MANUFACTURED FISHERY PRODUCTS 
The output of manufactured fishery products (canned, cured, 
packaged, and byproducts) in the United States and Alaska during 
the most recent years for which data are available were valued at 
$145,908,313. Of this amount, canned products accounted for 52 
percent, byproducts 20 percent, fresh and frozen packaged products 
17 percent, and cured products 11 percent. 
Since general statistical surevys were conducted in only the New 
England, Middle Atlantic, Chesapeake, and Pacific States, and Alaska 
for 1935, the following compilation of manufactured fishery products 
consists of composite data, based on the most recent statistics. The 
years covered by the data are indicated by footnotes.
