IMPROVEMENTS IN MERCHANDISING FISHERY PRODUCTS. 



There has been evident, particularly for the past year or two, an 

 increasing perception by the fish industry of the necessity for better 

 methods of merchandising fish. This field of activity includes not 

 only technical methods of preparing, shipping, and handling fish, 

 but also favorable publicity that will increase the demand for and 

 consumption of fish.
