FROZEN-FISH TRADE‘ 
FISH, FROZEN 
During 1935 the freezing plants which reported their activities to the 
Government froze 149,642,769 pounds of fishery products. These 
products at the time they were held in cold storage plants, were esti- 
mated to be valued at about $15,000,000. Compared with the 
output in 1934 this was an increase of 12 percent in volume. Five 
species or groups of species accounted for 66 percent of the total 
amount frozen. In the order of their importance they were: Cod, 
haddock (including haddock fillets), hake, and pollock, which ac- 
counted for 27 percent of the total; salmon, 13 percent; whiting, 10 
percent; and halibut and mackerel, 8 percent each. Other products 
frozen in considerable quantities during the year were shellfish, sea 
herring, and squid.
