MARINE FISHERIES OF NORTH CAROLINA 



For the first time in this report there is used here an "All Food Fish 1926 

 Price Index." This index is exactly analogous to and derived in the same 

 way as the All-Commodity Wholesale 1926 Price Index, except that instead 

 of the weighted average price of all commodities, the composite price of 

 all food fish of the Atlantic-Gulf regions in 1926 is taken as the base 100.
