In experiments at this Station designed to find the most appropriate methods for the dehydration of fish, it was early recognized that bacteriological control would be necessary in order to ensure the safety of the final product. Many preliminary experiments were performed before a suitable method was found for commercial production. In these experiments data were obtained and are given here to illustrate the general argument, although most of the results are concerned largely with the method finally adopted.
