In the search for new or little appreciated sources of palatable foods to meet the shortage that the war has brought to the entire civilized world, some consideration has already been given to fish. From a physiologic or nutritional standpoint, this type of animal food commends itself on account of its comparative richness in precisely those nutrients—proteins and fats—which at present command the highest prices. The fact that no special feeding or nurture is required to produce the common fish of our markets puts them into striking contrast, from an economic standpoint, to the various types of meat that are obtained as the result of the prolonged feeding of animals originally valued at a liberal price, through a period of growth and the process of finishing for the market. The cod, the mackerel and the shad, for example, require no management comparable to the methods of animal production in farm practice. The essential features of expense lie in the capture and marketing of the food.

在寻找新的或鲜为人知的可口食品来源来解决战争给整个文明世界带来的短缺时，已经对鱼类给予了一些考虑。从生理或营养的角度来看，这类动物性食品因其在那些目前价格最高的营养素（蛋白质和脂肪）中的相对丰富性而受到称赞。从经济的角度来看，不需要特殊的喂养或培育就可以生产我们市场上的普通鱼，这使它们与原本被长期珍视价值的动物长期喂养而获得的各种肉类形成了鲜明的对比。经过一段时期的增长和市场整理过程的自由价格。例如，鳕鱼，鲭鱼和the鱼，不需要像农场实践中的动物生产方法那样的管理。费用的基本特征在于食物的捕获和销售。
