Fish scrap and meal.—The total value of scrap and meal of all 
kinds produced in 1926 was $3,651,077, made up as follows: Dried 
scrap and meal, 61,929 tons, valued at $3,056,406; acidulated scrap, 
23,852. tons, valued at $551,405; crude or green scrap, 6,157 tons, 
valued at $9,491; and 1,036 tons of shrimp bran, valued at $33,775. 
This is a decrease of 11 per cent in the quantity of dried scrap and 
meal and 43 per cent in acidulated scrap. The decreased production 
of these materials was due largely to the partial failure of the men- 
haden fishery.

Fish glue.—In 1926 the production of fish glue was 520,622 gallons, 
valued at $732,109. The production of this commodity has increased 
appreciably, as may be seen from the following figures on the produc- 
tion for the last six years:
