Notes: 1) The comparison cannot be made by size for 1985 as the registered boats were not classified by gross tonnage
2) Those 31 boats registered in “Other Provinces” outside the coastal zones were excluded, reducing the total from 17,281 to 17,250
3) In the 1995 Census, “small-scale” includes unpowered, outboard-powered, and inboard-powered boats of less than 10 tonnage, while the “small-scale” registered boats do not included non-powered boats

2) The outboard-powered and unpowered boats were not cross-tabulated with fishing gear in the 1985 census
