Food from the sea: fish and shellfish of New England.

"In New England, the specific job is to spread consumption more uniformly over the nearly 80 species of fish and shellfish that are brought, into local ports each year. Production records 'of the fishing industry show a serious lack of balance-c-overexploitation of a few species on one hand, wasteful underexploitation of many species on the other. Although 600,000,000 pounds of seafood are caught by New England fishermen each year, 85 percent of this poundage consists of only 10 species, while the remaining 70 species are landed in quantities so limited that they make up only 15 percent of the total catch."
