Abstract

The aim of this report is to compile in a compact form for ready reference numerous data pertinent to the blue crab fisheries of Virginia and Maryland. The need for such a compilation became evident when an attempt was made to evaluate the usefulness of those data as indices of past abundance, and it was realized that many publications had to be referred to in order to cover the field even partially.
