PROCESSING FACILITIES 
In 1973 there were about 650 fisheries plants in 
Canada. About one-half of the plants were processing fish 
and the remainder were packing plants and facilities where 
fish did not undergo a change of form (e.g., fresh to 
canned). The processing industry employed about 21,000 
people in 1973. Most of the processing plants were small; 
70 percent employed less than 50 people and only 1 percent 
employed more than 500 people.
