SECTION 15 - PICTORIAL SECTION 



As many of the readers of this publication may not be familiar with all of the species 

 of fish and shellfish, etc., taken commercially in the United States, illustrations of 

 many of the various species are included in the following pages . The descriptive mater- 

 ial appearing with each species includes the areas in which commercial landings are 

 made in the United States and does not constitute the extreme limits in which they occur. 

 Similarly, the gear listed for each species do not represent the only types of apparatus 

 by which these species are obtained, but represent those types which are normally used 

 in their capture. The gear do not necessarily appear in the order of their importance. 

 Illustrations of species landed in Hawaii are not included in this section. 



For more detailed information on the nomenclature of the fishery products listed 

 below, the reader is referred to Section 14 of this publication entitled, "Glossary."
