FISHERIES OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. 
167 
The next table shows 200 fishing vessels and 14 transporting vessels engaged in the 
fisheries of Connecticut in 1889. These, with their outfit and apparatus, were valued 
at $696,921. 
The fishing vessels of New London County, 86 in number, use chiefly seines, lines, 
and pots; in New Haven and Fairfield counties dredges are the principal form of 
apparatus. 
The vessel fisheries of the State yielded 53,707,004 pounds of products, valued, at 
first hands, at $1,107,087. New London County is credited with the largest quantity 
of products, and Fairfield County with the smallest catch, although the output of the 
fisheries of New Haven County is of greater value than that of the two other counties 
combined, owing to the relatively high price of oysters, which are practically the only 
products of the county, constituting 99 per cent of the yield in this as in Fairfield 
County.
