he Atlantic side of the United States. Meas-ures have been taken to re-stock these rivers with salmon, ofwhich more will be said hereafter. But at present salmon-fish-ing belongs wholly to the Pacific side, and mainly to Oregon andthe Sacramento River, in California, where it employed about8000 persons. The total catch of Oregon in 1880 was 39,500,000pounds; value, as fresh fish, $2,776,724. But a very large partof the salmon were canned, and in that state sent to market.In Oregon and California there were some 45 canning establish-ments, employing about 8000 hands, and putting up 31,453,000pounds of salmon in 1 -lb. cans, the value of which was $3,255,365.The cost of the fish canned was $909,818; so that there was anincreased value of $2,345,547 given to the fish by the processof canning.

From 215,000,000 pounds of fresh codfish,80,000,000 pounds of dried fish were prepared, valued at about$2,750,000—making the total products of the cod-fishery about$3,200,000. The fishing for hake, halibut, and haddock is es-sentially like that of cod. The value of all these fish was about$1,800,000, bringing the value of this class of fisheries up toat least $5,000,000 in Massachusetts and Maine. The Mackerel-Fishery also belongs to Massachusetts andMaine. The catch in 1880 was about 90,000,000; the value ofthe product, fresh and pickled, about $1,700,000. The Herring-Fishery belongs chiefly to Maine, althoughit is carried on to some extent in Massachusetts. The entirevalue of its products in these two States was, in 1880, about$1,200,000.
