 another State or country; therefore they can not be correlated directly with the catch within the State. 

 Of the total number of persons employed on transporting craft, 26 have also been included as fishermen, 

 and among the total persons engaged in the preparation of fishermen's manufacturad products, 57 have been 

 included as fishermen. These facts should be considered when computing the total number of persons in 

 the fishery industries exclusive of duplication.
