MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS 
The output of manufactured fishery products (canned, cured, 
packaged, and byproducts) in the United States and Alaska during 
the most recent years for which data are available was valued at 
$185,292,159. 
Of this amount, canned products accounted for 57 per- 
cent, byproducts 20 percent, fresh and frozen packaged products 15 
percent, and cured products 8 percent. 
Since complete general statistical surveys were conducted for 1937 
data in each of the geographical sections of the United States and 
Alaska except the Mississippi River area, the following compilation 
of manufactured fishery products consists of data for 1937 with the 
exception of a small quantity of salted and smoked fish produced in 
the Mississippi River section.
