Sardine Packing Small Business
But Maine Fishmen Do OK
By LEROY POPE
New York UPB Folks who
imagine small business can't
do all right In this age of
super finance should consider
the sardine packers.
The sardine is a tiny fish
and the sardine business is
till a family affair carried
on from father to son in small
boats carrying crews of two
to eight off the coast of Maine.
But it's doing fine, according
to the Maine Sardine council.
- The business still is in quite
small units.' More than 50
brands divide up the $25 mil
lion Maine catch alone. The
United States also has a pil
chard sardine Industry on the
California coast, but the catch
there has dwindled to less
than one million fish a year.
The Maine catch is 1.2 billion
fish, packed in 225 million
cans in tasty olive oil, mus
tard or tomato sauces.
Yankees Produce More
Portugal, Norway, France
and Japan all ship sardines to
the United States but the
Maine Yankees produce two of
every three cans sold in the
United States and you can get
Maine sardines in 93 per cent
of all the stores and restaur
ants in the country.
Pretty nifty record for an
industry that hasn't a single
large company in its ranks.
How do the Downeasters do
it? Well, according to the
sardine council, the sardine
fishermen and packers found
around 1950 that their sales
weren't gaining, although the
fish still were plentiful.
They got the state govern
ment to make a research sur
vey for them. The survey said
the chief trouble was lack of
uniform quality standards in
packing. So the packers ask
ed the Maine Legislature to
tax the industry an extra half
a million dollars a year to
pay for tighter inspection laws
at their plants. As soon as
the better inspection was put
in effect, sales began to go up
and have continued to grow.
State Promotes Sales
The sardine pack is worth
around twice as much to
Maine's economy as the more
widely known Maine lobster
- many of which really come
from Canadian waters. So the
state has done a lot to pro
mote its sales. This spring,
the council is distributing
200,000 four-color eight page
comic books called "Ricky
and Debbie in Sardineland,"
designed to get the teen-agers
and even smaller fry interest
ed in sardines for luncheon
sandwiches.
The sardine industry com
bines old-fashioned and ex
tremely modern scientific
techniques. The boats are
family affairs - but they carry
radar and sonar fish scopes
and haul the fish up by suc
tion tubes instead of heavy
nets.
Last year, a new scientific
marvel was added, the "air
bubble curtain" developed by
the U.S. Bureau of Commerc
ial Fisheries. This is a per
forated polyethylene hose,
through which air is pumped.
The bubbles rising from the
holes in the hose create an
air curtain which, for some
reason, the sardines are afraid
to swim across - making it
easy for the crew in the boat

to catch them with the suction
tube without dispersing the
huge school.
The sardines then are kept
alongside the catching boats
in fine mesh storage nets.
Carrier boats from the pack
ing plants pick them up and
scale them. At the plants,
they are cleaned and packed
by hand by women. No ma
chine has been designed that
can do this work as well as
the agile fingers of the wom
en. Maine's sardine waters
stretch along 200 miles of
coastline. This helps to keep
the canneries rather small.
