STATISTICS OF THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES. 



Fishing i.s carried on in 17 counties of the State. Essex County has 

 no fishing, but there is considerable wholesale trade in fishery products 

 at Newark. Of these counties Bergen, Hudson, Union, Middlesex, 

 and part of Monmouth are on the Hudson River, Staten Island Sound, 

 and New York Ba^-; Ocean, Atlantic, and portions of Monmouth, 

 Burlington, and Cape Ma}^ are on the ocean side, while Sussex, War- 

 ren, Hunterdon, Mercer, Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, 

 and parts of Burlington and Cape May are on the Delaware River 

 and Bay, 



Monmouth County leads in the quantity of products, while the large 

 oyster industry of Cumberland places that county ahead so far as total 

 value of catch is concerned. Ocean County also surpasses Cumberland 

 County in quantity, but is far behind both Cumberland and Monmouth 

 in the value of the catch. A feature of the fisheries of Salem County 

 is the immense preponderance of the shad fisherv. 



The three following tables show the extent of the fisheries by 

 counties.
