120 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION
REPORT OF SARDINE CANNING AND REDUCTION PLANTS,
SEASON 1939-1940
Sardine fishing started in the Monterey district on the night of
September 12 and the first deliveries were made on the 13th. In the
San Francisco district fishing did not start until the night of October
9 and deliveries made on the morning of the 10th were very heavy,
for a number of the fishing boats did not unload their catches until
the following day. In the San Pedro district deliveries were made on
November 1 and in the San Diego district only ninety-five tons of
sardines were delivered during the season.
Sardines are used for two main purposes, that is canning and
manufacture of oil and meal by a reduction process. To engage in
the manufacture of oil and meal by a reduction process, it is necessary
to obtain a permit from the Commission. Sardines may be received
for canning purposes without limit on the tonnage provided that not
more than 32| per cent of the amount received for canning may be
used by a reduction process. This overage is provided by law to permit
the discard of soft, broken, and off-size fish which are not fit to pack.
There has been no change in the law since the 1938-39 season, and the
method of determining the percentage of sardines received for canning
that may be used for reduction purposes has not changed from that
shown in Circular 13.^
There was an increase in the sardine pack, principally in the San
Francisco and Monterej^ districts and there would have been an increase
in the San Pedro district if sardines had been available and of a size
and condition fit for canning.
For canning purposes, 16,552 tons were received in the San
Francisco district, 130,518 tons in the Monterey district, 73,634 tons
in the San Pedro district and 4 tons in the San Diego district — a total
of 225,357 tons as compared with 187,857 tons received for canning
purposes during the previous season.
Permits to receive and use sardines by a reduction process were
issued in three classifications, based on the press capacity. Plants with
an liourly capacity of one to twenty tons were designated as Class I
plants of which the fifty-one in the State were given 5,000 ton permits
for the season. The plants with an hourly capacity of twenty-one to
forty tons were designated as Class II plants and the twelve plants
in this classification were given permits for 7,500 tons for the season.
The six plants with an hourly capacity of forty-one tons or more were
designated as Class III plants and given permits for 10,000 tons for
the season.
The permits for the San Francisco and Monterey districts were
issued on a monthly allotment basis, starting with ten per cent of
the permit in August, fifteen per cent in September, twenty per
1 Circular 13, "Statistical Report of Fresh and Canned Fishery Products, Year
1938. Sardine Canning and Reduction Plants Report Season 1938-1939."
THIRTY-SIXTH BIENNIAL REPORT 121
cent in October, twenty-five per cent in November, and thirty per
cent in December. All tonnage not received during the month for
which it was allotted could be accumulated and taken any time up to
the close of the season February 15.
No additional grants to receive sardines under permit were made
after the season opened.
Permits were issued for 402,375 tons, but only 303,426 tons were
received, leaving an unused permit tonnage of 99,005 tons. By referring
to the tables following, it will be noted that most of the canceled permit
tonnage was in the San Pedro and San Diego districts, where there
was a scarcity of sardines, and a great demand for sardines for canning
purposes. The oil production in southern California was very low and
only such fish as were unfit for canning were used by a reduction
process.
This report does not include sardines taken for fresh fish markets,
bait, or quarter oil pack.
No floating plants were operated oif the California coast during
the season.
