COMMERCIAL FISHERIES OF ALASKA IN 1905. 



Halibut. — The above remarks on the codfish fleet from ports outside 

 of Alaska apply equally well to the Puget Sound fleet operating in the 

 waters of Southeast Alaska for halibut. Full information in regard to 

 this fleet is given elsewhere in this report. The table below shows 

 the number of vessels engaged in the fishery and the catch, together 

 with all other necessary data. The catch of the sail and auxiliary 

 power vessels in Alaskan waters has been taken from the custom- 

 house records at Juneau, but the catch of the steamers had to be esti- 

 mated, as these vessels return to their home port with their catch and 

 lump the catch taken in Alaskan waters with that obtained outside.
