Shore fishery industries. — Among - the most important industries directly connected 

 with the fisheries are sardine canning, the manufacture of menhaden oil and guano, 

 salmon canning, oyster packing and canning, and the canning of various other fishery 

 products, as mackerel, clams, turtles, and shrimp. These give employment to over 

 30,000 people; represent an investment of over $14,000,000; utilize 530,000,000 pounds 

 of raw materials, for which $10,458,000 is paid ; and produce manufactured articles 

 having a value of $20,548,000. The canning of sardines and the canning of mackerel 

 and clams are usually done by the same firms, so that it is not feasible to present 

 separate figures for each of these branches. Lobsters are also canned principally at 

 sardine factories, but owing to the importance of this industry, an effort has been made 

 to represent it separately as regards the employes and investment. The packing and 

 canning of oysters constitute the most important of the industries exhibited in the 

 table, after which come salmon canning, sardine canning, and the manufacture of oil 

 and fertilizer from menhaden.
