WASHINGTON 
In 1925 the fisheries of Washington employed 7,393 fishermen, 303 
fishing vessels, 1,945 motor boats, 330 rowboats, and yielded 
130,685,560 pounds of fishery products, valued at $9,476,449. 
The five species of salmon were the most important of Washington’s 
commercial fishes, yielding 95,964,331 pounds, valued at $6,170,768. 
Chinook salmon ranked highest in value, yielding 23,756,404 pounds, 
valued at $2,291,041. Next was sockeye salmon, yielding 10,211,758 
pounds, valued at $1,296,596. Third in value but first in amount was 
humpback salmon, yielding 35,308,770 pounds, valued at $1,290,550.
