In the following table, based on the preceding, the wide difference in the various 
forms of apparatus is shown, and the disparity between the relative quantity and value 
of products taken in each is well exhibited. The percentage of the quantity and value 
of the catch in the various forms of apparatus is compared with the total yield.

From Table 39, showing certain averages and percentages, it is seen that in Pe- 
nobscot County for each $100 invested in boats the fishermen take products to the value 
of $1,354, this being considerably more than the average for any other county, although 
Waldo County shows $1,020. The average value of catch per each $100 invested in 
apparatus is greatest in Cumberland County, being $788; after which come Lincoln, 
Hancock, Knox, and Washington, with over $500 each. The average catch per man 
is greatest in Knox County, which shows $315, against $308 in York County and $256 
in Washington County. In the same table the percentage of value of yield in the 
principal forms of apparatus is given by counties. In Washington County it will be 
observed that 41 per cent of the total value of the shore fisheries is taken in pound
