Tuna Fish Scarce in Maine This Year
Maine Sea and Shore Fisheries Commissioner Arthur Greenleaf reports a tuna shortage limited Maine to a poor year for both sport and commercial fishing. Despite many boats and strong harpoon activity, tuna disappeared after early sightings, with herring absence blamed. Next season may bring more activity and possible cannery development. The Maine Tuna Club plans to push a law banning some tuna take in Maine waters. Bears and moose were also observed in coastal and inland areas amid a busy wildlife season.
