FISHERIES OF THE PACIFIC COAST STATES » 



The yield of the commercial fisheries of the Pacific Coast States 

 (Washington, Oregon, and California) during 1936 amounted to 

 1,925,342,300 pounds, valued at $24,881,509 to^ the fishermen, repre- 

 senting an increase of 15 percent in volume and 8 percent in value as 

 compared with the catch in the previous year. These fisheries gave 

 employment to 20,620 fishermen as compared with 20,583 in 1935. 



» Data on the operating units and catch of the fisheries of the Pacific Coast States have been taken largely 

 from statistics collected by the various State agencies. Supplementary surveys, compilations, and analyses 

 have been made by agents of this Bureau in order that the figures may be presented in a manner comparable 

 with those of other .sections. While statistics of the fisheries of California are for the calendar year, those 

 for Oregon and Washington are for the fiscal year ending Marcii 31, 1937. except that statistics of the lialibut 

 fishery in these latter States are for tlie calendar year. For a clearer understanding of the statistics pub- 

 li.shed in this section the reader is referred to the section in the latter part of this document entitled "Sta- 

 tistical survey procedure."
