FISHERIES OF THE PACIFIC COAST STATES, 1924 
The plan adopted for obtaining annual statistics on the fisheries of 
the Pacific Coast States in 1923 was used again in the canvass of these 
States for 1924. The statistics given herein are the available State 
statistics, supplemented and made uniform in character and scope by 
canvassing the industry for the necessary additional information.‘ 
The Pacific Coast States, with their valuable salmon, halibut, 
tuna, and sardine fisheries, constitute one of our most important 
fishery sections. In 1924 there were 15,359 persons, 560 vessels 


4 The State of Washington requires reports from fishermen and fish dealers on the quantity of each species 
caught within the territorial] limits of the State. Oregon requires periodical reports from fish dealers on 
the quantities of certain species (salmon, shad, sturgeon, clams, and crabs). Values of these were calcu- 
lated from estimates of average prices secured from fish dealers. Quantities and values of the remaining 
species and all fish caught in the high seas and Indian reservations were secured by canvassing. Statistics 
on persons, vessels, boats, and gear were obtained from the State license lists and supplemented by canvass, 
as in the case of quantities and values. 
The State of California requires a carbon ccpy of the receipt for all fish landed in California by fishing 
vessels and boats, regardless of source. Fish caught in waters off the Mexican coast are designated sepa- 
tately. The statistics on quantities, by species, were taken from the State tabulations, and values were 
secured by calculating from price estimates of representative wholesalers. Statistics of the Alaska cod 
caught by California vessels, and of the California whaling operations, were secured direct from the com- 
panies concerned. Statistics on persons, boats, and gear were taken from the State’s registration lists. 
In Washington and Oregon the Statistics were credited to the district in which the fishing was done, 
except the ocean fisheries, which were credited to the district in which the fish were landed. - In California 
the statistics on the catch were credited to the district where landed, and the men, vessels, boats, gear, 
etc., to the home port of the fishermen.
