wholesale and landed values as a measure of the extent of value-added processing<br />

carried out, it can be seen that herring processing (mainly roe herring) contributed to the<br />

highest increase in value, followed by salmon and groundfish processing.<br />

While a detailed review of the economic state of the B.C. fish processing industry is not<br />

available, an unaudited survey of four of the largest fish processors in the province<br />

provides an indication of the overall economic well-being of the industry. The survey was<br />

conducted by Price Waterhouse on behalf of the Fisheries Council of British Columbia,<br />

and included the following companies:<br />

● British Columbia Packers Limited<br />

● J.S. McMillan Fisheries Ltd.<br />

● Canadian Fishing Company<br />

● Ocean Fisheries Ltd.<br />
