TOTAL VALUE OF FISH AND Bv PRODUC.
THE ESTDMATEQ MARKETED VALUE OF FUSH, FUSH PROWCTS, AND MAMMALS CAUGHT AND LANDED IN BRlTtsH &QJMBIA IN 2957 TOTALLED 63-l MULLnON WL.LARS, A DECREASE OF 4,4 MILLION WLLARS FROM THE TOTAL REPORTED IN 1956. THE LANDED VALUE Of” F’IISH AND MAMMALS IN 1957 WA!3 30e8 MILLION DOLLARS AS Cot+ PARED WITH 36.6 MltLLiON WLLARS BN 1956.
THESE VALUES w NOT INCLUDE THE VALUE OF 2,480,900 POUNDS OF HALIBUT CAUGHT BV B.C, FISHER- MEN AND LANDEO IN ALASKA AND WASHINGTON STATE PORTS, THE MARKETED VALUE OF TUNA CANNED WB,C. cmm~- IES PROM FROZEN TUNA IMWRTED FROM JAPAN, OR THE VALUE OF CANNEO SALMON PRODUCED FROM FROZEN SALMON
CAUGHT IN 1956.
IN DETERMINING THE MARKETED VALUE OF pRODUCTUON3 STOCKS OF CANNED AND FROZEN FISH ON HAND AT THE END OF THE YEAR ARE VALUED AT PRICES PREVASLONG AT THAT TiMEo
THE DECREASE tN THE TOTAL VALUE OF LANDINGS AND MARKETING CAN BE ATTRIBUTED IN THE MAIN TO SEVERAL FACTORS.
FIRST - THE HERRING CATCH DROPPED SHARPLY AS COMPANIES AND FISHERMEN FAILED TO AQREE ON PRICES AND AFTER OCTOBER 3.5~~ ONLY ABOUT 15 - 20% OF THE HERRING FLEET PARTICIPATED IN THE FISHERY.
SECOND - LANDED AND MARKETED PRICES FOR HALIBUT’ WERE MOWN SHARPLY FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
fHlRD w SALMON LANDINGS WERE UP FROM 1956 BUT LOWER UNIT PRICES FOR SOME SPECIES COUPLED WITH A RtiDUCED CATCH OF THE MORE VA,LuABLE SOCKEYE RESULTED IN TOTAL SALMON RETURNS T0 FISHERMEN DECLUNONG FROM $2133560000 TO $18,885,Q00,
1956. IN 195’7, 77.6 PER CENT OF ‘THE SALMN CAUGHT WA!5 CANNED As COMPARED WITH 69,3% RN
THIS INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF SALMON THAT WAS CANNED WAS A CONTRIBUTING FAC- TOR TO THE INCREASE IN THE TQTAL MARKETED VALUE OF SALM0N WHICH INCREASED FROM &,4 MiLLtON T0 4.9 MILLION DOLLARS.,
m- bND!NG OF OTHER SPECIES OF FISH SUCH AS OYSTERS CRABS, AND FISH FOR MINKPEED WHICH REACHED RECORD LEVELS IN 1956 DROPPED SHARPLY IN 1957.
FII=W m GX~NTERACT~NG THE ABOVE TRENDS WAS THE INCREASES IN THE LANOINGS AND MARKETIP~GS OF GREY COD, SHRIMP, AND BLACK CODo
WRING THE YEAR THERE WERE FOUR D~SRUP~~~ONS 9~ FISHING ACTIVITY AS FOLLOWS:
THE LARGER HALIBUT BOATS WERE DELAYED !N PORT BY A WEEK AFTER THE OPENING OF THE SEASON ON M4V 1ST PENDING A SETTLEMENT OF A WORK CONTRACT BETWEEN CREW MEN AND BOAT OPERATORS o
THE SALMON NET FISHERY WA; TIED-UP ON TWO OCCASIONS PENDING SETTLEMENT OF PRICES BETWEEN FISHERMEN AND 0PERAT’ORS.o FROM OCTOBER 6fH TO OCTOBER 14~~.
THESE TIE-UPS WERE EROM JUNE 22~0 TO ‘JULY 13~~ AND
THE MAIN HERRING FLEET REMAINED RN PORT AFTER OCTOBER &STH BECAUSE OF FAILURE To AGREE ON A PRICE OF HERRING FOR REWCFUON*
THE-MARKETED VALUE OF SALMON IN 1957 TOTALLED 44,9 MILLION WLLARS AS COMPARED WITH SLIOHTL~ mRE THAN a.3 MlLLlON DOLLARS IN 1956.
