' Includes District of Columbia. 
The yield of the fisheries of this region was 590,454,360 liounds, having a first 
value of $19,023,474. The quantity^ given includes only' the net weights of shellfish. 
Owing to the large catch of a comparatively cheap fish (menhaden) in New York and 
Virginia, the quantity of products there taken was considerably larger than in 
Maryland, the fisheries of which were far more valuable. The table shows that the 
fisheries of the latter State were worth $6,460,759, those of New York $4,817,369, 
those of Virginia $3,647,845, those of New Jersey $3,520,057, those of Pennsylvania 
$322,021, and those of Delaware $255,423.
