B. REVIEW OF THE SALT-WATER FISHERIES. 



150. STATISTICAL RECAPITULATION. 



The sea fisheries of Maryland, if we exclude the oyster industry, are quite unimportant. There 

 are no harbors of any size along the outer shore, and the shores bordering Chesapeake Bay are too 

 far removed from the ocean to warrant any exclusive fishing for marine species. This fishery is 

 therefore confined largely to small boats for use in the sounds and bays at different seasons. The 

 following table shows the extent of the sea fisheries, excluding menhaden and oysters, for 1880:
