Census bulletin No z95 supplies some very In
tercsting and instructive knowledge in regard to
Massachusetts fisheries, II appears from the
statistics presented that 2Nll7 persons are ac-
lively engaged in tho industry of ocean fishery,
and that 10 this number may be added about
Ave thousand other persons employed IN the
manufacture of nets, lines, hooks, rigging, and
ish.boxes, and in the building of vessels aud
boats used in the fisheries. Including the iami-
lies OF fishermen ana others dependent upon
the fisheries IL is estimated that 100 600 persons
In the state rely upon thisindustry for their sup
port The value Of the fish alone In the census
year was moro than s50O00.0, and the value Of
miscellaneous products, such rs Holsters, CLAIMS,
oysters, fish oil, aud guano, was s9)l 5l3
The products of the whale fishery
were rising $4,000. The total capital
invested in vessels, boats whaYCs, build,
ings, and apparatus for catching and curing
fish Is said to be- tlt3iL tju. and the total value
of the products is sS,liLlj0 This is tho value
