Records from the National Marine Fisheries Service show that Maine groundfish prices were higher than those of Massachusetts in 2005. 

Each year the Service tallies groundfish landed volumes and values in each state.  In 2005, Maine fishermen received a slight premium - about 2% - over what they would have received if they had landed in Massachusetts ports.
