OPS Regulation
Sets 16-Cenl J
Fish Oil Ceiling
The Eastern Carolina fish oil in
dustry is now covered by OPS
Ceiling Price Regulation 6, Amend
ment 7.
The amendment establishes a
specific ceiling price ol 1Q cents
per pound for leading types of
crude fish oil, according to OPS Di
rector J. G. Clark.
Fish oils may be used in a wide
variety ot products. Of the total
United States production of 16fi
million pounds last year, 77 mill
ion were exported, princi
P?Udr JW **."4? TMitiMiie knrt
shorter#** .
In this country, by contrast, the
remaining supply is used almost en
tirely for industrial purposes. The
leading domestic use for fish oils
is in the paint and varnish indus
try, where they compete with raw
linseed oil, treated soybean oil and
others of the drying oil class.
Fish oils, previously covered by
the General Ceiling Price Regu
lation, had an earlier established
price of 18 cents per pound. This
figure was adjudged by OPS au
thorities as "clearly out of line with
the prices of competing industrial
oils and fats."
Fish cake meal, now covered by
the General Ceiling Price Regula
tion, is expected to be placed un
der a special tailored regulation
within the near future, the OPS
said.
