Shore and boat fisheries.—The statistics of the shore fisheries include 
the catch by all fishing craft of less than 5 tons net, as measured by the 
United States Customs Service, as well as all fish caught without the 
use of boats. In 1925 there were 5,055 persons, 1,945 motor boats, 
and 330 rowboats employed in the shore and boat fisheries of Wash- 
ington, with a yield amounting to 68,603,873 pounds, valued at 
$5,357,195. 
The catch by pound nets ranked of first importance, both as to 
amount and value, with a yield of 34,451,197 pounds, valued at 
$2,551,413, consisting almost entirely of salmon and steelhead trout. 
The catch by lines ranked second, with a yield of 15,403,607 pounds, 
valued at $1,283,725, consisting almost entirely of salmon, some 
halibut, and smaller quantities of other fish. Third in both amount 
and value were drift and set gill nets with a total catch amounting to 
11,455,401 pounds, valued at $877,577, which consisted of salmon 
and steelhead trout, with much smaller quantities of shad, sturgeon, 
and other fishes. 
Next were haul seines, with a yield of 1,580,499 pounds, valued at 
$117,997, of which salmon, carp, silver smelt, and steelhead trout 
made up the greater part. The yield of dip nets amounted to 
1,287,291 pounds, valued at $21,648, consisting almost entirely of 
eulachons or smelts. The yield of fish wheels amounted to 873,347 
pounds, valued at $82,477, and consisted of salmon, shad, steelhead 
trout, and sturgeon. Other apparatus, including drag bag nets, beam 
trawls, reef nets, and brush weirs, contributed 886,523 pounds, 
valued at $28,470. 
Among the shellfish appliances, tongs were most productive, with a 
yield of 701,680 pounds of oysters, valued at $375,650. Shovels were 
next, with 1,114,472 pounds of clams, valued at $160,291. Crab 
traps took 849,856 pounds of crabs, valued at $57,947.
