| Notes | Covers July 1, 1892 to June 30, 1893. This document carries forward the introduction to Pacific Coast fisheries begun in the 1889 report, and has many more statistics. Most statistics, unfortunately, are given by county rather than by river or estuary, but statistics for individual rivers are given for featured streams. We can, for example, get statistics for oyster harvests in Yaquina Bay. Statistics cover 1889-1892. Includes Plates 1-14, mostly illustrating representative fish species. Note: many stream names have old-style spelling. |
