Control, regulate and establish, by order, the proportion or percentage of sardines, pilchards, herring or other species of fish other than salmon, to be used for reduction purposes or the manufacture of fish flour, fish meal, fish scrap, fertilizer or oil, and may further, through such order, specifically name or prescribe the particular species of fish which may be used for reduction purposes, food for animals or other purposes.
