Production and yield of the Placentia-St. Mary's herring stock / by J.A. Moores and G.H. Winters.: Fs70-8/77-30E-PDF
"The St. Mary's-Placentia Bay area has traditionally been an active herring fishing region yielding an average of 14,000 m tons during the period 1945-50 when the post World War II demand for pickled herring was high. Landings dropped considerably in the 1950's due to low demand for food herring and remained at a low level until the mid 1960's when a reduction plant was built at Riverhead, St. Mary's Bay (Pinhorn 1976). Landings increased throughout the 1960's, peaking in 1968 with landings of 7100 m tons. The bulk of this catch (6200 m tons) was taken by purse-seiners mainly in St. Mary's Bay"--Introduction.
