THIRTY-SEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT 115 



as a whole, 61.5 per cent of tlie tonnag-e granted was received with 

 cancellation of 132,328 tons at the close of the season. 



The permits issued for the San Francisco and Monterej^ districts 

 were on a monthly allotment basis of 20 per cent for each of the first 

 five months of the season, and in southern California it was allotted 

 on the basis of 25 per cent for each month of the first four months of 

 the season. Anv tonnage not taken in the month for w^hich it was 

 allotted could be accumulated and taken at any time thereafter until 

 the close of the season which fell on February 15th in northern Cali- 

 fornia and March 1st in southern California. 



In February a recommendation was made by a subcommittee of 

 the National Defense Committee that the sardine season be extended 

 30 days. This report was adopted by the commission and referred to 

 the Governor who accepted the report and directed that it be adopted 

 as a necessary measure of State and National defense to enable the 

 Federal Government to be supplied with the sea food requirements of 

 the Army and Navy of the tlnited States. In the San Francisco 

 district no additional sardine fishing was done after the regular 

 closing, but in Monterey and southern California sardine fishing con- 

 tinued into March. This report does not include sardines taken for 

 fresh fish markets, bait or quarter oil pack.
