 creases were recorded by 13 groups and decreases by 11. Cisco 

 showed a decline from 13,195,023 pounds in 1924 to 5.581,273 pounds 

 in 1925, a decrease of 57.7 per cent. This was the result of the unusu-

 also lake fish, showed an increase from 3,200,624 pounds in 1924 to 

 5,233,655 pounds in 1925, or 63.5 per cent. Among the salt-water 

 groups, salmon and halibut, while ranking first and second in 

 amounts frozen, registered decreases of 15.1 and 17.8 per cent, re- 

 spectively. Mackerel show T ed an increase of 64 per cent. The salt- 

 water group that showed the greatest relative increase was the scup, 

 which increased from 332,103 pounds in 1924 to 899,528 pounds in
