From the low of 121,000 tons in 1947-48 the r-ateh went to 184,000 in 1948-49 and in 1949-50.* As a result the industry is in a much healthier condition than in the previous biennium. Although more sardines were available on the San Francisco and Monterey fishing grounds there were not enough fish to meet the needs of the processors in these two ports. As a result the truck- ing of sardines from Southern California, started in l!)46-47, was con- tinued through 1949-50. To meet this demand unloading facilities were improved at the ports of Santa Barbara and Hueneme. Most of the sardines trucked to IMonterey and San Francisco were caught around the northern Channel Islands and off the mainland north of Santa Monica Figure 0.

During 1948-49 about 80 percent of the sardines landed were used for canning but in 1949-50 the proportion canned dropped to a third of the total received. This was due to a strengthening in the price of meal and oil and a major drop in the price of canned sardines. As an experiment in regulation of the sardine fishery the Sardine Industry Advisory Committee set up a temporary program of control for the 1948-49 season which was carried out by the Division of Fish and Game. Since this did not meet the expectations of the industry and proved very difficult to administer, the regulations were dropped at the * totals include poundages used for bait and consumjJtion in a fresh state.
