SUPPLIED TITLE OF TAPE(S): Mac McLean RECORDED: White Rock (B.C.), 1976-03-08 SUMMARY: Mac McLean started to work for Canadian Fish Co. in 1928 for 2 years. Then went to work for California Packing Co. where Richie Nelson was superintendent. It was located on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Went to the Albion Plant situated in Ucluelet at Barkley Sound. Spent several seasons there, then went to Canadian Packing Co. (a reduction plant) and stayed there for 5 years. Explains the process of reduction. Built a fish reduction plant for B.C. Packers at Namu in 1936. In 1937, built a reduction plant at the Imperial Cannery. The first reduction plants in B.C. were what you call the old hydraulic type of plant that reduced dog fish; there was one on Pender Island. The continuous reduction plant didn't come to B.C. until 1927. These reduction plants were seasonal. In 1929 there were 32 reduction plants on the west coast. By 1931 they were all gone. From 1930-1935 there was very little profit made from the reduction plants. It started to improve after 1935, and from then on there were good or reasonable profits made. Discusses a population of pilchards that got trapped at one of the northern inlets. So instead of processing herring that year they did pilchards which was much more profitable. Did up to 10-15 thousand tons of pilchards that year. Explains the technique of fishermen finding fish with piano wire. At the Namu reduction plant they had electricity but didn't use electrical driven motors. For power, the cannery used a steam engine to a line shaft and then wire belts off of a line shaft to each individual machine. Plants were rated based on the number of tons you could put through in an hour. Namu was a 5 ton an hour plant, which by today's standard is very small. The Imperial Plant used to have 50 tons an hour. They used to catch and reduce about one quarter of a million tons of herring a year. Discusses fish prices. Speaks on canning herring during the war years. Japanese herring saltery on the Gulf Islands. Describes and explains trolling.
