The United States and Canadian commercial catch of fishery products in the Great Lakes, Lake St. Clair, and the International Lakes of northern Minnesota amounted to 110 million pounds--about 755 thousand pounds more than in 1959. United States fishermen caught 68 million ponds--2.4 million pounds more than 1959. Canadian landings (42 million pounds) were nearly 2 million pounds less. More than 46 percent of the United States-Canadian catch from these Lakes was taken in Lake Erie, while 22 percent and 15 percent came from Lakes Michigan and Superior respectively. Yellow perch, 23 million pounds, was the principal item taken, followed by chubs with 18 million pounds.
