Shortage

frozen
fish
and
shellfish
In
the
t
nii.ed
States
are
at
a
record
level
but
shortages
are
expected
in
the
niv
-distant
future
because
of
the
war.
J
P.
Manlon,
assistant
Canadian
trade
commissioner
at
New
York
reported
to
the
trade
and
t-ommerce
department.
By
December
there
was
nearly
120.000.0CO
pounds
In
storage,
compared
with
the
previous
record
of
iu.st
over
98,000,000
pounds
in
Dec
ember
last
year.
The
large
amount
of
fish
at
present
in
cold
storage
would
normally
give
rise
to
considerable
apprehension
and
consequent
weakness
in
prices,"
Mr.
Manion
said.
However,
the
feeling
Is
general
that
fish
production
will
fall
off
and
that
there
will
soon
be
a
shortage,
dua
to
expansion
in
naval
services,
shipbuilding
and
other
na
tional
defence
activities
which,
on
ar.ount
of
higher
pay,
will
attract
fishermen
away
from
their
Industry.
It
may
be
added
that
the
fear
of
shortage
Is
Increased
because
ofi
lower
catches
in
Canada,
for
reasons
similar
to
those
given
above,
and
due
to
the
cutting
off
of
sources
of
supply
in
Norway,
the
Netherlands
