BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
Table 72 shows a very close resemblance between the two most important fisheries, 
the bank cod and the market; the aggregate catch in each is practically the same, 
although tlie product of the former is somewhat more valuable. The whale fishery 
ranks third in point of value, and leads by a considerable amount the halibut fishery, 
which in turn excels the mackerel. The sixth position is held by the shore fishery, 
which is far in advance of all other branches not mentioned above, none of which 
have products worth over $10,000.
