1 These figures represent the value of the manufactured product. 
It is estimated that the value of the 
catch to the fishermen was approximately $14,500,000. The round weight of the salmon catch landed 
by the fishermen was approximately 550,900,495 pounds, and the corresponding figures for herring were 
approximately 144,448,524 pounds. 
The cod figures given above do not include the offshore catch from 
waters adjacent to Alaska, which amounted to 7,697,085 pounds of dry-salted cod and 14,000 pounds of 
tongues, having a total value of $409,490, landed at ports of the Pacific Coast States.
