Extent of Fisheries of New Exgland States, Various Years, 18S0 to 1019- 



Continued. 



BY-PRODUCTS. 



Only a few firms are engaged solely in the preparation of by- 

 products in the New England States and several of these are the sole 

 manufacturers of a particular product within the State or section, the 



freater part of the material l)eing prepared incidental to other 

 ranches of the fishery trade. It is therefore impracticable to present 

 i\ detailed table of this important industry for individual States. In 

 the following table the quantity and value of the products are shown 

 as completely as po.ssible without disclosing ])rivate enterprise. 



In view of the increased demand for protein feed for hogs, cattle, 

 and poultry, it is suggested that New England producers of scrap and 

 pomace give consideration to the manufactureof fish waste and waste 

 fish into fish meal for feeding purposes.
