INVESTMENT. 
Twenty-one vessels were engaged in fishing and 9 in transporting, 
while 11 launches, each under 5 net tons, and 533 boats were employed 
in all branches of the fisheries. Hand lines were used exclusively in 
the fishery. California leads in the total investment in the fishery, 
followed by Alaska and Washington in the order named. The high 
value of the investment in Alaska is due to the number of shore 
stations located there.
