Abstract:
The penetrating odor surrounding the dockside plants and warehouses at Beaufort, North Carolina is a combination of menhaden and money. Harvesting and processing of menhaden is a large-scale enterprise and accounts for 60% of the annual commercial catch in the U.S. Along the North Carolina coast, menhaden industries represent a total investment of more than $80 million and an annual gross product over $8 million with over 1200 engaged in the business during peak fishing season.
