THIRTY-SIXTH BIENNIAL REPORT 107 



Plants with rated hourly press capacity of forty-one tons or over 

 were designated as Class III plants and their original permits were for 

 10,000 tons, with two additional grants making a total of 13,000 tons 

 for the season. In the Monterey and San Francisco districts the ton- 

 nage was granted on a monthly basis, between August and December 

 and the tonnage granted for any month and not received could be 

 received at any time up to the close of the season (February 15th). 

 Floating plants that were outside of the jurisdiction of the State on 

 August 1st were declared eligible for permits on their return, and their 

 permits were to be adjusted so as to lose whatever tonnage they may 

 have been entitled to during the time they were absent from California. 

 During the season permits were issued for 348,042 tons in the INIonterey 

 and San Francisco districts and 284,376 tons were received. At the 

 close of the season 63,666 tons of permit tonnage was canceled. 



In the southern California districts permits were issued for 137,722 

 tons and at the close of the season 84,249 tons of permit tonnage was 

 canceled. Total permit tonnage granted for the State was 485,764 

 tons and at the close of the season 147,915 tons granted were canceled. 

 This report covers operations of the shore plants only and does not 

 include sardines taken for fresh fish markets, bait, or quarter oil pack. 



Six floating plants operated off the California coast starting the 

 latter part of September and three of these ceased operations in Octo- 

 ber and the other three were in and tied up during the first part of 

 December. The floating plants operated were: American Fisher, Ciir- 

 rier, Lake Miraflores, Lansing, Manatawny and Santa Inez. It is esti- 

 mated these floating plants received 57,212 tons of sardines and pro- 

 duced 9,535 tons of meal and 2,021,810 gallons of oil. Adding the esti- 

 mated tonnage taken by the floating plants to the tonnage taken by the 

 shore plants in the State would make 585,788 tons of sardines taken off 

 the coast of California for the season.
