FROZEN FISH. 



COLD-STORAGE HOLDINGS IN 1922. 



The year 1922 was the first 3^ear of publication by the Bureau of 

 Fisheries of the statistics on frozen fish collected by the Bureau 

 of Markets and Crop Estimates of the Department of Agriculture. 

 Monthly bulletins were issued, showing the holdings, by sections of 

 the country, of the several species. The following table shows the 

 total holdings of all the freezers, 274 in number, which are devoted 

 wholly or in part to the cold storage of fish, together with the totals 

 for the years 1917 to 1921, inclusive, for comparison. It will be 

 seen that the holdings were very much smaller in 1922 than they 

 had been on corresponding dates in several previous years. The 

 time of least holdings was in May, and of greatest holdings in 

 November.
