The fish inspection system of the State of Minnesota was instituted in 1932 by the Department of Agriculture, Dairy and Food. It was created as a service to fishermen to determine if their catches were sufficiently free from parasitic infestation by the tapeworm Triaenophorus robustus to allow them to pass market inspection by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. The service, which also regulates and certifies as to quality of fish, now covers all herring and tullibees produced for commerce by Minnesota fishermen.
