Tuna Pack May Set New High
Packers in Southern California and San Diego foresee a record tuna pack of 8,500,000 cases in 1950. Even with a six week production dip, annual output should top the 7,290,000-case 1849 record. It would mark a sixth consecutive year of records, aided by a larger clipper fleet and higher raw fish imports.
