Mr. T. R. Cieuston, Halifax, pre- sided over the discussion. Dr. l. A. Beatty, Fisheries Re- search Board, Halifax, said tirat science had discovered no method by which tlsh could be artificially preserved without destroying the flavor. Fish frozen for a short perlod could be landed in Mont- real and sold as fresh fish wl-th- out the average housewife know"- ing the difference, Dr. Beatty said, but frosen fish continued to de- teriorate in food value after tne first few-days. Even if they were kept at s steady temperature of l0 degrees below freezing, they were not fit for food if they re- mained in cold storage for any period longer than six months. Dr. Bestty ssld s, "tanning" pro- cess set in upon the tissues of any fish subjected to lengthy cold stor- age. The coloration was due, Dr. Bestily said, t6 oxydatlon working on the natural oils of the fish end caused a renclddty which became most disagreeable. Glazing the fish —whloh meant dipping them in water and then subjecting them to a, sub-zero temperature-and wrap- ping them in cellophane wrapping did not prevent deterioration, he said. The most serious competition to Eastern Canadian fishermen comes from. the Bosfqn, Gloucester, and? Maine fishermen -.ney_ v nsvrlf’: so '* advantage over the Csnsdl-an tall- ermsn of being nearer to n hlg fresh flshmsrket but they do not have the Canadian fiahermanb ad- vantage of being only s few hours from his harbours. The Norweg- ians and Icelanders, Dr. Beatly said, also are near their landrng grounds but they are much fur- lher away from a. good market than are the Canadian fishermen. Dr. Beatty closed by saying he would not wish the meeting to believe there was no hope for greatly improved sanitation meth- ods. There wos always hope that science would eventually find some way of preserving fresh fish in its original condition for sev- eral weeks. That day, however, had not yet arrived, Dr. Beatly said. Mr. Albert Griffin. fish packer of Montague, said fish could not be shipped from the Province so they would arrive in good condi- tlon in Montreal, Ottawa, or Tor- onto. He did not think most of the persons present were interested m the fresh fish industry and he wished to have the meeting devote more time to the canned lobster business. Never Enough Proteins Dr. Douglas Cooper, director of fisheries for Nova Scotlu. said thereahad never been a sufficient production of protein foods at any llmc in the world's history. Not even in Canada. one of the bcsl- fed nations in the world, was lhere s. sufficient consumption _of pro- tein foods. The problem was to gel. fish. s. relatively cheap protein food, into the hands of the people It was, therefore, of no use, Dr. Cooper ssld, to spend time discuss- lng fishery problems of the post.
