large quantities of fish produced by traps along the New Jersey coast.

 frozen. Here the predominant species were lake herring, lake trout, 

 and whitefish. The other sections during 1929 were relatively unim- 

 portant in the trade and froze small quantities of fish common to each 

 section. 



The freezing plants in the New England section were busiest from 

 June to November, inckisive. Those in the Pacific section during 

 August, September, and October; those in the Middle Atlantic section 

 during June and November wdth the amount frozen during the other 

 months of the year being somewhat uniform and at a fairly high level. 

 Those plants in the North Central East section were busiest during 

 June, November, and December; and those in the other sections were 

 busiest mostly during the summer or late fall.
