210 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



EXPORT TRADE OF SAN FRANCISCO. 



San Francisco maintains a large export trade in fishery products. 

 Canned salmon constitutes the great bulk of the shipments, but cured 

 codfish, salt salmon, oysters, shrimp, and other products are of consid- 

 erable importance. The following table, based on the custom-house 

 records, shows in detail the extent of the exportations in the years 

 1890, 1891, and 1892. The items for which it is possible to present 

 separate figures are cured codfish, other cured fish, canned salmon, 

 pickled salmon, other (tanned fish, oysters, and other shellfish. The 

 "other cured fish" consist chiefly of dried squid, shipped by the Chinese 

 to Hongkong and the Sandwich Islands. The "other shellfish" are 

 chiefly dried shrimp, with a few dried abalone, shipped by the Chinese 

 to Hongkong, the Sandwich Islands, and other i)orts.
