QUANTITIES FROZEN IN 1922. 



The following table shows the amount of fish frozen in the United 

 States in 1922, by months, with totals for 1920 and 1921 for com- 

 parison. If we reckon the total catch of edible fish in the United 

 States and Alaska as 1,600,000,000 pounds, the total amount of 

 fish frozen — 7o.4o8.674 pounds— is about 4.7 per cent of the total.
