Maine’s Sardine Trade Peaks and Coast Fishing Role
Maine’s sardine industry, a major coast fisheries driver, peaked in 1909 with 90,695,000 pounds of herring packed. Since 1932 the pack dipped to 500,000 cases, then rose to 2,000,000 cases by 1936, with 1937 unknown but expected lower. Imports from Norway and Portugal grew 40,000,000 pounds 1923–1936, showing continued strong demand. About 8,000 Maine workers rely on sardine factories, boats, weirs, and can plants. Salt and smoked fish form another vital sector, with six freezing plants processing mackerel and other fish for winter storage, enabling year-round market availability of fresh salmon and halibut. The system’s volume hinges on annual fish runs and prices, with alewives occasionally salted for different use. (Continued on Page Six)
