from the smaller villages adjacent to it. It is well to note that in all Zones, 

 every little village has a few craft available for harpooning when the fish 

 are in the vicinity. The fish are consumed locally and since no government 

 inspectors are available it is impossible to estimate the catch accurately. 

 For this reason no catch figure is included for this area in the totals in the 

 table. Zone II ranks second in swordfish production. Its coast line is about 

 250 miles long. 



Zone III — Coquimbo. The States of Atacama and Coquimbo comprise 

 this Zone. It is the longest of the three, being about 400 miles in extent.
