FISHERIES BY APPARATUS. 
The combined yield of the vessel and shore fisheries of South Caro- 
lina in 1918 with all forms of apparatus amounted to 3,746,932 
pounds, valued at $207,690. Grabs were the most productive form 
of gear used, taking 283,288 bushels of oysters, valued at $67,139. 
The catch with gill nets, consisting chiefly of shad and sturgeon, 
amounted to 350,902 pounds, valued at $55,827. The catch of 
oysters with tongs amounted to 114,402 bushels, valued at $29,403. 
Sea bass, king whiting, and squeteague were the principal species 
taken with lines, the total catch with this form of apparatus being 
291,575 pounds, valued at $24,751. The catch with seines was 
237,375 pounds, valued at $22,439, of which 176,350 pounds, valued 
at $17,531, were mullet. 
The two leading forms of a paratus used in the shore fisheries 
were gill nets Pai grabs. Other kinds of gear used in the shore 
fisheries were seines, cast nets, otter trawls, gigs, stop nets, bow 
nets, and rakes. 
Only three forms of fishing apparatus were employed in the vessel 
fisheries, namely, grabs, tongs, and lines.
