THE FISHERIES CONSIDERED BY COUNTIES. 
The statistics presented for this State cover 10 counties, viz : Alachua, Brevard, 
Olay, Dade, Duval, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, St. Johns, and Volusia. In the three 
tables which follow, the extent of the fisheries in each of these is shown. Duval 
County, which embraces the mouth and lower reaches of the St. Johns River, ranks 
first in importance in the three items of persons engaged, capital invested, and quan- 
tity and value of products. The other especially prominent counties are Orange and 
Brevard, the former an interior county, including the headwaters of the St. Johns 
River, the latter on the coast and embracing most of the Indian River region.
