Table 71 shows the number of vessels engaged in each fishery, with their tonnage, 
value, and crew, from which it will be seen that more vessels are employed in the 
mackerel fishery than in any other, although the whale fleet has the greatest tonnage, 
the cod vessels fishing on the eastern banks the greatest value, and the market vessels 
the largest number of fishermen. Only 2 vessels were engaged in the cod fishery in 
the Gulf of St. Lawrence and 5 in the Iceland halibut fishery.
