SALTED AND SMOKED FISH INDUSTRIES 



The salted and smoked fish industries of the New England States 

 are conducted principally in Maine and Massachusetts. 



In the salted fish industry in 1928 there were 50 plants, 16 of which 

 were in Massachusetts, 33 in Maine, and 1 in Rhode Island. The 

 total production of salted fish in New^ England during 1928 amounted 

 to 23,561,768 pounds, valued at S2, 367,015. This represents a 

 decrease of 25 per cent in the production and 21 per cent in the value 

 as compared with the production and its value for 1924 when the 

 most recent compnrnhlo figures were obtained. The most important
