FISHERIES OF MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA, 1925 
The statistics contained in this report are based on the regular 
canvass of the fisheries of Maryland and Virginia for the calendar year 
1925.’ The statistics of the oyster industry, however, represent the 
oyster season of 1924-25. ‘This report also includes comparative sta- 
tistics of the production of shad, alewives, crabs, and oysters in the 
two States for various years from 1880 to 1925. Statistics of the shad 
and alewife fisheries of the Potomac River for 1926 (following the prac- 
tice of making an annual canvass of these fisheries, beginning with 
1919) and comparative statistics of the production of shad for various 
years from 1896 to 1926 and of alewives for various years from 1909 
to 1926 are given on page 394. 


7 The canvass was made by Winthrop A. Roberts, Rob Leon Greer, R. N. Burrows, W. A. Galloway, 
and C. E. Brandon. °
