1 The material used herewith are the data on 1922 production of fishes, exclusive of salt cod. 
2 See discussion in text, p. 452. 
As the State-collected statistics of California are considered the 
more reliable of the two sets available, they have been used in the 
tables given in this section. In those tables requiring the values as 
well as quantities of California fish the 1922 statistics were omitted 
because there are no values available for the specific quantities re- 
ported by the State. 
The comparative tables that follow give the statistics on fishermen, 
vessels, and boats for the Pacific Coast States as a whole for the years 
1922 to 1925, inclusive, and for each State separately; on quantities 
and values, by species, of the yield of the fisheries of the Pacific Coast 
States for the years 1923 to 1925, inclusive; on quantities and values, 
by species, for Washington and Oregon, 1922 to 1925, inclusive;
