22. FISHERIES OF MENDOCINO COUNTY. 
The shores of Mendocino County are bold and rocky and not adapted 
to fishing, nor has the county any rivers of note. So far as could be 
learned, there is no commercial fishing, and at the best it is believed 
there has been no advance since 1880, when Jordan estimated that the 
total annual catch could not exceed 3,000 pounds.
