FADING FISHERIES
OF DENMARK
-x
The total value of the fish ex -
ported by Denmark during the
first six months of 1931 was $2,
719,000 as compared with $3,661,
000 during the same period of
1930, according to information
furnished the department o f
commerce. The fish were export
ed principally to Germany and
England.
The stock of fish in Danish
wraters is decreasing on account
of intensive fishing and efforts
are being made to replenish the
stock. In the meantime Danish
fishermen are endeavoring to ex -
tend fishing operations in the
North sea along the coast of Ice
land, Greenland and the Faroe
islands.
A company for financing fish
ing operations on the Greenland
fishing banks has been formed.
It is planned to station a large
ship on the banks which will
take the catch of cod and hali
but of some fifty fishing boats,
ranging in size from 44 to 55
tons apiece. On the Faroe islands
the cold storage plant of the
Isvirki company is supported by
a loan of $106,600 from the Dan
ish state. The bulk of the Faroe
catch of cod, haddock and hali
but will be sent to this plant
where it undergoes a process of
freezing in salt water at a low
temperature, It is claimed for
the method of freezing used at
this plant, that it forms an ar
mor of ice around the fish with
out freezing the meat of the fish
into a hard substance and that
this fish when thawed has an
excellent flavor. Fish treated in
this manner has been exported
to Belgium where there is now
a great demand for it.

WANT DUTY REMOVED

One of the live issues with the
halibut fishermen of Canada,
judging from unofficial reports,
1° the two cents duty paid on
halibut by Canadian fishermen
for American import. The ques
tion seems to have aroused only
mild interest among the Ameri
can halibut men and buyers and
others in Ketchikan, but the
subject, according to the Pacific
Fisherman, including the pro
posed closing of the port of
Prince Rupert against American
fishermen, is still under serious
consideration in Canada.

WHALING STATIONS TO
OPERATE AGAIN
-x
Advance in prices of produces
of the whaling industry will
make it possible for the Alaska
whaling stations to resume oper
ations next season, it was made
known at Juneau recently by
Henry Schupp, superintendent of
the Port Hobron station of the
North Pacific Whaling company.
He went to Port Hobron on the
steamer Admiral Evans recently
to make preparations for re
sumption of operations.
There have been small in
creases in prices of all products
of the industry, he said. While
they have not been large, they
were enough to justify resump
tion of operations which were
suspended during the past sea
son.
A brother of Mr. Schupp, who
has been a stockholder and di
rector of the North Pacific
Whaling company for some time
has purchased all of the com
pany’s holdings in the territory,
