THE WASTE PRODUCED IN THE CANNING OF SALMON. 



AMOUNTS. 



The waste produced in the process of canning salmon is variously 

 estimated to be from 25 to 50 per cent of the original or " round " 

 weight of the fish. The percentage of waste varies with the kinds of 

 salmon, being greater with small than with large fish. It probably 

 is true also that in canning the more expensive grades, which also 

 are the larger fish, greater precautions are taken to reduce the waste 

 than with the cheaper grades. In the case of the larger fish — the 

 " reds " — perhaps the portion thrown away is more nearly 25 per cent 

 than 50 per cent. Therefore, in considering the problem of prepar- 

 ing the waste for use as fertilizer and in estimating the quantities of 

 material available it must be specified what grades of fish are being 

 dealt with.
