A White Fish Commission was established by the Sea Fish Industry Act 1938, following the recommendation of the second report of the Sea Fish Commission. It was required to advise on matters relating to the White Fish industry and to perform certain functions such as the preparation of schemes and regulations and the maintenance of a register of producers, distributors, processors and retailers. It was suspended on the outbreak of war in 1939, and under the Sea Fish Industry Act 1951 was replaced by a White Fish Authority.
