Note. — In order to show the extent of the fisheries of the entire State, the following condensed table, 
covering the east coast of the State, is introduced. Combining the two sets of figures, it is seen that the 
fisheries of the east and west coasts gave employment to 4,983 persons in 1889 and 5,472 persons in 1890. 
The capital invested was $1,411,344 in the former year and $1,510,673 in the latter, and the value of the 
products of the fisheries was $1,148,933 in 1889 and $1,281,670 in 1890, not including alligators.
