  THE 
  FISHERIES 
  CONSIDEEED 
  BY 
  COUNTIES. 
  

  

  Commercial 
  fishing 
  in 
  eastern 
  Florida 
  is 
  carried 
  on 
  in 
  six 
  coastal 
  

   counties 
  (Nassau, 
  Duval, 
  St. 
  John, 
  Volusia, 
  Brevard, 
  and 
  Dade), 
  and 
  

   two 
  interior 
  counties 
  (Orange 
  and 
  Putnam). 
  In 
  persons 
  employed, 
  

   investment, 
  and 
  quantity 
  of 
  catch, 
  Brevard 
  County 
  takes 
  the 
  lead, 
  the 
  

   value 
  of 
  the 
  catch, 
  however, 
  being 
  exceeded 
  by 
  Nassau 
  County. 
  

   Indian 
  River 
  is 
  almost 
  wholly 
  within 
  Brevard 
  County. 
  Nassau 
  

   County 
  is 
  second 
  in 
  persons 
  employed 
  and 
  quantity 
  of 
  catch, 
  while 
  

   Dade 
  County 
  is 
  third 
  in 
  persons 
  employed 
  and 
  second 
  in 
  value 
  of 
  

   investment. 
  The 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  squeteague, 
  and 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  

   of 
  the 
  mullet, 
  were 
  taken 
  in 
  Brevard 
  County; 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  red 
  snappers, 
  

   nearly 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  prawn, 
  and 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  oysters 
  came 
  from 
  

   Nassau 
  County. 
  Duval 
  County 
  leads 
  in 
  the 
  shad 
  catch, 
  Orange 
  

   County 
  in 
  alewives, 
  black 
  bass, 
  bream, 
  cat-fish, 
  and 
  strawberry 
  bass. 
  

   Dade 
  is 
  first 
  in 
  the 
  catch 
  of 
  blue-fish, 
  grunt, 
  king-fish, 
  pompano, 
  

   Spanish 
  mackerel, 
  otter, 
  and 
  alligator.
