COmERCIAL FiaSERIES REVIEW 



71 



Conmittee in its first meeting with. Office of Price Stabilization officials, accord- 

 ing to a March 20 announcement by OPS. 



Committee spokesmen emphasized that the industry is seasonal in nature and its 

 regulation should be issued before the new fishing season starts in April. 



The Industry' s products mostly go into the commercial manufacture of feed used 



by farmers. 



Industry members said the proposed regulation should take into account price 

 relationships with competing products, such as meat scraps, and the relationship 

 of prices within the industry between the east and wast coasts.

FROZEI'i lUI^A FOR CANNING NOT " Faaai FISft " The question was presented to the 

 Office of Price Stabilization as to whether or not tuna and tuna-like fish that 

 have been frozen for canning could be considered "fresh fish" pursuant to Section 

 14 (s) (8) of the General Ceiling Price Regulation issued January 26, I95I. An 

 interpretation issued by that agency on liiarch 2 states that tuna and tuna-like 

 fish that nave been frozen are not considered "fresh fish" and, therefore, come 

 under the general freeze on prices which took place with the issuance of the Gen- 

 eral Ceiling Price Regulation.
