COMPARATIVE YIELD OF VARIOUS SPECIES IN 192 3 AND PREVIOUS YEARS 



In the foregoing statistics of the products of the fisheries, a num- 

 ber of species have been shown fresh and salted as marketed by the 

 fishermen, the quantity salted varying more or less in various years. 

 In order to afford a comparison of the total catch of the more im- 

 portant species on a uniform basis, the quantities salted by the fish- 

 ermen have been converted to the equivalent of weights of fresh fish,
