. California fish and game. Fisheries -- California; Game and game-birds -- California; Fishes -- California; Animal Population Groups; Pêches; Gibier; Poissons. 14 CAIJFORN'IA FISn AND OAME primarily for blendinp: with various animal feeds, and as a tonic called "Sun Shark Liver Oil" advertised as "Nature's own ; About ]028, Chester Gilkey and Bert Korf, owners of the 50-foot boat ''Two Brothers," tojjether with Tom Machado, e^juipped them- selves for harpooninji: sharks. This started as a sport and as publicity for their fishinjr-party excursions, but by 1929 the harpooning of these sharks had turned into a profitable side-line. Seven dollars a ton was paid for the sharks up to about 1930. The price then went up to $10 a ton and still later to $20 a ton, the latter price being in effect in 1938, at which time the Monterej^ Fish By-Products plant at Seaside burned to the ground. Between 1924 and 1938, the yearly average was about 25 sharks, but in one of these years approximately 100 sharks were landed. When too many sharks were brought in at one time, the Hovden Food Products Corporation at Monterey processed some of the carcasses for meal. A few sharks have been taken by this latter concern since 1938. In times past there has been a fishery for basking sharks along the Norwegian, Irish and Scottish coasts. About the middle of the Eighteenth Century, there was an extensive pursuit of this species along the New England coast and considerable quantities of the oil were produced. 'â ^te;.
