As compared with 1920, there was a general increase in production 

 of nearly 200,000,000. Species handled m larger numbers were white- 

 fish, cisco, alewife, chum salmon, blackspotted trout, brook trout, 

 carp, pike perch, yellow perch, striped bass, and haddock, while the 

 output of catfish, buffalofish, shad, various Pacific salmons, lake trout, 

 cod, and pollock was less.
