Statistics 



Two of the 36 field offices of the Branch of Statistics are in Region 1, at Seattle, Wash, and Astoria, 

 Oreg. They are responsible for assembling data for Washington and Oregon on the number of fishermen, 

 fishing craft, and quantity of gear engaged in taking fish and shellfish in these States,- the volume and value 

 of the catch; the production of manufactured fishery commodities,- and related information. The data are 

 compiled from the records of the State fishery departments or by surveys of fishermen, fishery wholesale 

 dealers, and manufacturers. Statistical information on the fisheries is released in monthly and annual 

 bulletins in the Current Fishery Statistics series and in the Bureau's annual Digest, "Fishery Statistics of the 

 United States."
