SUMMARY OF FISHERIES STATISTICS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA - 1966 -----------------------~---------------------------------
Total Value of Fish Products -------------------
For 1966, the wholesale market value of fish, whale, hair seal, and liver products amounted to 118 million dollars, compared with 84.7 million dollars in 1965.
The value of salmon products amounted to 86.6 million dollars, other species including whales slightly more than 31 million dollars, and vitamin products $25,000.
These values do not include: - the value of halibut landed by B.C. fishermen at United States ports
in Washington and Alaska, which amounted to 7,488, 300 pounds valued at$2,784,000 in 1966.
- the value of tuna imported and processed in B.C.
Among the factors influencing production and the market year were:
(1) Salmon landings of 163 million pounds compared with 90 million pounds in 1965.
(2) A canned pack of 1,819,215 cases, about double the pack of 1965.
Coho production exceeded last years record high, and with a high level of pinks, their combined wholesale value was nearly 49 million dollars.
(3) The wholesale value of B.C. halibut at 10.7 million dollars ex- ceeded 1965’s value slightly.
(4) However j herring production was only 154,000 tons and the whole- sale value of 8.3 million dollars was well down from last year’s 11 . 7 million dollars.
SALMON -------
The wholesale value of all salmon products attained a record 86.6 million dollars in 1966, compared with 52. 1 million dollars in 1965. The canned pack of 1,819,215 cases was valued at 64.1 million dollars, nearly 75% of total value.
Pink’ salmon was the most valuable species, with a plant value of 28.1 million dollars, followed by sockeye at 21. 1 miIlion dollars and coho at 20.8 million dollars.
