U.S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS 



Statistics on the products of the various manufactured fishery 

 enterprises have been collected more completely for the years 1930 

 and 1931 than for any previous years. In addition to statistics on 

 the production of cured fishery products, canned fishery products 

 and byproducts, data were also collected and are presented herewith 

 which indicate the output of all packaged fishery products, including 

 shucked oysters, crab meat, and the like. 



It should be explained that the statistics for 1931 which are pre- 

 sented herewith include the entire production for the United States 

 and Alaska, whereas those for 1930 omitted the production in the 

 Mississippi River and tributaries.

' The figures in the above table do not check in all instances with figures on certain manufactured prod* 

 ucts shown in the report for 1931. This is due to the fact that the above figures were obtained as the result 

 of a more detailed survey, and several firms' production is includetl which is not shown in tlio previous 

 report. The figures lierewith include the i)roduction of every primary firm in the United States and 

 Alaska manufacturing fishery products or by-products as shown above which operated in 1931 to the 

 knowledge of the Bureau. Data on llie production of green-salted ground fish also are not included in this 

 tabulation, since these products are intermediate to other products which are included, and also complete 

 statistics on the green-salted fish are not available. 



Note.— Some of the above products may have been manufactured from products imported from another 

 country; therefore, tliey cannot be correlated directly with the catch within the United States and Alaska.
