1 Previously shown as drag bag nets. 
2 Set nets were fished only on Indian reservations. 
3 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, 5 pounds; chinook or king, 23 pounds; chum or keta, 10 
pounds; humpback or pink, 4 pounds; silver or coho, 10 pounds; and steelhead trout, 9 pounds. 
4 Steelhead trout shown in this table were taken on Indian reservations 
5 The weight of crabs shown in this table is based on an average of 22 pounds per dozen. 
6 The weight of razor clams shown is based on a yield of 42 percent of edible meats. 
7 The statistics on oysters used in this table are based on yields of 14 percent edible meats for Japanese and 
native oysters, and 13 percent for eastern oysters. 
Note.—A State law effective in 1935 prohibited the use of certain gear in the salmon fishery, except for 
Indians fishing on their reservations. This eliminated the Washington coast pound net fishery and 
restricted set nets to Indian reservations. :
