OREGON 



In 1929 Oregon employed 21 per cent of the total number of fisher- 

 men and accounted for 2 per cent of the total catch of the Pacific 

 coast section. There were 4,193 fishermen employed, which is 2 per 

 cent more than in 1928. Of this total, 118 were employed on fishing 

 vessels and 4,075 in the shore and boat fisheries. The catch amounted 

 to 25,283,649 pounds, valued at $2,605,153. This is a decrease of 8 

 per cent in the catch and 3 per cent in the value of the catch, as com- 

 pared with the catch and its value for 1928. Of the total value of 

 the catch, salmon accounted for 86 per cent and steelhead trout 6 per 

 cent. Of the total production, salmon accounted for 80 per cent; 

 steelhead trout, 6 per cent; and shad, 5 per cent. 



Operating units. — The catch of fishery products from the Columbia 

 River and coastal districts of Oregon was taken by 4,193 fishermen, 

 44 motor vessels, 2,484 motor and other small boats, and 8 major 

 types of gear. The vessels had a combined capacity of 422 net tons.
