FISHERIES BY APPARATUS 



The vessel fisheries of Lake Huron in 1922 produced 2,617,201 

 pounds, valued at $250,588, and the shore and boat fisheries, 11,324,- 

 914 pounds, valued at S694,671. In the vessel fisheries most of the 

 catch was made by gill nets and consisted chiefly of lake trout, cis- 

 coes, and whitefish; the catch by lines consisted entirely of lake 

 trout. In the shore fisheries the pound net was the chief form of 

 apparatus, taking 8,724,330 pounds of fish, principally ciscoes, suck- 

 ers, pike perch, and whitefish. The remainder of the catch was dis- 

 tributed among gill nets, seines, fyke nets, and lines, the first two 

 named being the most important.
