Lake Erie Commercial Perch Processing facility needed.

[Jimdski]

Tremendous catches of Lake Erie Yellow are being landed but the old fish processing facilities were shut down with the commercial fish tugs were outlawed by the governor and legislature. Fish scaling, cutting, transportatiom, freezer storage and ice production for handling the perch for processing in Hamburg, perch filets for safe public supply. All those jobs were lost but could be returned to our economy. New facilities should be constructed to process the perch hook and line fishermen take. Quick processing is needed and trained workers will be employed. Charlies Seafood in Hamburg brought in Freezer trailers of frozen saugers that were kept all year till orders came in from restaurants. Other wise only Carnadian Pech are processed and caught are sold in the area.

New York State allows the sale of yellow perch legally taken with hook and line methods. Oneida Lake areas have several public sales operations.

Health Depart shipment. ment guidelines require transportation of fish under ice Prescence. Live wells are not accepted un;less freezing temperatures are present as in  ice fishing. Tuna taken in the Atlantic must be iced immediately upon landing in the boat, Bering sea water is considered cold enough such as halibut, cod  and crab.
