84 PACIFIC COD FISHERIES. 
SUMMARY OF CATCH. 
The following table gives a complete summary of all the codfish 
secured in the vessel and shore fisheries from the inception of the 
industry and carried to the home ports in Washington and Cali- 
fornia. No effort has been made to include the cod consumed lo- 
cally in Alaska, which, in the aggregate, amounts to considerable, 
as it forms the principal article of diet along a considerable stretch 
of Alaska’s coast line. This table shows that 54,052,993 fish were 
secured in the vessel fishery and 25,368,468 in the shore fishery, or a 
grand total of 79,421,461 fish.

SUMMARY OF VESSEL-FISHING DATA. 
The following table shows, in a summarized form, the available 
data covering the vessel fishery for cod on the Pacific coast from its 
inception in 1863 to 1915, inclusive. In this table is shown, by years, 
the number of vessels from the different States fishing on the various 
grounds, and the catch made on each ground. As separate data of 
the catches of the small vessels operating with the Alaska shore 
stations as their base have not been kept, it has not been possible to 
include these in this table, and they are merged into the shore-station 
data. The total catch of the fleet since 1863 amounts to 54,052,993 
cod.
