Excerpt from The Fish-Scrap Fertilizer Industry of the Atlantic Coast
For the farmers living near the shore it became a part of the year's routine to prepare fish scrap and, incidentally, oil for the year's supply. As the spring was regarded as the best time for the application of this fertilizer, a few weeks of the spring were devoted to fishing and rendering. The apparatus necessary, seines and pots, often were owned and operated in common.
