As in the last quarter of 1960, the average wholesale price of fresh marine fish remained high at $03 a picntl.
Sales of imported and local salt-dried marine fish registered a further substantial decline during the period under review. February was the first month in many years during which no. Imported salt-dried marine fish was marketed.
The drop in sules of self-dried marine fish was due partly to the high wholesale price of fresh fish, which encouraged many local fishermen to bell their catches fresh rather than
