4 The catch of octopus was previously shown under set lines. 
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, 22 pounds; chum or keta, 
10 pounds; humpback or pink, 4.5 pounds; and silver or coho, 8 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 14 percent for 
Japanese oysters. 
10 The weight of bay scallops is based on a yield of 17 percent edible meat. 
Note.—Statistics of the catch by haul seines, set nets, and pound nets in this table are not comparable 
with those for previous years since a State initiative effective in 1935 prohibited the use in Puget Sound of 
these gears for the taking of salmon except by Indians on reservations.
