Gilbert and Marquesas Islands), Americans, Portuguese, and Germans. 
The shoresmen shown were employed principally in the fish markets.

include those engaged in carrying on the wholesale fish trade of 
Honolulu and Hilo. 
The total investment in the industry, including the wholesale trade, 
was $739,741. The. shore and accessory property and cash capital 
employed in the wholesale trade of Honolulu and Hilo are included in 
this table. 
So far as quantity is concerned, the catch of akule was the most 
important. but malolo leads in the value of catch. Other leading 
species were amaama, ulua, aku, oio, awa, moano, kawakawa, opelu, 
opihi, and ula. The total catch amounted to 6.222.455 pounds, valued 
at 31,085,646. 
[The tables on which the preceding remarks are based formed part of the original 
Congressional document, but as they necessarily occur in Mr. Cobb’s statistical 
report (see pp. 383-499) they are omitted here to avoid repetition. ]
