KA CHATKA PLANS 1949 INIUSTRIAL AND
AGRICULTURAL EXPANSION
FISH AND TI) MOST IMPORTANT INLUSTRIES -- Tikhookeanskaya Zvezda, No 11, 11 Jan 49
More than 7 million hectares of Kamchatka Oblast, Tabarove'r Kray, are
covered wtth timber, of which the i.ost valuable from as industrial point of
vies is that located in the Kamchatka River basin.
Almost three fourths of all the fish caught deify in Khabarovsk Hray
are caught in Kamchatka. The oblast has the largest fish combine and
canning plants in the Far East. The Kamchatka ftsb industry is served by
a large fishing fleet, many combines, oangc+riee, notarized fishing stations
and other enterprises. The Pacific Ocean-Institute of Fish Nooncey and
Ocsmnograpy is carrying out valuable scientific research in the Oblast.
The fish catch on Kamchatka in 1948 increased 2} times over 1940 in. tc the
extensive mechanization in Loth catching and processing. The Oblast's
fisheries in 1948 were equipped with 33 fish pumps, 106 elevators, nearly
10,001 running meters of hydraulic conveyor belt,68 band conveyors with
a ieng of 3,500 meters, many hoists, and other types of machinery. Such
-largo-sank canning and refrigeration has developed that, in one hour's time,
the canneries of the Oblast are able to produce no less than 500,000 cans of
fish. Production of medicinal oils, fish meal and fertilizer has also began.
In 1948, the Bol'sheretsk, Anadyr, and Shubertovskiy Fish Combines
caught many thousand pud of fish above the plan. The Kolkhoz imeni Vodop'yanov,
Psnshinr-kiy Rayon, fulfilled the 1948 Plan almost 7 months ahead of schedule.
Cote iderable success in 194P. %us also achieved by, the Fish Combine irni
Mi.koyan, E*raginskiy Fish Combine and aikftlDYk Fish Combine.
Tha whale and crab fisherieu jr Kamchatka are growing rapidly and new
ships are being added to the whaling rlotilla. More than one third of all
the fur proeuree in Khabarovsk r ay comes from !amwbetks.
