7 PACIFIC COAST FISHERIES. 145 
_ Nearly half the value of the products of the fisheries of the coast 
represents the outcome of the fisheries of California. That State takes 
‘precedence in the catch of numerous market fishes, as well as cod, 
oysters, crabs, shrimp, fur seals, and whales. The salmon fishery is 
most valuable in Alaska, the yield of whose fisheries is second to those 
of California in value. Washington leads Oregon in the general impor- 
‘tance of the fisheries, owing to the relatively important oyster fishery, 
which is insignificant in Oregon.
