PRODUCTS WITH REFERENCE TO APPARATUS USED. 
Iii tlie limited vessel fishing now carried on in Georgia, seines and tongs are the 
only forms of apparatus used, and terrapin and oysters are the only products taken. 
The results of this fishery in the two years covered by this report are shown in the 
following table, which relates to Chatham County, to which the use of vessels is 
confined :

The kinds of apparatus employed in the shore fisheries are much more numerous, 
and the following table, giving the quantities and value of products taken in each form, 
presents some interesting facts for the different counties. The most important means 
of capture are gill nets. In 1890 these took 608,662 pounds of fish, valued at $37,063. 
The next prominent apparatus are lines, which yielded 353,272 pounds of fish, worth 
$17,887. The other forms of apparatus used in the capture of fish proper — seines, 
pound nets, cast nets, fyke nets, etc. — are relatively unimportant.
