FRANCE 
The statistics of the French catch of cod off the east coast of North 
America are taken from “Statistique des Peches Maritimes,” an 
annual publication of the Service des Peches Maritimes, Paris, which 
gives a separate table on the cod fishery of Terre-Neuve. The follow- 
ing statement is from a letter dated June 16, 1927, from Chester 
Lloyd Jones, United States commercial attaché at Paris, who secured 
his information from the Comité Central des Armateurs de France: 
The French statistics indicate only the weight of the cod on arrival in France. 
These weights refer to the prepared cod; that is to say, cod salted after having 
been slit and the head removed. The fish are prepared aboard the fishing boats 
and are given an actual weighing only on unloadings. For this reason it is impos- 
sible to indicate precisely the weight of the cod when caught. This fresh eod is 
known as “‘morues rondes”’ (round cod). Nevertheless, tests made on a certain 
number of boats permit the establishment of a rough relation between the 
“round” or fresh cod and the prepared or green cod after slitting and salting. 
It is generally accepted that 150 kilograms of round cod equal 55 kilos of green 
salt cod. This is only a rough approximation and is subject to error according 
to the promptness with which the green cod are weighed. There may be consid- 
erable variation due to the drying, which may occur between the time of original 
salting and the time of weighing. This may involve a period of several months. 
In converting the French statistics to the standard basis of pounds 
of fresh round cod we have used the factor six (= x2,205=6.0). 
The resulting totals are given in Table 4.
