The top priority of New England colonists was Fishing.
The American colonies generally focused on harnessing the resources that their environment had. New England was next to rivers and the ocean so they generally focused on water based activities.
This was why they had interests in activities such as:
fishing
whaling
shipbuilding
They also had non-water based activities such as cattle rearing and logging. All these paled in comparison to the interest placed on fishing however as this was their largest economic activity.
In conclusion, fishing was the major economic activity of the New England colonies.
