PACIFIC COD FISHERIES. 81 
PRODUCTS. 
The total number of cod landed in 1915 amounted to 3,801,586, the 
second largest number ever landed in one year on the Pacific coast, 
with a round weight of 38,015,860 pounds. The cured weight of these 
fish amounted to 15,199,314 pounds, which had a value of $501,568 as 
delivered at the home ports. As the companies prepare and market 
their own fish in a dried, boneless, pickled, ete., condition, the ultimate 
returns received by the companies will be much larger than is shown 
in this table. 
The vessel fisheries produced 10,934,284 pounds of cured products, 
valued at $360,322, while the shore fisheries produced 4,265,030 
pounds, valued at $141,246. 
Washington leads in the total quantity produced and the value of 
same, followed by California and Alaska in the order named. Nearly 
all of the shore stations operated in Alaska are owned by Cali- 
fornians.
