A review of the Gulf of Mexico red snap- per fishery. By James S. Carpenter. August 1965, iv + 35 pp., 26 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT The developments of the fishery (fourth most valuable fishery in the Gulf) are shown by the following comparisons : Vessels. — From a relatively small fleet of sail- driven schooners with live-wells for keeping fish to numerous diesel powered boats using ice for pre- serving the catch. Fishing grounds. — From areas lying close to the mainland (inside 40 fathoms) off Florida and the "Middle Grounds" southeast of Pensacola to the "Western Grounds" off Texas and the Campeche Banks off Mexico. Gear, equipment, and fishing methods. — From cot- ton handlines using the hand over hand technique to stainless steel lines with reels and improved ter- minal gear. From dead-reckoning and sounding techniques for navigation and locating fishable bottoms to modern electronic equipment, complete and accurate charts, and celestial navigation. From the generally ineffective cod gill nets, longlines, hoop nets, and fish traps for catching snapper to to highly successful modified otter trawls. Handling and marketing. — From unsatisfactory fish handling techniques, resulting in poor quality fish, to greatly improved methods. From almost ex- clusive use of railroads for shipping fish iced in barrels to the predominant use of trucks for ship- ping boxes of iced fish. Production. — From good catches made per boat by the relatively small snapper fleet, producing mod- erate total landings, to decreased catches per boat for a much increased fleet, making greater total pro- duction. 214.

ABSTRACT Trends, developments, and statistical data are presented on important aspects of Japan's world- wide fisheries. Included are discussions of the prin- cipal types of fish and other aquatic products landed by the Japanese, areas in which species are caught, size and composition of the fishing fleet, fishermen's organizations, marketing methods, the main uses to which fishery products are put, trends in inter- national trade, and the structure of the Japanese fishing industry. Information is also presented on Government support to the fisheries and on inter- national fishery agreements to which Japan is a party. 234. The fisheries of Chile. By Sidney Shapiro. November 1965, iii + 15 pp., 7 figs., 4 tables. ABSTRACT Trends and developments in the Chilean fisheries are discussed, with special emphasis given to the expanding fish reduction industry. Within a few years Chile has become one of the world's largest producers and exporters of fish meal and oil. In- formation is also presented on other exportable products, mainly shrimp and plated lobster (lang- ostino), and on segments of the industry that pro- duce for domestic consumption. 235. The fisheries of Norway. By Sidney Shapiro. November 1965, iii + 19 pp., 9 figs., 5 tables. ABSTRACT This report presents trends and developments in the Norwegian fisheries, the largest in Europe, ex- cluding those of the U.S.S.R. Since domestic con- sumption uses only about one-eighth of fishery land- ings, the Norwegian fishing industry is dependent on maintaining a large export trade. The industry has encountered difficulties because of declining landings of cod and winter herring and because of competition in foreign markets. The Norwegian Government has committed itself to a policy of sup- porting fishermen's incomes so that they are on a level with the general wage level of the country. Support to the industry consists of subsidies, loans, and programs to modernize vessels, processing plants, and other facilities. Data Report 8. Southeastern Alaska sea surface tempera- tures, 1959-63. By Richard S. Williamson. April 1965, 41 pp. on 2 microfiche. ABSTRACT This report presents daily sea surface tempera- tures from nine observation points on the inside waters of Southeastern Alaska for the years 1959- 63. The area covered is from northern Lynn Canal to Dixon Entrance. 9. Oceanographic observations, 1962, east coast of the United States. By Joseph Chase. June 1965, 181 pp. on 3 microfiche. ABSTRACT Daily water temperature and salinity observa- tions for 1962 from 17 locations along the Atlantic seaboard are tabulated, plotted, and discussed. Fishery Industrial Research Vol. 2, No. 4-. Technological investigations of pond-reared fish. 2 — Extension of the shelf life of buffalofish products through use of anti- oxidants. By R. A. Greig. May 1965, pp. 1-4, 4 figs. ABSTRACT The effectiveness of antioxidants in delaying the onset of rancidity in smoked buffalofish "ribs" and in a reconstituted buffalofish product was studied. Smoked buffalofish ribs were treated with the anti- oxidant propyl gallate and stored at 33° to 36° and -5° to -1° F. The reconstituted product was treated with either the antioxidant nordihydroguairetic acid or Tenox 2 (a commercial mixture of antiox- idants) and stored at -5° to -1° F. By use of a thiobarbituric acid test and of sensory evaluation, the two fish products and appropriate control samples were periodically examined for the development of rancidity. In general, the results indicated significant retardation of rancidity in the treated products and a corresponding increased re- frigerated shelf life. Vol. 2, No. 4. Economic aspects of the U.S. al- bacore fishing industry. By E. A. Hale and D. B. Ferrel. May 1965, pp. 5-43, 56 tables. ABSTRACT This study furnished data and other information on operating costs and on earnings of fishermen pro- ducing albacore. Vol. 2, No. 4. Frozen king crab (Paralithodes camtschatica)' meat: Effect of processing conditions on fluids freed upon thawing. By Jeff Collins and Russel L. Brown. May 1965, pp. 45-53, 5 figs., 8 tables. ABSTRACT A study was made of a number of stages in the production of frozen cooked king crab meat. The amount of fluids freed upon thawing (FFT) was definitely related to the types of meat packed and the amount of water in the pack as affected by cooling in water and addition of flood water. Other production variables studied had little or no effect on FFT. Vol. 2, No. 4. Thiaminase activity in fish: An improved assay method. By R. H. Gnaedinger. May 1965, pp. 55-59, 2 figs. ABSTRACT An improved thiochrome procedure for deter- mining the thiaminase activity of whole fish is de- scribed. Results are presented showing the appli- cability of the method to various species of fish and to a mink diet. The method is quite sensitive. Vol. 2. No. 4. Drip formation in fish. 3 — Com- position of drip from defrosted Pacific cod fillets. By David Miyauchi, John Spinelli, and John A. Dassow. May 1965, pp. 61-66, 1 table. ABSTRACT This paper, the third in a series on the formation of drip in fish, reports on (1) a comparison of the composition of free drip and centrifuge drip taken from paired lots of frozen Pacific cod fillets and (2) changes in the composition of drip taken from cod fillets after varying periods of storage at 0° and 20° F. Vol. 3, No. 1. Occurrence of pomfret (Brama japoniea) in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean. By Charles R. Hitz and Robert R. French. December 1965, pp. 1-7, 5 figs., 4 tables. ABSTRACT During investigations by the Bureau of Commer- cial Fisheries in the Northeastern Pacific, pomfret were found to be widely distributed, from north of Latitude 42° North and from Longitude 175° East to the coast of North America. Pomfret were taken mainly during August and September at surface- water temperatures of 11° to 14° C. The catches by the Bureau and others suggest that pomfret may occur in certain areas of the Northeastern Pacific in commercially harvestable quantities Vol. 3, No. 1. Author index of publications and addresses — 1964 Bureau of Commercial Fish- eries Branches of Economics and Technology and the Branch of Reports, Seattle. By Helen E. Plastino and Mary S. Fukuyama.

Knipprath and James F. Mead. December 1965, pp. 23-27, 2 tables. ABSTRACT Fatty acids of the total lipids of 2 groups of rain- bow trout kept at different water temperatures were analyzed. Both muscle and organ lipids tended to incor- porate more highly unsaturated fatty acids at lower temperatures. The specific fatty acids that were incorporated, however, differed in the 2 types of tissues. Vol. 3, No. 1. Costs and earnings of tropical tuna vessels based in California. By Roger E. Green and Gordon C. Broadhead. December 1965, pp. 29-45, 15 figs., 8 tables. ABSTRACT This paper presents a method of estimating earn- ings of purse seiners, taking into account effects of vessel size and various tuna prices and rates of harvest on the economics of purse seining. Esti- mations are made of earnings to crew and net profit or loss to owners for a selected range of prices and catch rates for vessels in the size range 100 to 500 tons capacity. Optimum vessel sizes are examined from standpoints of both owner and crewman. Vol. 3, No. 1. Amino acid composition of the alewife (Alosa •pseudoharengus) . By Mary H. Thompson and Robert N. Farragut. De- cember 1965, pp. 47-53, 4 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT The amino acid and related compound of alewife samples collected from Lake Michigan was deter- mined on a seasonal basis. Significant seasonal var- iations in total available nitrogen, ninhydrin-positive compounds, and protein amino acids are discussed in relation to the reproductive cycle of the alewife. Results are reported in terms of the concentration of the various nitrogenous compounds present in the whole fish. Fishery Leaflet 577. Haul seining in the Great Lakes. By Wil- liam G. Gordon.

Sep- tember 1965, 11 pp. ABSTRACT In October 1964, the Bureau of Commercial Fish- eries held a Red-Tide Symposium at St. Petersburg Beach, Fla. Purposes were to review progress on red-tide research in recent years, to exchange views on the nature of current investigations, and to de- termine where emphasis should be placed in further studies. Abstracts of presentations by 14 partici- pating scientists are included in this report. Eleven areas of red-tide research were cited as needing at- tention in continuing studies. 522. Pelagic fur seal investigations, 1964. By Clifford H. Fiscus and Hiroshi Kajimura. No- vember 1965, 47 pp., 4 figs., 8 app. A figs., 4 app. D figs., 8 tables, 17 app. A tables, 1 app. B table, 1 app. C table. ABSTRACT The seventh year of pelagic research on the fur seal (Callorhinus ur sinus) , under the terms of the Interim Convention of North Pacific Fur Seals was carried out off California, Oregon, and Washington from 7 April to 1 June, and in the Bering Sea from 4 July to 8 September 1964. Seals collected off Cal- ifornia totaled 305; off Oregon, 10; off Washington, 28; and in the Bering Sea, 533. Fewer seals were seen off California in April and May 1964 than dur- ing similar research in January to March in 1958, 1959, and 1961; young females formed a larger pro- portion of the collections in 1964 (21-30 percent) than in previous years (10, 9, and 15 percent) ; 76 percent of the total males taken in all 4 years off California were collected in 1964. Summer distri- bution of seals in the Bering Sea was similar to that in 1962 and 1963. Females, predominantly mature, made up 91 percent of the Bering Sea collections. The percentage of tagged seals in pelagic samples increased progressively from 0.9 in 1958 to 4.9 in 1964. A seal tagged by the U.S.S.R. and recovered by a U.S. vessel was collected on 28 August about 60 miles northeast of St. Paul Island. The preg- nancy rate (76.4 percent) was lower than in pre- vious years because samples were taken off Califor- nia during a period when a higher proportion of nulliparous and nonpregnant females were present. Gooseneck barnacles (Lepas sp.) and algae (Ec- tocarpus sp.) growing on the guard hairs of seals were more common in the spring of 1964 than in winter collections of other years. Thirty-three food species were identified in 876 stomachs in 1964. Merluccius produetus was the major food off Cal- ifornia, Oregon, and Washington. Squids, Clwpea harengus pallasi, Theragra chalcogrammus, Bathyl- agidae, and Mallotus villosus were the leading foods in the Bering Sea. 523. Stream catalog of Southeastern Alaska Regulatory Districts Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8. Ed- ited by Carl Rosier, Norm Johnston, and Rus- sel F. Orrell. August 1965, iii + 443 pp., 80 figs. ABSTRACT Information about part of Southeastern Alaska salmon streams is cataloged from the voluminous records of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; the Alaska Salmon Industry; the Fisheries Research Institute of the University of Washing- ton; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries; and other agencies. Stream descriptions, maps, and historical records of salmon escapement data are compiled for 130 salmon streams in Southeastern Alaska Regulatory Districts Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8. Each stream is lo- cated geographically by latitude and longitude and by orientation to prominent landmasses. A stan- dard numbering system, number designations for- merly in use, and common names of each stream are listed. Physical descriptions are presented for the intertidal zone and the upstream area of each stream. Available records of weather, water tem- peratures, and information useful to ground and aerial stream surveyors are presented in brief form. The species of salmon utilizing the spawning grounds and estimates of the escapements each year for many years are given. 524. Stream catalog of Southeastern Alaska Regulatory District No. 9.
