FISHERIES OF THE. SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES.

Dare, Hyde, and Beaufort — and tlieir use appears to be increasing, especially in Dare 
County. Pots took 153,415 pounds of eels in 1890, for wliick tlie fishermen received 
$9,222. 
Fyke nets are the only remaining apparatus used commercially in taking fish, and 
these are only sparingly employed in Dare and Sampson counties, where they catch 
small quantities of catfish, mullet, perch, suckers, sheepshead, striped bass, and 
squeteague. The total yield in 1890 was 24,885 pounds, valued at $716. 
In the vessel fisheries, the yield of which has been given in a previous table, the 
variety of products taken and of apparatus used is too limited to require elaboration 
in a special table. The oysters were obtained with tongs, the menhaden with purse 
seines, the mullet and Spanish mackerel with haul seines, and the bluefish and sque- 
teague with lines.
