Abstract
A creel census conducted during 1973–1975 determined fishing effort, catch, and value of the recreational fishery at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station’s Shorefront. An estimated 21,120 angler visits were made and 9,332 fishes caught for a mean catch rate of 0.22 fish per angling hour. Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) 37%, bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) 32%, and pollock (Pollachius virens) 13% accounted for 82% of the total catch. Economic value of this fishery was estimated at $39,000 annually during the study period.
