THE PRODUCTS BY APPARATUS. 



Through the importance of the oyster industry, the principal forms 

 of apparatus used in the fisheries of Connecticut are dredges, rakes, 

 and tongs, which yielded $2,853,528, or 90 per cent of the total value 

 of the products. Next in rank among the forms of apparatus are 

 seines, which yielded products to the value of $95,706; lines, which 

 yielded $67,694 worth; eel and lobster pots, $66,140; pound nets, 

 $32,347; gill nets, $31,048; harpoons and spears, $22,524; fyke nets, 

 $4,501, and dip nets, which yielded only $460 worth of fishery prod- 

 ucts. The following series of tables show, by counties and species,
