REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



Table showing by States the boats, apparatus, and property employed in the alewife fisheries 

 of the United States in 1896 — Continued. 



The alewives taken and sold in 1890 numbered nearly 148,000,000, 

 weighing 612,000,000 pounds and valued at $459,000. The catch in the 

 foregoing apparatus set especially for these fish was much less than in 

 the appliances operated primarily for shad. Thus the alewife fisheries 

 proper yielded upward of 32,900,000 fish, while in the shad fisheries 

 there were over 108,000,000 alewives taken and in other fisheries about 

 0,400,000. The participation of the different States in the yield of these 

 fish is shown in the table.
