The catch hy different forms of apparatus . — lu the ten counties of New Jersey hav- 
ing vessel fisheries, oysters taken with dredges, tongs, etc., constitute a more or less 
imi^ortant part of the yield, except in the one county of Middlesex. The yield of the 
vessel fisheries in 1892 was valued at $1,291,358, of which $1,171,611 represented oys- 
ters, $71,566 quahogs, $1,375 crabs, $2,136 lobsters, and $11,310 fish. Purse seines, 
lines, and iiots are used in the capture of fish. In Atlantic, Burlington, Monmouth, 
and Ocean counties, seines are operated for menhaden, the yield of which fish in 1892 
was 10,515,960 pounds, valued at $30,125. Lines are emxdoyed for bluefish, cod, scup, 
sea bass, and squeteagne in Atlantic, Cae May, Cumberland, and Monmouth counties; 
the output in 1892 was 369,100 pounds, having a value of $13,510. Pots are used to a 
limited extent on vessels fishing from Cape May and Hudson counties; 8,700 pounds of 
eels, worth $375, and 31,800 i)ounds of lobsters worth $2,136, were thus taken in 1892.
