• Description:
  Since 1960 the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) has collected and processed Atlantic herring commercial catch samples. Sampling was historically car:rjed out with the cooperation of private companies (canneries) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This system of sampling the commercial catch resulted in incomplete coverage of the fishery and insufficient collection of population data. In an effort to improve the commercial catch sampling program, DMR wrote a grant proposal to the Atlantic States Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program in 2000 and was awarded funding to hire a dedicated sampler. The program proved to be extremely successful and was funded again in 2001. The position funded by this grant began on May 15 \ 2002 and continued through April 30th, 2003.
