FISHERY INDUSTRIES OF THE UNITED STATES, 1930 239 



fish given in this table represent the weights as landed from the 

 vessels. Many of the fresh fish landed were eviscerated on the 

 vessels. This is true of the ground-fish group, except the flounders. 

 Swordfish are eviscerated and beheaded. Fresh mackerel, flounders, 

 and herring are landed in the round. Species included under "other" 

 are generally landed in the round. Salted ground fish are landed 

 eviscerated and beheaded; salted mackerel eviscerated and split; and 

 salted herring, gibbed. The values are those received by the fisher- 

 man. The grades, or sizes given for certain species, are those 

 recognized in the trade.
