Salmon were canned at 31 plants in Washington, 13 in Oregon, 1 in California, 

 and about 115 (operated by 91 firms) in Alaska. 



Canned salmon prices during 1950 were higher than prevailing prices for 1949 

 (see tabls 3), Without exception, there was an increase in the average price per 

 standard case for each species with the highest increases for pink and silver or 

 coho salmon. The 1950 average price for all salmon species canned in the U. 3. 

 and Alaska was $25.40, some $6.78 above the 1949 average price per standard case.
