SALMON FISHERY OF PENOBSCOT RIVER AND BAY. 
The greater part of the catch of Atlantic salmon in Maine is 
usually taken in Penobscot River and Bay. In 1920, the latest year 
for which statistics are available, there were 128 persons engaged in 
the salmon fishery in these waters. The investment included 68 
weirs and traps, valued at $6,175; 15 gill nets, valued at $240; rods 
and lines to the value of $1,500; 7 gasoline boats, valued at $700; 85 
rowboats, etc., valued at $2,845; and shore and accessory property, 
valued at $1,365; a total of $12,825. The catch amounted to 1,598 
salmon in number, or 15,135 pounds, haying a value to the fishermen 
of $7,210. The catch in 1919 was 1,322 salmon in number, or 13,557 
pounds, valued at $5,771. The following tables give the extent of 
this fishery by localities, in 1918, 1919, and 1920, and comparative
