BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
III.— THE FISHERIES OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
GENERAL REMARKS AND STATISTICS. 
Compared with other New England States, the fisheries of New Hampshire have 
never been important, and in recent years have shown a serious decline. The coast 
line of New Hampshire is occupied by a single county, Rockingham, to which the entire 
fishery interests of the State belong. 
Three tables covering the combined fisheries of the State are first presented. 
These give 365 persons engaged in the industry, with an invested capital of $112,660, 
taking 4,354,568 pounds of products, valued at $88,511.
