Shore and boat fisheries —The statistics on the shore fisheries 
include the catch by all fishing craft of less than 5 net tons, as meas- 
ured by the United States Customs Service, as well as all fish caught 
without the use of boats. In 1924 there were 2,036 motor boats and 
261 rowboats employed in the fisheries of Washington. The yield of 
the shore and boat fisheries amounted to 54,595,479 pounds, valued 
at $4,235,130, which was considerably greater than the yield of the 
vessel fisheries. 
The catch by pound nets ranked first in importance, both as to 
amount and value, with the yield of lines being almost identical. In 
1924 pound nets yielded 20,113,737 pounds, valued at $1,527,382, 
and lines, 20,111,519 pounds, valued at $1,400,343.
