12 FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 
5,602,749 pounds of fresh fish, valued at $218,625. These fish were 
landed in accordance with an arrangement with the Canadian Govern- 
ment, as an emergency war measure granting reciprocal privileges to 
fishing vessels, by which Canadian fishing vessels were permitted to 
land their fares at American ports direct from the fishing grounds. 
Canadian fishing vessels began to utilize this privilege in April and 
continued during the remainder of the year. The greater part of 
these fish, or 4,668,620 pounds, valued at $164,946, were landed at 
Portland.
