﻿FISHERIES 
  OF 
  THE 
  PACIFIC 
  COAST 
  IN 
  1895. 
  

  

  615 
  

  

  that 
  made 
  in 
  fishing 
  for 
  salmon, 
  no 
  special 
  fishing 
  gear 
  being 
  used 
  for 
  

   shad. 
  Often 
  in 
  hanling 
  seines 
  for 
  salmon 
  thousands 
  of 
  pounds 
  of 
  shad 
  

   are 
  taken 
  and 
  turned 
  back 
  into 
  the 
  river. 
  Salt 
  shad 
  are 
  much 
  thought 
  

   of 
  in 
  some 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  eastern 
  country, 
  but 
  have 
  not 
  yet 
  been 
  

   introduced 
  on 
  the 
  Pacific.

  The 
  taking 
  of 
  salmon 
  in 
  the 
  Columbia 
  River 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  short 
  rivers 
  

   of 
  the 
  coast 
  comprises 
  almost 
  the 
  entire 
  fishing 
  of 
  this 
  Stnte. 
  The 
  

   yield 
  of 
  sturgeon 
  is 
  of 
  some 
  importance, 
  but 
  this 
  and 
  other 
  products 
  

   are 
  insignificant 
  when 
  compared 
  with 
  salmon. 
  After 
  the 
  condensed 
  

   tables 
  which 
  follow, 
  there 
  are 
  brief 
  notices 
  of 
  the 
  fisheries 
  in 
  each 
  

   county 
  and 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  detailed 
  tables 
  showing, 
  by 
  counties, 
  the 
  extent 
  

   of 
  the 
  fisheries 
  and 
  the 
  canning 
  industry.
