1 Includes the catch of smelt by bag drag nets, shown separately prior to 1935. 
2 Fished only on Indian reservations. 
8 In addition, the vessels of the Pacific coast halibut fleet landed approximately 590,000 pounds of halibut, 
sablefish, and ‘‘lingcod”’ livers at Seattle, valued at $277,400. 
4 Most of these cod were taken off Alaska. 
a Careht almost entirely for the utilization of the livers for grayfish oil. Most of the fish carcasses were 
iscarded. 
6 Statistics on the catch of salmon except those taken by troll lines, are reported to the State in number 
rather than pounds. The factors used in the above table for converting number of salmon to weight in 
pounds were as follows: Blueback, red, or sockeye, 7 pounds; chinook, or king, 19.77 pounds; chum or keta, 
10 pounds; humpback, or pink, 5 pounds; and silver, or coho, 7.97 pounds. 
7 The weight of crabs shown is based on an average of 20 pounds per dozen. 
8 Statistics on hard clams are based on yields of 28 percent edible meats for butter clams and 24 percent for ~ 
little-neck clams. 
§ Statistics on oysters are based on yields of 18 percent edible meats for native oysters and 10 percent for 
Japanese oysters. 
10 The weight of bay scallops is based on a yield of 17 percent edible meat.
