There was no single factor responsible for the decline in per-capita consumption during 1966. The higher prices accompanying lower availability of canned tuna and pink salmon early in 1966 probably contributed to the de- cline. The effect of the change in fasting re- quirements of the Roman Catholic Church is under study. (Branch of Current Economic Analysis, BCF.) December 1966 Wholesale Prices and Indexes for Edibles Wholesale prices for edible fishery prod- ucts (fresh, frozen, and canned) were up slightly in December 1966. At percent of the 1957-59 average, the index rose percent from November to December. This was principally because of higher prices for most items in the drawn, dressed, or whole finfish subgroup. Price increases for other items, including fresh shrimp and canned tuna, were offset by lower prices for several other products. Compared with December 1965, the overall index in December 1966 was up 5 percent because of higher prices generally for most items. Seasonally higher prices in December 1966 for most items in the drawn, dressed, or whole.
