Maritime Resource Management Service. Nova Scotia Fisheries Atlas. May 1982. 44 pp.

The Nova Scotia Fisheries Atlas was prepared in May 1982 for the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries. The atlas is divided into five sections: landings and major species, fishing fleet, employment, onshore facilities and infrastructure and fish product exports. In the first section there is information on the total value of the landings in the forty-four fisheries districts for both onshore and offshore areas. This section also contains a map of significant species, which are species with greater or equal than 15% of the total landed value and tonnage in the districts. Also included are maps for groundfish and pelagic, and lobster and scallop landed values. The second section contains nearshore and offshore vessel data, reported by gross tonnage, and information on harbors. The employment section contains data on the percent of income derived from fishing by registered fishermen and information on the annual operation of plants. The fourth section focuses on associated industries and infrastructure, as well as processing plant facilities. The last section contains a map depicting Nova Scotia's international exports of fish products.
