1 These figures represent the value of the manufactured product. It is estimated that the value of the 

 catch to the fishermen was approximately $9,860,000. The round weight of the salmon landed by the fisher- 

 men was about 381,035,010 pounds, and the corresponding figure for herring was about 180,000,000 pounds. 

 The cod figures given above do not include the offshore catch in waters adjacent to Alaska, which amounted 

 to 10,541,146 pounds of dry-salted cod and 19,400 pounds of tongues, having a total value of $573,170, landed 

 at ports of the Pacific Coast States.
