Lines, catching all the halibut and cod and quantities of salmon, 
were, according to value of products, the most important form of 
apparatus, yielding 25,798,895 pounds, valued at $2,433,832. Purse 
seines follow in importance, yielding 34,907,693 pounds, valued at 
$1,620,043, consisting almost entirely of salmon. 
The whale fishery, having its center of operations at Grays Harbor, 
yielded 438,750 pounds of products, valued at $20,540. Haul 
seines, drift gill nets, drag bag nets, beam trawls, and crab traps, 
which constitute the remainder of the vessel apparatus, yielded 
936,349 pounds, valued at $44,839.

1 The line fishery was prosecuted by vessels sailing from Puget Sound ports, and virtually all of the 
catch was taken in ocean waters. This includes 9,085,700 pounds of halibut, valued at $922,701, and 55,000 
pounds of sablefish, valued at $2,360, taken by Washington vessels and landed in Canada. In addition 
to this, Washington vessels caught 2,680,687 pounds of halibut, valued at $187,698; 155,263 pounds of sable- 
fish, valued at $6,389; and 1,167 pounds of rock fishes, valued at $32, which were landed in Alaska.
