Figure 6. i M" iiing- Pismo clams on beach at S.ui Quintin, Lower California. Note five gallon container in background.âPhotoc/raph by J. A. Aplia. by boat. Here they were canned by a modification of the method used for tuna. The initial experiments proving successful, more plants under- took clam canning, and the amounts imported increased rapidly. In 1945, 6, 677, 000 pounds of clam meats with a value of $1, 430, 000 were imported from Lower California. Although most of this quantity is still being transported by boat some refrigerated trucks are now used for the shorter hauls. Both methods of transportation have their drawbacks. Carrying the cans of clam meats out through the surf to a vessel anchored off shore is difficult and dangerous and the places where there are dock facilities are quite limited. On the other hand, clams can only be trucked from the nearer sources as the roads are too rough to justify long hauls and are entirely impassable in wet weather. ^Submitted for publication October, 194G.
