Nearly 63 per- cent of those contacted in the survey mentioned salm- on when asked what kind of canned fish they served. Tuna, nearly as popular, was named by 56 percent. Sardines (13 percent) and mackerel (2 percent) fell far behind the two leading varieties. The regional pattern of preferences for canned fish was surprisingly varied. The people in areas with a high proportion of rural families had a definite preference for salmon, whereas areas with higher urban populations preferred canned tuna. An exam- ple of this was found in comparing the survey findings in the South with those in the Northeast. In the South, which is considered basically rural, salmon was preferred over tuna by a ratio of 2 to 1 (73 percent used salmon, while 36 percent used tuna). In the Northeast, an area with a large urban population, 76 percent of the consumers
