U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



Other counties along the Columbia River produced 5,070,410 

 pounds of fishery products, valued at $384,130. Practically all of 

 this production consisted of salmon and steclhead trout, with a 

 small quantity of sturgeon. Multnomah County, in which the city 

 of Portland is located, was foremost in production. In addition to 

 the salmons, steelhead trout, and sturgeon, which constituted the 

 bulk of her fishery production, her fishermen caught halibut, "ling- 

 cod," rockfishes, sablefish, other fish, and shellfish. 



The coastal counties, exclusive of Clatsop County, produced 

 7,558,783 pounds, valued at $348,356. As in the other sections of 

 Oregon, the salmon and steelhead trout yielded the bulk of fishery 

 products. Tillamook County showed the greatest production, fol- 

 lowed in order by Lincoln, Douglas, Coos, Curry, and Lane Counties. 

 Lincoln County produced the greatest variety of fishes, included in 

 her catch being halibut, "lingcod," rockfishes, sablefish, smelt, and 

 sole, as well as the predominant salmons. Her shell fisheries were 

 also of some importance, yielding 241,942 pounds, valued at $19,298, 

 and consisted of soft clams, oysters, crawfish, and crabs. In the 

 production of the last named, Lincoln County was first in the State. 

 The interior counties of Oregon produced 232,325 pounds, valued at 

 $16,774, consisting largely of salmon and fresh-water crawfish.
