Texas fish and oyster taxes and catches in Texas waters
Texas fish and oyster data show a fiscal year ending August 21, 1924 with 2,501,460 pounds of fish sold in Texas waters and taxed at $2 per 1,000 pounds, yielding about $7,187 to the state. Wholesalers sold 9,424.98 pounds of fish taxed at $1 per 1,080 pounds, totaling roughly $4,243. The report notes discrepancies between fishermen and wholesalers, a poor catch trend since 1914, and factors such as Gulf storms and war drawing fishermen away. Oyster sales reached 29,462 barrels, the smallest since 1914, amid licensing and tax figures for 649 wholesalers and related revenues. Overall, 1914 marked the oyster industry’s peak in Texas.
