WASHINGTON 
In 1924 the fisheries of Washington employed 6,190 persons, 217 
vessels, 2,036 motor boats, and 261 rowboats. The production of 
the fisheries amounted to 89,223,907 pounds, valued at $7,123,457. 
Of this value, 90.7 per cent consisted of fish, 7.7 per cent of shellfish, 
and 1.6 per cent of whale products. 
The various species of salmon were the most important of Wash- 
ington’s fishes, yielding 58,625,990 pounds, valued at $3,953,098. 
Chinook salmon ranked highest in value, yielding 24,697,911 pounds, 
valued at $2,086,769. Next, in both quantity and value, was silver 
salmon, with a yield of 16,158,108 pounds, valued at $930,501. 
Of second importance was the halibut, the total credited to this 
State, being 15,329,569 pounds, valued at $2,040,881. In addition 
to this, the vessels of Washington landed 3,798,508 pounds, valued 
at $363,881, at ports in Alaska. 
Of third importance among the fishes was the cod. The cod 
fishery, for the most part, is carried on by a few large vessels sailing 
from ports in the State of Washington to the cod banks in Alaskan 
waters, where the fishing is done during the summer months, and 
bringing back their cargoes of salted cod at the end of the season. 
In 1924, 3,700,791 pounds of salt cod, valued at $176,815, were
