U. S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 



PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION DURING SEPTEMBER, 1922. 

 BOSTON FISH. 



Massachusetts' consumption of Boston fish exceeds 1^ pounds 

 per capita, more than five times the quantity used in Vermont, the 

 vState standing next as a per capita consumer of Boston fish. More- 

 over, this 1^ pounds of Massachusetts is thirty times greater than the 

 average per capita consumption of the 29 other States receiving 

 Boston fish. 



It is also evident that some States that, by reason of the heavy 

 shipments received, seem to be great consumers of Boston fish are 

 in reality relatively light users. Instances are that Vermont is found 

 to hold only eleventh place in the quantity of Boston fish received, 

 but is second in per capita consumption, whereas Rhode Island, 

 which is third in importance as a market for Boston fish, rates eighth 

 as a per capita consumer. Similarly, New Hampshire, sixth in 

 amount received, is reduced to sixteenth place as a per capita user. 



Per capita consumption of fresh and frozen fish distrihuted through Boston during 



September, 1922.
