FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1939 233 
complied with these requests, endeavoring to offer assistance especially 
where the request has come from a large group or industry. However, 
we have not been able to satisfy all of the requests received because 
of insufficient personnel and because of inadequate funds to provide 
for travel expenses of the demonstrators. 
Some of the educational services rendered are discussed or referred 
to in previous paragraphs of this report. In brief, this work has 
covered the fields of commercial preserving of fishery products, fish 
cookery in the home, and the marketing of aquatic products. 
Another phase of this service has consisted of answering thousands 
of letters directed to the Bureau on fishery subjects and of supplying 
information to persons who have called at the Bureau personally. 
Many of the latter came from foreign lands to seek fishery informa- 
tion which might be useful in the conduct of the fishing mdustry in 
their native country.
