, with cod showing an increase of over 450,000 cwts. The catches of haddock and pollock were greater in New Brunswick, while there were decreases recorded in the other two varieties. Prince Edward Island and Quebec showed decreases in the catch of both cod and hake. Of the total catch there were 439,281 cw-ts. used fresh (including fresh fillets). This is an increase of 127,923 ces, over the quantity s,old in the same manner in the previous year. There were 151,357 cwts. of smoked (includ- ing smoked fillets) prepared, as compared with 103,116 cwts. in 1925. The Lunenburg banking fleet landed some 372,000 qts. of cod. The fleet during 1926 comprised 92 vessels, which was 12 more than in 1925. The price received for their product was considerably less than for the 1925 catch. Eleven steam trawlers operated out of Nova Scotia.n ports during the year. Mackerel, Herring and Sardines.—There were 1,531,399 cwts. of these fish landed, compared with 1,428,155 cwts. during 1925, or an increase of 103,244 cwts. The catch of herring in Nova Scotia was some 58,000 cwts. greater than the year before. The catch was about the same in Prince Edward Island, while in New Brunswick and Quebec there were increases of 50,000 cwts. and 39,000 cwts. respectively. The quantity of herring smoked was 133,163 cwts., which was an increase of 43,219 cwts. The catch of mackerel was only 115,487 cwts., compared with 187,661 in 1925. Owing to the condition of the American market, which was practically glutted with these fish, the demand for mackerel was small and, therefore, the fishery was prosecuted only in an indifferent manner. There were 173,166 barrels of sardines taken, compared with 158,533 barrels during the previous year. These fish were very plentiful but the demand, which FISHERIES BRANCH 7 comes mainly from the American canneries, was very limited. Consequently not nearly as many were taken as might have been. The pack of these fish locally was the largest in the history of the industry. Other Sea Fish.-The catch of halibut was 24,823 cwts. which is an increase of 3,000 cwts. over the previous year. There were 12,935 cwts. of swordfish taken, which is nearly three times the quantity taken in 1925. The catch of tom cod was 20,239 cwts. and of flounders 15,798 cwts., both an increase over the previous year. Shellfish.-There were 339,583 cwts. of lobsters taken, which is a slight decrease of 1,255 cwt.s. The catch and its disposal by provinces, as compared with the same period for the year 1925, was as follows:- - Catch Marketed Canned Shell 1926 Cwts. Cwts. Cases Nova Scotia 184,316 71,443 56,277 New Brunsw ick 59,611 15,861 24,041 Prince Edwa rd Island 66,298 3,153 29,442 Quebec 29,358 847 13,759 1925 ,...

The quantity of clams and quahaugs dug was 41,417 barrels, which was an increase of 12,958 barrels. Scallops also show an increase, there being some 23,200 barrels taken compared with 17,718 barrels. River Spawning Fish.-There were 52,795 cwts. of salmon taken, which is a slight drop from - the previous -year. Some 90,481 cwts. of smelts were taken, compared with 75,457 cwts. in 1925. Of the total catch for 1926 New Brunswick contributed 59,400 cwts., which was an increase of nearly 13,000 cwts. The catch of alewives again shows a big increase, some 71,479 cw-ts. being landed while in 1925 there were only 56,781 cwts. The quantity landed in Nova Scotia was less, while in New Brunswick there was a large increase. About half of the catch was salted. INLAND FISHERIES There was an increase in the catch of whitefish of 3,964 cwts., some 190,- 644 cwts.

INTRODUCTION In recent years, causeway dams have been constructed across the lower reaches of numerous Maritime streams. These causeways are utilized for transportation routes, protect agricultural lands from tidal flood water and provide fresh water for recreation, domestic and industrial use. Unfor­ tunately, many of these causeway dams are formidable barriers to the migration of anadromous fish species. In 1966 and 1967, the construction of causeways on Middle River and West River, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, initiated a biological assessment to determine the effects of such physical barriers on the fish stocks of the rivers.

All tlie abstracts being completed, and placed in the hands of the printer, in compliance with the request of the Honorable the Chairman of your Board, I have the honor to present my report of the Census of Nova Scotia for 1861.- Before entering upon the results, I trust it will not be considered out of place to make a few observations, in reference to the machinery by which the information detailed in the various abstracts, has been collected and condensed. After carefully examining the forms used in Great Britain and Canada, it was decided to adopt so much of both, as was applicable to this Province ; and after such further additions as were necessary, a form of schedule was prepared, called the " Householder's Schedule," one of which, in conformity with the English practice, and partially that of Canada, was delivered by the Enumerators to each family, before the day fixed for taking the Census, viz.: the 30th March. In Canada the Census is taken by Townships ; but in many parts of this Province, there being no regularly defined Townships, the only practical mode was to take it by Polling Districts ; and while upon this part of the subject, I would respectfully suggest the propriety, before another Census is taken, of having every County laid off into Townships, or Census Districts, with boundaries properly denned and established.

The communtiy-based project of provided seniors an opportunity to preserve the oral history of western Annapolis County and Queens County. The goal was to reach out to seniors and involve them in interviews relevant to their past livelihood in terms of their skills, knowledge and experience on topics such as past land use, lifestyles, forestry practices, farming, wildlife, and concerns for the future. Through sharing their memories and anecdotes, local seniors provided a comprehensive overview of the past lifestyles, communities and biospheres of these counties. This historical knowledge and information is important to record as it is in danger of being lost as our population ages and it will help in understanding changes in land use, and vegetation and animal populations in southwestern Nova Scotia. The project also addressed concerns regarding the isolation of seniors by encouraging their social participation and inclusion. The participants felt respected and valued as their knowledge, observations and opinions were sought. The information that seniors shared gave valuable insights that MTRI and others with interests in the biosphere and history of the area can use in future research and initiatives.
