Wholesale Market Report August 23, 1996 Vol.1 No.2

UNFORTUNATELY, the Canadian Wholesale market information for August was unavailable. Turbot, oysters, hard clams and mussels are new additions. Sunfish were absent form the report. Information on volumes and origins were still unreported.

In cooperation with individuals from the North Central Regional Aquaculture Center and Purdue University, we are still trying to increase the participation and improve the report's contents. Again, thank you for your patience.

Note: The Wholesale Market Report can now be accessed on Internet at the following address: http://ansc.purdue.edu/aquanic/publicat/other_pubs/mdwms.htm
