Abstract
Abstract The annual importation of fish into Puerto Rico amounts to about 36 million pounds as compared to a local production of only 3 million pounds. The chief impediments to a greater production and consumption of fish from Puerto Rican waters are the inadequate boats and gear of the fishermen and the faulty systems of handling and distribution. Better facilities for refrigeration are particularly needed. The Insular and Federal Governments are now cooperating in a program for the development of the fisheries of Puerto Rico in both the technological and economic aspects. Benefits to be expected from an expansion of the Puerto Rican fisheries include increased local trade and employment, not to mention the safeguard provided against a shortage of food under conditions of war.
