THE MENHADEN FISHERY 159 



Future of the Industry. To ensure continued growth of the menhaden 

 industry, U.S. Government and industry-sponsored laboratories are 

 engaged in research designed to develop new and diversified uses for 

 menhaden and menhaden products. In addition, the industry is engaged 

 in a vigorous promotional program, aimed at expanding uses of the pres- 

 ent products. Attention also is being given to biological studies on men- 

 haden to provide a basis for maximum utilization of the resource with- 

 out endangering the future supply. Although there appears to be no 

 immediate or easily attainable solution to the complex economic prob- 

 lems currently facing the industry, the above measures will help sub- 

 stantially in broadening the market base for menhaden products and 

 assist in the wise utilization of the menhaden resource.
