VAUre; OF JAPANESE FISMERllS PRODUCTION 



1. Value data 16/ concerning Japanese fisheries production are available only for igafMjO (Table 13). 



Z. The production of Japanese fisheries has frequently been presented In terms of values. Figure S, 

 in which production in terms of tonnage is superimposed on the value figures, clearlv indicates the limita- 

 tions of value daU for this purpose. The two curves follow a similar trend during 3932-37 but show little 

 correlation in 1920-52. During 1929-31, "hen value of fisheries production was declining, the tonnage of 

 the catch was increasing. 



3. It should be noted that overseas fisheries are relatively more important by value than by volume. 

 The higher value is due largely to canned crab and canned -salmon which were produced for export. 



16/ The value figures presented here are the best which can be derived from Japanese statistics. It 



should be recognized that they are derived by adding figures which are not entirely comparable. In 

 some cases the value is for products as landed, but In others the value is for processed products. The 

 value data after \%X, which are considered misleading because of goyernment controlled price conditions, 

 are omitted.

Excluding fishery production of colonies for which data are incomplete. Although this Is an 

 attempt to present the value of marine products as landed, in some cases the value figures of 

 processed oroducts have been used. For coastal and offshore fisheries and aqulculturs the 

 value is of marine products as landed; for the overseas fisheries the figures are based partly 

 on the value of products aa landed and partly on the value of orocessed products; for whaling 

 the figures are the value of processed products.

No comparable data. After the Inauguration of new price control regulations in 191*1 the value 

 figures do not represent the value of the total catch and are omitted from the Japanese Govern- 

 ment's official statistics.
