An animated map shows the fishing grounds along the coast of British Columbia and Alaska. In southern waters, halibut fishing is done by small vessels which cast lines about four miles long. Fishermen are shown preparing and casting these lines and then hauling in the catch. Once caught, the fish are cleaned and packed in ice in the ship's hold. In northern waters, fishing is done by small independently operated boats. The fishermen on these boats haul in their catch by hand and are then picked up by a "mother ship". At Prince Rupert are the large plants which process and pack the halibut for distribution to the rest of the continent. Workers are shown lifting the halibut out of a ship's hold, pack it into crates with ice and then load it into a railroad refrigerator car. The "Fish Express" carries the daily supply of halibut to consumers in Eastern Canada and the United States. <8mn 43s>Language:Silent with English intertitlesOriginal number:2141~2142Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
