COMMERCIAL FISHERIES OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 453 
forms more than one-half of the total. Shrimp and other shellfish 
(mainly dried shrimp, oysters, and abalone from Japan and China), 
and turtles occupy second place, while cured cod, haddock, hake, and 
pollock are third. There has been considerable falling off in the 
imports of anchovies and sardines, while imports of canned mullets 
have ceased altogether, the latter not being able to compete with the 
cheaper grades of canned salmon from the United States since the 
annexation of the islands:

EXPORTATION OF FISHERY PRODUCTS. 
Owing to the immense domestic demand the islands have exported 
but little. Occasional lots of béche-de-mer, sharks’ fins, and gold-fish 
(for ornamental purposes) have been exported in the past, but not dur- 
ing the last few years. The table below shows the exports by coun- 
tries for the calendar years 1901, 1902, and 1903. A record was kept 
at the custom-house of the exports to the mainland, and these have 
been included. Little, if any, of these exports were of domestic ori- 
gin, but consisted mainly of transshipments and goods reshipped to 
the country of- origin.
