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. 
From statistics published by the Pacific Fisherman, January, 1914.
