Note. — The following quantities of caviare, prepared from sturgeon roe, were made by the fishermen i n 1890 : South 
Carolina, 12,137 pounds, worth $1,980; Georgia, 3,000 pounds, worth $440; Florida, 1,875 pounds, worth $180. These items 
-are to be added to the above in order to show the total results of the fisheries. 
Another series of three tables illustrates special features of the fisheries as re- 
gards the products. 
The importance of the various forms of apparatus employed in the capture of fish 
and other products is exhibited in the following table. Seines are credited with the 
largest and most valuable catch, 33,164,442 pounds, worth $517,308, being taken in 
this way. Gill nets rank next, with 11,575,164 pounds, valued at $450,891. Tongs 
occupy the third position, taking 8,598,557 pounds (of the edible parts of oysters, clams, 
etc.), for which $267,681 was received. Lines took 3,903,729 pounds, worth $132,697. 
With pound nets a much larger yield was made than with lines, viz, 8,410,972 pounds, 
but the value of the same was only $126,256. The order of importance of the remain- 
ing forms of apparatus is skim and cast nets, pots, and fyke nets.
