shanuhaI and SAIL EIsh

The city OF Shanghai imported last
year about 100000 yen worth Of salt
fish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
introduction of salt salmon from Prim-
erskaya (Russian littoral province),
salt cod from Kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardines from Nagasaki,
says the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod, the leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth OF
swordfish last year. This fish, which
owes it's name to its likeness to a
sword in shape as well as in it's glis,
tening, scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast wa
ters. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Nipgpo and ports on the NORTH
China coasts, and has a promising fu
ture on the Shanghai market. In fact
the Chinese are heavy consumers o
this fish, the total annual import Il
Shanghai reaching 100000 piculs.
