GENERAL STATISTICS OF THE FISHERIES 



The total number of persons engaged in the fisheries of Alaska in 

 1927 was 28,872, or 820 more than in 1926. Products of the fisheries 

 were valued at $40,163,300, a decrease of $14,506,582, or 26.5 per 

 cent. The amount of investment in the industry has not been 

 included for the reason that it is practically impossible to secure 

 complete data, and the figures, if used, would be inaccurate. For 

 years past the Bureau of the Census and other governmental agencies 

 have discontinued publishing figures showing investments in various 

 industries, and this practice is to be followed hereafter in respect to 

 the fisheries of Alaska.
