. Commercial fisheries review. Fisheries; Fish trade. 52 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIEW Vol. 20, No. 6 Wholesale Prices, April 1958. FRESH EAST COAST SHRIMP ON DISPLAY AT ONE OF THE, STANDS IN THE NEW YORK CITY FULTON FISH MARKET, The edible fish and shellfish (fresh, frozen, and canned) wholesale price index ( of the 1947-49 average) de- clined percent from the preceding month, but was higher by percent as compared with April 1957. The decline is a seasonal one that usually occurs in the spring because landings of fish increase with good weather and improved fishing conditions. Wholesale prices for the drawn, dressed, and whole fin- fish subgroup from March to April 1958 declined about percent due to lower prices for the fresh-water varieties and fresh drawn haddock at Boston. A decrease in the wholesale prices of these products is normal for this period of the year because the Great Lakes production im- proves and haddock catches reach a peak level in April. Increases of 5 to 6 percent in frozen dressed halibut and salmon wholesale prices failed to offset the price declines for the remaining products in this subgroup. Wholesale prices for drawn, dressed, and whole finfish in April this year were percent higher than in the same mojilh of 1957 because higher wholesale prices for frozen dressed halibut and salmon offset lower prices for fresh haddock fillets and fresh-water fish. During April 1958 the fresh processed fish and shellfish subgroup wholesale prices declined percent from the preceding month due to lower fresh haddock fillet and Table 1 - Wholesale Average Prices and Indexes for Edible Fish and Shellfish, April 1958 With Comparisons Groifl), Subgroup, and Item Specification Point of Pricing Unit Avg.
