The Bunker Fish Industry

Excerpts from: LONG ISLAND SUNRISE TRAIL by Michael Bartley

By the 1850's the whale population was diminishing due to over killing of the whales and caused a demand for an alternative fuel. The discovery of Menhaden (Fish Bunker) as a replacement of
whale oil sparked a boom in the Menhaden fishing and processing on Long Island. There were more than 25 factories around Peconic Bay alone.
