Abstract:

Herring fishing is a big business along the Chowan and Roanoke Rivers, resulting in the catch of many millions of herring every year and giving employment to thousands of men and women. The fish are trapped using huge nets cast in large areas, and in the Colerain factories they make use of every part of the fish after it is caught.
