THE FISHERIES BY COUNTIES. 



Eight countios in the eastern jjart of Pennsylvania engage in the 

 tisheries — Bucks, Delaware, Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia, and 

 Pike counties on the Delaware River, and Lancaster and York counties 

 on the vSustjuehanna River. Nearly half of the total number of per- 

 sons eni])l()ye(l, over two-thirds of the total investment, and almost 

 one-half of the catch are credited to Philadelphia County. This is 

 largely owing to the wholesale trade of the city of Philadelphia and 

 the vessel tishery for oysters from that city. The relative importance 

 of the tisheries of each county in 11)01 is exhibited in the three following 

 tables:
