The fisheries by counties . — The coast of Alabama is occupied by the counties of 
Baldwin and Mobile, each of which has fishery interests of commercial importance; 
they are separated by Mobile Bay. The city of Mobile is in the county of the same 
name, and gives to it the lead which its fisheries take over those of Baldwin County. 
Tables 33, 34, and 35, which follow, show the extent of the fisheries in these 
counties; they should be read in connection with other tables under the heads of 
“Fisheries by apparatus” and “The vessel and shore fisheries,” in which additional 
figures for the counties are given.
