UTILIZATION OF THE FISH WASTE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN. 71 
Since the whaling industry has undergone a large decline through 
the depletion of the number of whales, there is little probability that 
the future will see any marked increase in the production of fer- 
tilizer from whale carcasses. 
In the following table are reported results of analysis of material 
prepared from the waste from the sardine, tuna, and whale industries 
and from dog fish :
