The statistics of vessel fisheries of Connecticut are next considered by customs 
districts, the vessels being credited to the districts in which their fishing licenses are 
obtained. Vessels are enrolled for the fisheries in four districts, the extent of the 
industry in each of which is shown in the two following tables. A table giving certain 
averages for each district is also presented.
