Abstract:
For decades, menhaden was North Carolina’s number one commercial fishery by volume. Concerns about overfishing led to changes in harvest allocations and a menhaden reduction fishery. Researchers are investigating the socioeconomic impact of the Atlantic menhaden fishery on East Coast states, and how policy changes might affect the industry.

Abstract:
For most of the 20th-century the highest fishing catches in North Carolina were menhaden. Now only two menhaden plants remain on the Atlantic Coast, one at Beaufort, the other at Reedville, VA. A proposal by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission would restrict menhaden fishing to one mile from the shore. Jule Wheatly, owner of the Beaufort plant, said such a restriction would force him to close his plant since 75 percent of the fish he processes is caught within a mile of shore.

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.

Abstract:
Known by many nicknames, each year the ugly cousin of the herring--menhaden--swim along the Atlantic Coast from southern New England to Florida. These hordes of tiny fish form the basis of a multi-million dollar business, landing more than 2.2 billion pounds, or 43 percent of the total catch of all fish and shellfish in the nation. Forty-five hundred fishermen make $25.8 million and thirty-seven manufacturers gross $43 million in processing.
