A new approach for evaluating the quality of fishery products, by Robert J. Learson and Louis J. Ronsivalli. March 1969, pp. 249-259, 3 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Although organoleptic panels lack precision, they are the only instrument that, at present, can inte- grate all the factors that affect quality. Described here is a new approach to improving panel precision. Using the approach, a panel expresses quality in terms of the estimated storage time of the sample rather than in such ambiguous terms as "excellent," "very good," and "borderline." The approach ob- viates the need for arbitrary terms to describe qual- ity and assists the panelists in making his evalu- ations objectively. Statistical analysis of the re- sults obtained when a panel used the method on samples of fresh cod fillets indicates that the storage age of such samples can be estimated to within ±2.2 days with a reliability of 95 percent. Vol. 4, No. 7. Demersal fish resources: compo- sition, distribution, and commercial potential of the Continental Shelf stocks off Southeast- ern United States, by Paul Struhsaker. March 1969, pp. 261-300, 13 figs., 8 tables, Apps. A and B. ABSTRACT A 5-year study of the demersal fish resources of the Continental Shelf off Southeastern United States resulted in the occupation of 956 exploratory trawling stations in the 6- to 100-fathom depth range. The study showed that the region can be divided into five general habitat types — coastal, open-shelf, live-bottom, shelf-edge, and lower-shelf — each harboring a distinctive association of de- mersal fishes. The coastal habitat, which has a smooth, sandy- mud bottom out to depths of 8 to 10 fathoms, has well-known and abundant resources of bottomfishes. Increased use of these stocks (mostly drums and croakers) seems to depend on market development, rather than on additional exploratory fishing. The open-shelf habitat, which has a smooth sand bottom to depths of about 10 to 25 or 30 fathoms, has poor potential for a trawl fishery for food fishes. Occasional large catches of scup and filefish indi- cate, however, that these species may be abundant enough to support a small industrial fishery for bottomfish. The live-bottom habitats, which are small areas of broken relief and a rich sessile invertebrate fauna within the open-shelf habitat, have the best food- fish potential for commercial utilization. During exploratory fishing, moderate to large catches of snappers, groupers, porgies, and ecologically asso- ciated species were taken consistently with New England-type otter trawls. The best areas were off Northeastern Florida and South Carolina, but other productive areas were found along most of the Southeastern Coast. The shelf-edge habitat, which has a smooth to highly broken bottom and runs along the edge of the Continental Shelf at depths of about 30 to 60 fathoms, also has large concentrations of snappers, groupers, and porgies in certain localities. Although trawling was often impractical in the rougher por- tions of this habitat, the fishery resources of these areas can be harvested by handlines and traps. The lower-shelf habitat has a smooth mud bottom from about 60 to at least 100 fathoms; the limited explorations indicate the presence of large concen- trations of butterfish, spotted hake, and perhaps groupers in this habitat. A fishing log and chart of 50 stations where catches of commercial size were made is provided. A list of demersal fishes taken during the explora- tions is given, along with notations on their occur- rences in the trawl catches and habitat occupation. Vol. 5, No. 1. Problem of "green" frozen raw breaded shrimp, by Mary H. Thompson and Robert N. Farragut. May 1969, pp. 1-10, 7 tables. ABSTRACT A green coloration has appeared sporadically on frozen raw breaded shrimp. Reported here are the results of a study made to determine the cause of the green coloration and to find a method of avoiding it. The study indicates that the coloration was caused by airborne metallic particles and that elim- inating the particles from contact with the product would therefore solve the problem. Vol. 5, No. 1. Improved method for producing pindang, by Sofjan Iljas and Louis J. Ronsi- valli. May 1969, pp. 11-16, 1 fig. ABSTRACT Use of plastic pouches reduces processing time, makes possible continuous and automated produc- tion, and enhances the wholesomeness and keeping quality of pindang, a cooked salt fish. Vol. 5, No. 1. Irradiation of Pacific coast fish and shellfish. 7-storage life at 33°F. of irradi- ated and repacked meat of Dungeness crab, by F. M. Teeny, D. Miyauchi, and G. Pelroy. May 1969, pp. 17-24. 7 figs., 1 table. ABSTRACT Fresh Dungeness crab meat, owing to its relatively short and variable shelf life, is ordinarily restricted to sale close to its area of production. To find a basis for widening the area of sale, we determined the shelf life for Dungeness crab meat irradiated in rvholesale containers, stored 12 or 20 days at 3S°F., and subsequently repacked into retail con- tainers and again stored at 33° F. The repacked samples had adequate shelf life for marketing in retail stores. Thus, irradiation of Dungeness crab meat in wholesale containers would permit this product to be widely distributed in retail stores. Vol. 5, No. 1. Fish oils — fatty acid composition, energy values, metabolism, and vitamin con- tent, by Robert R. Kifer and David Miller. May 1969, pp. 25-37, 2 figs., 10 tables, Apps. figs. 1-3. ABSTRACT This article presents a general review of fish oils. Vol. 5, No. 2. Proximate composition of com- mercial fishes from the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, by A. Herzberg and Rachel Pas- teur. July 1969, pp. 39-65, 20 figs., 12 tables. ABSTRACT Data are needed on the proximate composition of tropical and semitropical fishes. This paper re- ports, on a year-round basis, the proportions of pro- tein, oil, ash, and water in 10 commercial species of fishes from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Southern Red Sea. All species were high in protein. The demersal fishes were low in oil, where- as the pelagic fishes were relatively high. Large changes in the concentration of oil observed in the pelagic fishes were probably related to the spawning cycle. Vol. 5, No. 2. Green algae, Chlorella, as a con- tributor to the food supply of man, by Norman W. Durrant and Carol Jolly. July 1969, pp. 67-83, 1 fig. ABSTRACT Both marine algae and fresh-water algae may help to solve the problem of world hunger. Of these two groups, the fresh-water algae show the greater promise; and of the fresh-water algae — blue green and green — the green algae show the greater promise. Accordingly, this report centers largely on green algae (Chlorella in particular) and dis- cusses both their artificial production and nutri- tional value. By a suitable manipulation of var- iables, green algae containing as much as 50 percent or more protein, on a dry-weight basis, can be man- ufactured continuously on a large scale. Vol. 5, No. 2. Explorations for calico scallop, Pecten gibbus. in the area oflf Cape Kennedy, Florida, 1960-66, by Shelby B. Drummond. July 1969, pp. 85-101, 14 figs., 1 table. ABSTRACT A bed of calico scallops 200 miles long is now known off^ the east coast of Florida but is little fished. This article maps the location of the bed and reports on the rates of catch that may be ex- pected on it. Exploratory fishing indicates that, other than during February, the supply of scallops is adequate to support a year-round fishery at the more favorable locations. Explorations also show that, at depths of from 15 to 35 fathoms, the area between Fort Pierce and the southeast shoal off Cape Kennedy is consistently the most productive. Vol. 5, No. 3. U.se of sodium tripolyphosphate to control fish shrinkage during hot-smoking, by Harold J. Barnett, Richard W. Nelson, and John A. Dassow. August 1969, pp. 103-106, 3 tables. ABSTRACT Loss of moisture in the hot-smoking (kippering) of thawed halibut, salmon, and black cod results in an economic loss as well as in a loss of quality. Because sodium tripolyphosphate effectively reduces loss of moisture in other foods, including fresh fish, it was tried with these smoked products. Use of this substance effectivelv aided the retention of moisture in halibut and salmon during smoking but was less effective in aiding the retention of moisture in black cod. Vol. 5, No. 3. Use of electron paramagnetism in research on fish lipids, by William T. Roubal. August 1969, pp. 107-115, 3 figs. ABSTRACT The products of lipid oxidation cause undesirable alterations, not only in lipids themselves, but also in the quality of associated proteins, enzymes, and other biomolecules. Fundamental studies of oxidiz- ing lipids in biochemical systems are needed if these undesirable changes are to be minimized. Measuring the paramagnetic properties of these systems has great potential for elucidating the mech- anism of the undesirable changes and thereby giving us a possible way of finding how to control them. Unfortunately, this technique of measurement is not widely understood. This paper explains the technique and gives ex- amples of how the measurement of paramagnetic properties can be applied in research related to fish lipids, particularly in the relation of free-radicals to the loss of nutritive value and in the study of antioxidant functions. Vol. 5, No. 3. Evaluation of muscle hypoxan- thine and volatile bases as potential quality indices for industrial bottomfishes from the Gulf of Mexico, by Enrique J. Guardia and Gerhard J. Haas. August 1969, pp. 117-120, 4 figs. ABSTRACT Croaker and spot are the two species found most commonly in catches of industrial bottomfishes in the Gulf of Mexico. Hypoxanthine increased lin- early in both species during the first 2 weeks that these fishes were stored in ice. This test for hy- poxanthine could thus indicate the quality of both croaker and spot and presumably that of the whole catch. Only after the fish had been stored 1 week in ice, however, did the total volatile bases increase. Consequently, this latter test could not be used as an index of freshness, although it might be used as an index of spoilage. Vol. 5, No. 3. Relative chemical composition and nutritive values of king crab, Pnralithodes camtsrhatica, and blue crab, CaUinectes sa- pidus, by Robert R. Kifer and Paul E. Bauers- feld. August 1969, pp. 121-131, 14 tables. ABSTRACT Alaska king crabs are being harvested in quantity. The question has arisen as to the potential and com- parative value of king crab meal in broiler diets. Accordingly, king crab meal and blue crab meal (an established product) were evaluated as to their chemical composition and nutritive value when fed to chicks. Growth rates obtained were about equal when (1) diets containing the various crab meals, (2) a commercial diet, (3) diets containing men- haden meal, or (4) a corn-soybean meal-methionine- supplemented diet were fed. Vol. 5, No. 4. Value of menhaden, Brevoortia tymnnus, meal as a protein supplement to cottonseed meal-corn diets for pigs, by Robert R. Kifer and Edgar P. Young. October 1969, pp. 133-142, 2 figs., 6 tables. ABSTRACT Pig diets composed primarily of cottonseed meal and corn are deficient in the amino acid lysine. This study reports on whether supplementation by men- haden meal can supply the lysine needed. A sig- nificant improvement in rate of weight gain and in utilization of feed resulted when menhaden meal was fed as a feed supplement. No fishy flavor was detected in loins of pigs fed diets containing as much as 0.73 percent fish oil supplied by the menhaden Vol. 5, No. 4. Uptake of oxygen in refrigerated radiopasteurized fish, by L. J. Ronsivalli and B. L. Tinker. October 1969, pp. 143-149, 4 figs. ABSTRACT In cans that contained haddock fillets and that were ( 1 ) hei-metically sealed at atmospheric pres- sure, (2) radiopasteurized, and (3) stored at about 0.5° C, the level of oxygen dropped from about 21 percent to about 2 percent within 30 days, at which time the percentage of oxygen was still falling. This decrease in the concentration of oxygen indi- cates that the atmospheric environment within the cans was conducive to the growth of aerobes, micro- aerophiles, facultative anaerobes, or anaerobes at various stages of oxygen depletion during the storage. Vol. 5, No. 4. Test-tank studies of shrimp-pot efficiency, by Doyne W. Kessler. October 1969, pp. 151-160, 6 figs., 2 tables. ABSTRACT How spot shrimp and dock shrimp escape from shrimp pots and how they react to each of five designs of .shrimp-pot entrances were studied. Ob- servations of pot efficiency — that is, of the number of shrimp entering and escaping each type of pot in a given time — indicate that a long conical tunnel was the most effective of the entrances tested. Vol. 5, No. 4. Distrilnition of royal-red shrimp, Hyinenopenaeus robustus, on three potential commercial grounds off the southeastern United States, by Richard B. Roe. October 1969, pp. 161-174, 8 figs. ABSTRACT The royal-red shrimp is an underused species. This paper reports on their distribution on grounds east of St. Augustine, Florida; south-southwest of the Dry Tortugas, Florida; and southeast of the Mississippi River Delta. On these grounds, the shrimp live only on soft bottom types and in water temperatures of 8° to 12° C; the densities of shrimp also varies seasonally — the shrimp move off- shore in summer and inshore in winter. Vol. 5, No. 4. Effect of varying the extraction procedure on the protein extractability of fro- zen-stored fish muscle, by Elinor M. Ravesi and Margaret L. Anderson. October 1969, pp. 175-180, 2 tables. ABSTRACT The amount of extractable protein in frozen- stored fish muscle is often used as a criterion of its textural quality. An assessment of the texture of fish muscle by an organoleptic test panel, how- ever, often shows poor correlation with the amount of protein that is extracted from the muscle. Because we hypothesized that the amount of pro- tein that can be extracted from frozen fish muscle depends, in large part, upon the technique of ex- traction used, we studied the eflfects of varying the solubility-test procedure, using one lot of frozen- stored cod muscle. Depending on the length of time that the sample was blended and the concentration of the neutral-salt extractant used, the amount of extractable protein varied between (1) values con- sidered to represent minimum extractability in fro- zen cod muscle that has undergone extensive text- ural deterioration and (2) values considered to be typical of recently frozen cod. These contradictory results indicate a need for standardizing the extraction procedure. We believe that such standardization will minimize the lack of correlation now found in the literature between the content of soluble protein and the extent that the texture of frozen fish muscle has deteriorated as evaluated organoleptically. Vol. 5, No. 5. Alaska pink shrimp, Pandahis boreal is: effects of heat treatment on color and machine peelability, by Jeff Collins and Carolyn Kelley. December 1969, pp. 181-189, 7 tables. ABSTRACT For the improvement of the quality of canned pink shrimp, particularly its color, a process is needed so that fresh shrimp, rather than aged shrimp, can be peeled by machine. In our work on this problem, the retention of color was improved during peeling if the shrimp were first given a heat pretreatment. During in-plant trials, 60- to 500-pound lots of shrimp were given various one-stage and two-stage heat treatments The precook method of preparing fresh shrimp for peeling by machine resulted in a canned product that had more color and had better texture and flavor than shrimp prepared for peeling by being held in ice or in refrigerated sea water. In some samples, gelling occurred in the liquor, and some cans had more sulfide blackening than usual, before they were machine peeled and routinely canned. Vol. 5, No. 5. Depth-time sequential analyses of the operation of two California tuna purse seines, by Roger E. Green. December 1969, pp. 191-201, 11 figs. ABSTRACT Little information is available on the depth of a pur.se seine at different times during setting, though the timing of setting and pursing is important in the development of successful fishing tactics. The depth-time relation during setting was studied for two tuna purse seines of different size (7 strips deep, 470 fathoms long; 8 strips deep, 520 fathoms long) to which depth-time recorders were attached. From data gathered during 32 sets, composite se- quence analyses and underwater net profiles were prepared for four basic stages (halfway through setting, end of setting, start of pursing, and half- way through pursing) of the setting and pursing operations. Vol. 5, No. 5. Recommendations for improving the quality of vessel-caught groundfish, by J. Perry Lane. December 1969, pp. 203-213, 9 figs. ABSTRACT Because fish start to lose their quality as soon as they are taken from the sea and because the basic causes of the loss in quality are not readily observable to the eye, fishermen need guidelines for slowing the rate at which the quality of the fish is lost. Recommended here are suggestions that will en- able fishermen to slow the rate of quality loss. These recommendations provide guidelines that are de- signed (1) to reduce the initial numbers of bacteria on newly caught fish, (2) to prevent the fish from being crushed and otherwise physically damaged, (3) to protect the fish from being contaminated by bacteria from such sources as pughs, hand con- tact, and viscera, (4) to retard the activity of bac- teria and enzymes by rapid and sustained chilling of the fish, and (5) to protect the fish from con- tamination from such sources as fuel oil and sour bilges. Putting these recommendations into use will in- crease the demand for groundfish, will make ground- fishing more profitable, and will help the U.S. groundfishing industry to meet foreign competition. 10 Vol. 5, No. 5.

ABSTRACT Pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, also called humpback salmon, are the most abundant of the Pacific salmon in Alaska. Alaska production of pink salmon has an average wholesale value of $28 million and constitutes more than half of the total North American catch. Female pink salmon carry about 2,000 eggs each and spawn in late summer or early fall. The resulting fry emerge the following spring and migrate directly to salt water. They spend 1 year at sea and return as 2-year-olds to spawn and die in their native stream. Alaskan pink salmon usually spawn only a short distance from the sea; many even spawn in intertidal streambeds. Fewer than 25 percent of the young survive from the time of spawning until the time of emergence from the gravel. Similar low survival rates prevail during the estuarine and oceanic portions of the life cycle. Pink salmon are just over 1 inch long when they enter the sea, but they grow to an average length of about 20 inches and weigh about 4 pounds as adults. Research biologists of several agencies assist fishery managers by determining the migra- tion paths and the factors that affect abundance of pink salmon. 621.

Recent advances in artificial culture of salmon and steelhead trout of the Columbia River. By Fred Cleaver. March 1969, iii + 5 pp., 4 figs., 1 table. ABSTRACT The catch of salmon and steelhead trout from fish reared in Program hatcheries increased rapidly be- ginning in 1964. By 1967 the benefits from operation of these hatcheries appeared to be well in excess of their costs. The Oregon moist pellet diet was the greatest single factor in providing an economically favorable operation. Further advances in hatchery efficiency are ex- pected in the next few years. Conservation agencies believe that the catch of hatchery-produced Colum- bia River fall chinook salmon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout can be increased substantially and that the cost per unit of production can be decreased. 624.

Relation of scale characteristics to river of origin in four stocks of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Alaska, by Richard G. Rowland. January 1969, iii + 5 pp., 5 figs., 1 table. ABSTRACT Differences in numbers of circuli and lengths of radii through the first freshwater annulus were used to test the hypothesis that the river of origin could be determined from these characteristics. .■\naly.ses indicated that males and females and dif- ferent age groups of a brood year could be combined for each river, but that comparisons between rivers should be restricted to common brood years.. Al- though average counts of circuli and average lengths of radii were different in samples from each river, the variability in these characteristics is great, and neither characteristic is clearly diagnostic for the stock in any of the rivers. 578. Hydrological conditions in Clear Lake, Texas, 1958-66, by Edward J. Pullen. Janu- ary 1969, iii + 8 pp., 7 figs., 6 tables. ABSTRACT Temperature and salinity data were collected in 1958-66, and dissolved oxygen, dissolved organic nitrogen, and total phosphorus analyses were made on samples collected in 1964-66 in Clear Lake, a small estuary that flows into upper Galveston Bay. Seasonal trends in bottom water temperature 11 were similar in the different years and were related closely to trends in air temperature. Average water temperatures were lowest (about 13° C.) in Jan- uary and February and highest (about 31° C.) in July. The rate of warming and cooling was directly related to the magnitude of the annual temperature difference between the warm and cool months. Salinity ranged from 0.1 to 23.7 p.p.t. (parts per thousand) and was related inversely to stream flow and precipitation. Variations in rainfall resulted in fluctuations in stream flow and these, in turn, were reflected by variations in salinity. Dissolved organic nitrogen ranged from 23.5 to 171.5 tig. at./l. microgram atoms per liter) and averaged 66.4 ,ig. at./l. Total phosphorus ranged from 1.7 to 26.3 /ig. at./l. and averaged 8.2 /ig. at./l. Phosphorus values increased markedly in July 1966. No correlation existed between nitrogen or phos- phorus and stream flow or rainfall. Dissolved o.xygen ranged from 3.8 to 19.3 p.p.m. (parts per million). 579. Published in 1968. 580. Maturity and spawning of skipjack tuna (Katsioronus pelamis) in the Atlantic Ocean, with comments on nematode infestation of the ovaries, by David C. Simmons. January 1969, 17 pp., 6 fig-s., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Ovaries were examined from 537 fish collected in the eastern tropical Atlantic, western tropical At- lantic, and off New York. The reported incidence of larval and juvenile K. pelamis was also reviewed. The minimum fork length of skipjack tuna at ma- turity was 435 mm. in the eastern tropical Atlantic, and 410 mm. in the western tropical Atlantic. All ovaries collected off New York were in an early stage of development. The percentage of skipjack tuna near spawning or recently spawned was greater in the western tropical Atlantic than in the eastern tropical Atlantic. Skipjack tuna spawn throughout the year in the areas studied in the tropical Atlantic. The number of eggs per spawning for fish 465 mm. to 809 mm. long was 262,000 to 1,331,000. Nematodes identified as Philometrn sp. and Spiruroidea infested the ovaries of about 90 percent of the mature skipjack tuna. Both taxa were found in the ovaries of tuna collected in all three areas. 581. Zooplankton volume off the Pacific coast, 1960, by James R. Thrailkill. March 1969, 50 pp., 13 figs., 5 tables. ABSTRACT Basic data on volumes of zooplankton are given, together with data for all plankton hauls taken on survey cruises of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations. Distribution charts show- ing relative areal zooplankton abundance by month are included. 582. The Japanese Atlantic longline fishery, 1965, and the status of the yellowfin tuna and albacore stocks, by John P. Wise and William W. Fox, Jr. April 1969, 7 pp., 2 figs., 7 tables. ABSTRACT Fishing effort reached nearly 100 million hooks in 1965, a level which is more than the yellowfin tuna stocks can support and remain commercially pro- ductive. As catch rates for yellowfin tuna decrease, more and more fishing will be directed toward al- bacore. 583. Electrical installation for control of the northe)n squawfish, by Galen H. Maxfield, Gerald E. Monan, and Holbrook L. Garrett. February 1969, iii + 14 pp., 8 figs., 4 tables. ABSTRACT Electricity was used e.xperimentally to divert and trap squawfish during their spawning migration in 1958 at Cascade Reservoir, Idaho. Electrical fields, created by sequentially energizing a V-shaped array of vertically suspended round electrodes with square-wave, d.c. pulses, were evaluated as a means of diverting squawfish into traps. Three test conditions of varied pulse frequency, pulse duration, and voltage were tested. Two sets had a pulse frequency of 10 pulses per second (2 per field per second when five fields were pulsed in se- quence), a pulse duration of 50 msec, and voltages of 140 and 180 v.; one set had a pulse frequency of 15 pulses per second (3 per field), a pulse duration of 25 msec, and a voltage of 180 v. One set (pul.se frequency, 10 pulses per second; pulse duration, 50 msec; and voltage, 180 v.) was repeated. The electrical fields of the electrode array were effective in diverting squawfish into traps. The test condition with pulse frequency of 15 pulses per sec- ond, pulse duration of 25 msec, and voltage of 180 v. was less effective than the other test conditions. 584. Fur seal investigations, 1966, by BCF, Marine Mammal Biological Laboratory. June 1969, vii + 123 pp., 33 figs., 6 app. C figs., 52 tables, 27 app. A tables, 15 app. C tables. ABSTRACT In 1966, 52,497 male and 391 female fur seals (Callorhinus insinus) were killed on the Pribilof Islands. Counts of dead fur seals included 27,392 pups, 222 adult males, and 227 adult females. Malnutrition, hookworm disease, infections, and bite wounds were the major causes of death of 164 pups examined in 1966. On the Pribilof Islands 9,948 harem and 6,856 idle males were counted in 1966. Of the 51 4-year-old females examined, one was primiparous and post partum; none of the 65 3- year-old females had been gravid. Handling apparently causes pups to lose weight or slows their rate of weight gain. 12 A total of 12,499 pups were tagged and check- marked and 12,077 were marked. Two tags were attached to 2,978 males older than pups on St. Paul Island. Recoveries of seals marked in previous years included 4,418 marked as pups and 159 marked at age 1 or older on the Pribilof Islands, and 30 seals marked as pups on the Soviet Islands. Pups tagged in late September apparently survive the effects of tagging better than pups tagged in mid-August. On the basis of tag recoveries, the estimated number of pups born decreased steadily from 643,000 in 1960 to 440,000 in 1964. The esti- mate of pups born in 1966 from marked-to-unmarked ratios was 380,000. Estimates from marked-to-un- marked ratios were similar to total counts of pups on three rookeries. An estimated 78,000 males from each of two year classes (1961 and 1962) survived to age 1. The forecasted kill of 3- and 4-year old male seals on St. Paul Island in 1966 was 40,000; the actual kill was 37,669. The forcasted kill of males on the Pribilof Islands in 1967 includes 4,000 of ages 2 and 5, 34,300 of age 3, and 17,900 of age 4. The 249 adult males killed for study and the 157 adult males found dead had similar age distributions. The annual replacement rate for males age 10 and older is estimated aas 0.38. Si.\ty-six genital tracts from adult females were collected from 13 September to 28 November. The first of 17 tracts with implantation chambers was collected 4 November; all 5 tracts taken on 28 November had implantation chambers. In a test to determine accuracy in assigning the correct ages to fur seals from canine teeth, the lowest errors were 2.5 to 3.9 percent for males in ages 2 to 5 and 3.8 to 21.3 percent for females in ages 3 to 7. Japanese and U.S. readers disagreed on 18.2 percent of males in ages 1 to 4 and 36.5 per- cent of females in ages 1 to 7 in two other groups of teeth. Succinylcholine apparently is unsafe for use in immobilizing adult male fur seals. Seal pups gained more weight when fed calcium caseinate and fish flour than when fed fish flour alone. Colostrum milk obtained immediately post partum has much higher levels of albumin and globulin than does milk of later lactation. Pelagic research was conducted off central and southern California from 21 January to 25 March 1966. Seal distribution was studied along transects extending 19 to 222 km. offshore between lat. 32° N. and 38° N. at 37-km. intervals. Seals were usually found 37 to 130 km. offshore. The largest concen- trations of seals were usually near areas where abrupt changes in depths occur along the Continental Shelf and over seavalleys and seamounts. Of 2,704 seals sighted, 444 were collected, 78 were wounded and lost, and 67 sank after they were killed. Males formed only a small part of the population. Of 428 females taken, 52 percent were gravid; the youngest gravid female was a primiparous 4-year- old. A lanternfish (Myctophum calif ornierise) , a .sciaenid (species unknown), and a squid {Chiroteii- this i-eraiiyi) were found in fur seal stomachs for the first time. Northern anchovy (Engraulis mor- dax) , Pacific saury (Cololahis saira) , Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) , and squids were the prin- cipal food species of fur seals off California. 585. Length-weight relation and conversion of "whole" and "headles-s" weights of royal-red shrimp, Hymenopenaeus rohustiis (Smith) , by Edward F. Klima. May 1969, iii + 5 pp., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Differences in the length-weight regression co- efficient (b) between sexes are noted for shrimp in one of three areas, and differences among areas are apparent. Equations for converting whole weight to headless weight and vice versa are given for three areas. The estimating equations differ between the areas. Estimating equations for each area are adequate for describing the relation between whole and head- less weights and headless and whole weights. 586. Published in 1970. 587. Transplanting adult pink salmon to Sashin Creek, Baranof Island, Alaska, and survival of their progeny, by William .J. McNeil, Steph- en C. Smedley, and Robert J. Ellis. August 1969, iii -f 9 pp., 3 figs., 6 tables. ABSTRACT The return of adult pink salmon, Oveorhyvchus gorbuscha, to Sashin Creek was very low in the even years from 1946 to 1962. In 1964 an exper- iment tested a method of transplanting adults to re- establish the even-year run of pink salmon. About 2,400 adult pink salmon were captured in a purse seine in Bear Harbor and transported alive in brine tanks on a boat to Sashin Creek, a distance of about 80 km. (50 miles). Most of the fish sur- vived the trip; 727 males and 1,139 females were put into Sashin Creek above a weir. The trans- planted fish were augmented by 166 females and 121 males of unknown origin that entered the stream naturally. The distribution of the spawners in the stream was similar to that of native runs of the same size. Survival of the eggs and progeny from a potential deposition of 2,230,000 eggs was relatively good for Sashin Creek — 55 percent to the end of spawning and 14 percent to fry emergence the next spring. The survival of these fish in the ocean was also rel- atively good, and about 6,000 adults (2 percent of the fry) returned to spawn in 1966. These fish spawned successfully, and survival of fry in 1967 from the potential egg deposition was 12 percent. 13 588. Processing of digital data logger STD tapes at the Scripps Institution of Oceanogra- phy and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, La Jolla, California, by James H. Jones. June 1969. iii + 25 pp., 6 figs., and Apps. ABSTRACT The development of continuous sampling STD (salinity-temperature-depth) sensors as a prime data collection tool for oceanographic cruises has necessitated the development of techniques capable of handling the data with modern digital computing equipment. This paper describes one such technique that was developed for processing STD data collected as part of the E.\STROPAC Survey Program. The description assumes that the data has been digitized and recorded on IBM compatible tape in the field. The computer programs needed for processing the basic data tapes are described, and a listing of the program with subroutines is given in the Appendix. 589. Return and behavior of adults of the first filial generation of transplanted pink salmon, and survival of their progeny, Sashin Creek, Baranof Island, Alaska, by Robert J. Ellis. October 1969, iii + 13 pp., 5 figs., 10 tables. ABSTRACT Escapement of adult pink salmon to Sashin Creek in 1966 was 5,761 fish — mostly progeny of 1,866 adults transplanted to the stream in 1964. The adults entered Sashin Creek relatively early in the season and within a short period of time. Most of them spawned in the same two study sections of Sashin Creek ("Lower" and "Middle") used by their parents and by earlier native runs of similar size. The two sections had nearly equal densities of fe- males (about 0.27 per square meter) and potential egg deposition (about 570 eggs per square meter) but diff'erent efficiencies of egg deposition (about 47 percent in the Middle section and 28 percent in the Lower). The low average efficiency for the entire stream (37 percent) was probably due to the high streamflow during the spawning season. The pro- portion of combined eggs and alevins alive in March was nearly equal in the Middle and Lower sections (63 and 65 percent), but the disappearance from the end of spawning to just before emergence was markedly different — about 80 percent for the Middle section and 47 percent for the Lower. Total sur- vival from potential egg deposition to preemergent fry was 9 percent in the Middle section and 15 per- cent in the Lower. Estimated number of pink salmon fry produced in Sashin Creek in the spring of 1967 was 750,000, or 12 percent of the potential egg deposition of 6,255,000. This is the survival predicted from the historical relation of total fresh-water survival to the date half the spawners entered the stream. Several lines of circumstantial evidence indicate that the adult pink salmon that spawned in Sashin Creek in 1966 were mostly progeny of the fish trans- planted to the stream in 1964. 590. Distributions of fishes in fresh water of Katmai National Monument, Alaska, and their zoogeographical implications, by William R. Heard, Richard L. Wallace, and Wilbur L. Hartman. October 1969, iii + 20 pp., 2 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Katmai National Monument covers 10,916 km.- on the base of the .Alaska Peninsula and is divided by the Aleutian Mountain Range into two principal drainage areas. Streams north of the Aleutian Range flow into Bristol Bay of the Bering Sea, and those south of the mountains flow into Shelikof Strait of the North Pacific Ocean. The large multi- lake Naknek River system is the dominant drainage area on the Bristol Bay side of the monument, where- as small single lakes and short streams and rivers constitute many separate drainages on the Shelikof Strait side. Twenty-four species of fish occur in the Bristol Bay drainages of the monument, but only eight species were collected in streams and lakes draining into Shelikof Strait. Evidently the Aleu- tian Range has been a barrier to the southward movement of freshwater fishes in the monument. All eight species in Shelikof Strait drainages are capable of dispersal through salt water, whereas several forms in Bristol Bay drainages require fresh water for dispersal. Variable numbers of species occur in the interconnecting lakes of the Naknek River system. Naknek Lake, the downstream term- inus of the lake system, contains 24 known species and each upstream lake contains fewer species than the one into which it drains. The present distribu- tion of fishes in this system is discussed in terms of the sequential timing of species invasion and the postglacial development of barriers. 591-592. Published in 1970. 593. Review of studies of tuna food in the At- lantic Ocean, by Alexander Dragovich. De- cember 1969, iii + 21 pp., 1 apps. table. ABSTRACT Published and unpublished reports are reviewed and methods used to evaluate the data are discussed. A description is presented of the food of seven At- lantic tunas of commercial importance, little tuna {Euthynrnis alletteratus) , skipjack tuna (Katsu- wonus pelamis) , yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacar- es) , blackfin tuna {T. atlanticus) , the bluefin tuna complex {T. thyiiims thymius and T. maccoyii) , big- eye tuna (T. obesus) , and albacore (T. alalunga). Their food consists mainly of pelagic fish (mostly juveniles, some larvae and adults), crustaceans (mostly macrozooplankton) , and molusks (chiefly cephalopods). The greatest number of food items 14 are fish taxa (331), followed by crustaceans (111) and mollusks (74). Prey organisms are listed al- phabetically, according to the tuna species. The food consumed by the species of tuna was generally similar. Differences in food between the juvenile and adult bluefin tuna were pronounced; juveniles fed largely on crustaceans whereas adults fed pri- marily on fishes. Seasonal differences were noted in the composition of the food of skipjack and yel- lowfin tunas in African waters. 594-597. Published in 1970. 598. Size composition, sex ratio, and size at maturity of offshore northern lobsters, by Bernard E. Skud and Herbert C. Perkins. December 1969, iii -|- 10 pp., 6 figs., 12 tables. ABSTRACT The fishery for northern lobsters, Homarus amer- icanus, in the offshore waters of the North Atlantic is developing rapidly and is expected to alter certain lobsters have been taken during research cruises and from commercial catches to document the ex- isting size composition, sex ratio, and size at ma- turity. These records will provide useful indices of population changes as fishing effort increases. The data in this report are from five of the major fishing areas — Hudson, Veatch, Oceanographer, Lydonia, and Corsair Canyons. Lobsters from can- yons 200 km. from shore were substantially smaller than those from areas farther offshore. The size of lobsters generally increased with depth and the proportion of females generally increased with in- creasing size. Females dominated the samples and sometimes were 70 percent of the catch. The num- bers of egg-bearing females are reported. The smallest female with external eggs was 8.0 cm. in carapace length.
