striking changes took place. In 1921 hahbut stood first in the order 

 of amount frozen, while in 1922 it dropped to sixth place; salmon 

 changed from second to first place; ciscoes, which were fourth in 

 192irwere second only to salmon in 1922. Mackerel showed the 

 most phenomenal increase of 129 per cent and moved from seventh 

 place in 1921 to fourth in 1922. This was caused by the unusually 

 large run of tinker mackerel on the New England coast in the fall 

 of 1922. Only the four groups, salmon, ciscoes, mackerel, and 

 whiting increased; all others showed a decrease in quantity frozen.
