August 1971 ROBERT S. WOLF NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS National Marine Fisheries Service, Circulars The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and Beographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quan- tity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, develop- ment and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyses, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS CIRC series continues a series that has been in existence since 1941. The Circulars are technical publications of general interest intended to aid conservation and management. Publica- tions that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this series. Technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations appear in the Circular series. NOAA Technical Reports NMFS CIRC are available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State. They are also available in exchange for other scientific and technical publications in the ma- rine sciences. Individual copies may be obtained (unless otherwise noted) from NOAA Publications Section, Rock- ville, Md. 20852. Recent Circulars are: 315.

WOLF' National Marine Fisheries Service Exploratory Fishing and Gear Research Base Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02453 ABSTRACT The research fleet of the National Marine Fisheries Service (formerly the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad- ministration, U.S. Department of Commerce, is described in detail by individual ship. The descriptions are accompanied by photographs. A brief text covering fleet activities and modernization precedes the vessel descriptions. INTRODUCTION The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Department of Commerce, operates a research fleet to provide its scientists and technicians with mobile plat- forms on \\-hich they may more closely ap- proach, observe, sample, and study commer- cial and game fishes and associated plants and animals and to test methods for their cap- ture and utilization. As a means to the ser- vice's end. these vessels average over half of their useful life in a working capacity, with the total annual fleet eff'ort estimated at 3,500 sea days ]3er year. Including vessel crews and associated administrative shore personnel, but not scientific staff, about 225 people are in- volved in operating the fleet at an annual cost of approximately $4 million (fiscal year 1969). While this paper was being put together, the NMFS organization, program emphasis, and ' Robert S. Wolf is serving as Chief, Exploratory Fishing, UNSF/FAO Caribbean Fisheries Develop- ment Project, Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies, on leave from the National Marine Fisheries Service. funding underwent significant changes. Cor- responding modification of vessel management and utilization are not reflected in the paper. The 1969-vintage general account of the fleet and comprehensive descriptions and illustra- tions of individual vessels remain valid, how- ever. FLEET ACTIVITIES Each vessel is assigned to a parent activity or group which is responsible for nearly all phases of its operation and maintenance. The parent group may be a Center, a Biological Laboratory, an Exploratory Fishing and Gear Research Base, or an associated Field Station. Operations The vessels operate primarily to serve the resarch program needs of the parent organi- zation. The ships are generally fitted out in accordance with these needs. A few were ac- tually designed and built specifically for that group. Vessel sea time is usually divided among the various research programs of the group by its director or by a committee composed of representatives from the various programs. Often there is cooperative effort wherein a group not having control of a ves- sel may acquire sea time from a group which does; or two or more groups, each operating a vessel, may combine vessel effort on a work program of mutual interest. Crew Vessel crews are usually recruited locally from members of the fishing industry that the parent group serves. Where a particular ves- sel's mis.^ion is less of a direct fishing nature, consideration is given to ex-miiitary or other individuals having seagoing experience. The crew size of each vessel is determined gener- ally by the complexity of the vessel and by the work it does. Some small boats do not have a permanent crew but are operated by parent group shore personnel. Crews, including licensed personnel of all major NMFS vessels and some lesser vessels, are members of and are represented by some kind of labor organization. These organiza- tions include large maritime unions, fishermen's unions, and Federal Government employee unions. Some vessels have as many as three separate unions representing their crews. Crew wages and some working conditions are negotiated. Wage rates are based on pre- vailing rates in the applicable portion of the maritime industry. Working hours and other conditions are based again on prevailing prac- tices in the maritime industry. Wage rates and working conditions vary widely in the NMFS fleet, generally depending on locale and precedents in the iiertinent maritime industry of that region. Labor negotiations are conducted between representatives of NMFS management and ves- sel labor on a periodic basis, usually annually, as provided for in their basic work contract. During these negotiations, the vessel crew rep- resentatives may be supplemented or replaced by regular labor organization representatives. Management may be represented by personnel from the parent group, the appropriate Re- gional Office, and/or the Central Office (Wash- ington, D.C.) staff. There is a current trend toward combined negotiations covering a num- ber of vessels of more than one Region and guided by the Central Office staff. Vessel Classification The NMFS has found it convenient to clas- sify its ships for purposes of labor negotiation. This is accomplished by means of a horsepower- tonnage (HPT) rating which is the sum of maximum brake horsei)ower plus gi*oss ton- nage. Cla.sses are as follows: Large Ship Class A 1800 HPT and above Medium Ship Class B 1100-1799 HPT Small Ship Class C 400-1099 HPT Large Boat Class D under 400 HPT The research vessels and one large ship, Pribilof, which is operated as a supply vessel for the Pribilof Islands, are categorized in Table 1. Shore Facilities Depending upon its size and the size of its vessel, a parent group may have one or more persons emiiloyed in full-time vessel shore sup- port. The vessels are usually berthed in the near vicinity of the oj^erating group and have some warehousing or storage facilities nearby. Ojierating suiiplies are obtained through the General Services Administration, other mili- tary or civilian agencies of the Federal Gov- ernment, or private suppliers. Normal main- tenance is acconijilished at the shiji's berth by the ship's force but occasionally by contract labor. Shijiyard overhaul is usually accom- plished in commercial shipyards located within a reasonable distance of the parent group's location. FLEET MODERNIZATION In 1960, funds were appropriated for the de- sign and construction of a vessel to replace Albatross III at the Woods Hole Biological Lab- oratory. This began a period of construction and conversion which, by the end of 1968, re- sulted in nine major vessels being added to the fleet (Table 2) at a cost of about $14.5 million. Some of these ships were replacements Tabic 1.— Xatioiial Marine Fisheries Service research vessel fleet; lireakdown 1)\- retjion, name, home port, parent oper- ating group, length, and class.

An articulated crane with 13' hor- izontal reach, with a lift capability of 2 tons, is currently installed on fore- castle port side ; a second and similar crane is contemplated for future in- stallation. Since no lift capability is currently existent on the after deck, futui-e i)lanning contemjilates the pro- curement of a crawler crane with a 5-ton lift capability when funds be- come available.
