ratus in Rhode Island for the capture of fish proper, yielding three- 
The number of these nets 
erfiployed was 198, a decrease of 4 since 1898; but the value increased 
fourths of the total product in 1902. 
from $110,395 to $125,790. 
The catch in 1898 was 14,385,126 pounds, 
worth $220,791, and in 1902 12,924,261 pounds, for which the fisher- 
men received $310,219, an increase per pound from 1.54 to 2.40 cents. 
More than half of the pound-net and trap-net catch consists of scup, 
and nearly half of the remainder is squeteague.
