448 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 
ties of Portuguese and French sardines and New Zealand mullet were 
imported during the first half of 1900. The tariff in force now on 
mullet will undoubtedly prevent their importation, as they will be 
unable to pay the higher duty and compete with the cheaper grades 
of canned salmon.
