Investigation made into the stocks ana daily consumption of fish in the International Settlement have recently been very carefully checked and it is now known that accessible stocks of cold storage fish are sufficient for several months at the present rate of consumption, even if the live fresh water fish supply should be cut off.
Inspection and information obtained have elicited the fact that over 2,000 tons are stored south of the Soochow Creek while an additional quantity has recently been removed from the cold storages north of the creek. The average daily consumption from cold storage stocks is approximately five tons per day and the remainder of the daily consumption is approximately six tons of live fresh fish Any suggestion of shortage of supplies is, therefore, entirely misleading and probably made for profiteerig purposes, according to officials.
