The over-all index of edible fish and shellfish (fresh, frozen, and canned) in August 1955 was percent of the 1947-49 average (see table)-- percent higher than in July, but only percent above August Higher ex-vessel prices for large drawn haddock at Boston and wholesale prices for West Coast hsdibut and salmon at New York caused a sharp rise (36. 7 percent) in the drawn, dressed, or whole finfish subgroup index from July to August. This increase was due primarily to higher prices paid for large haddock at Boston as a result of a hurricane. The August 1955 prices for white- fish and lake trout also rose substantially. Compared with August 1954, prices were higher (1. 7 percent) this August for all the varieties used in this subgroup in- dividually and as a subgroup.
