From the foregoing tables the following average figures for the vessels of New 
Hampshire may be deduced: The average tonnage is 39.20, the average value per 
ton is $54, the average value of vessels is $2,133, the average value of apparatus and 
outfit is $1,851, the average number of crew is 9, the average value of catch per 
man is $397, the average value of catch per vessel is $3,734, the average value of catch 
per net ton is $95, and the average value of catch for each $100 invested in the vessel 
fishery is $95. 
Cod is by far the most important species taken in the vessel fisheries, representing 
38 per cent of the stock. Haddock yields 28 per cent, halibut 11 per cent, and hake 
and mackerel 7 per cent each. 
In the table showing the vessel catch of fish by apparatus the prominent position 
of hand lines and trawl lines as means of capture will be at once apparent, more than 
three-fourths of the quantity and about seven-eighths of the value accruing from this 
source. Seines are the next important apparatus, followed by harpoons and nets.
