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.

Organizing the research report to reveal the units of research. By F. Bruce Sanford. December 1967, iii + 9 pp., 9 figs. ABSTRACT As a research project becomes increasingly com- plex, the traditional outline used to report the re- search becomes less satisfactory. The reason is that the traditional outline tends to dismember the basic units of the research and to regroup the parts in such a manner that the whole is obscured. Suggested havior, and work on other research projects, here is a model that will help the researcher or- ganize his report in such a way that the basic units are kept intact and their identity is revealed regard- less of how complex the research may be. 273. Design of the MV Delaware II. By Keith A. Smith. October 1967, iii + 8 pp., 2 figs., 2 tables. ABSTRACT This exploratory fishing and gear research ves- sel of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries was de- signed as a stern ramp trawler of 155.5 feet length overall and is under construction in South Portland, Maine. Delivery is scheduled for spring 1968. The new vessel will be operated by the Exploratory Fish- ing and Gear Research Base at Gloucester, Mass. Special efforts were made to design an efficient stern trawler with a mechanized trawl handling system. The design provides capability for side trawling, clam and scallop dredging, longlining, gill netting, and purse seining as well as for handling experi- mental fishing units and systems. The vessel will be powered by a 1,000-hp. diesel engine. The de- signed service speed is 12.5 knots, cruising radius is 8,000 miles, and the capacity for sustained oper- ation at sea is 30 days. 274.

Extending the shelf life of frozen cisco (Coregonus artedii) products through the use of water-soluble antioxidants. By R. A. Greig, J. A. Emerson, and G. W. Fliehman. May 1967, pp. 1-10, 4 figs., 8 tables. ABSTRACT The effectiveness of various water-soluble antiox- idants for retarding the development of rancididity in frozen cisco (lake herring) products was studied. Ascorbic acid was found to be more effective than propyl gallate, monsodium glutamate, or sodium tripolyphosphate. At 0° F., ascorbic acid extended the shelf life of frozen cisco portions and fillets at least twofold. Vol. 3, No. 4. Technological studies of Dunge- ness crab processing Part 3 — laboratory ex- periments in the control of drain time. By Harold J. Barnett, Richard W. Nelson, and John A. Dassow. May 1967, pp. 11-17, 6 tables. ABSTRACT This study indicates the possibility of improving consumer acceptability of Dungeness crab-meat products by controlling drain-time procedures closely. Specifically, it indicates that the drained weight of crab body and leg meat can be controlled within narrower limits than is customary and that the amount of unsightly nutrient-eluting thaw fluids can be markedly decreased. The result is a product of higher quality. Vol. 3, No. 4. Temperature, weight, and drip changes during precooking of tuna. By Alex- ander M. Dollar, Andrew Goldner, and Harold S. Olcott May 1967, pp. 19-23, 3 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Changes in temperature, weight, and drip of tuna during precooking under commercial conditions were studied. The increase in internal temperature dur- ing precooking was delayed by incomplete thawing of the tuna prior to the cooking. Solids in the col- lected drip averaged from 3 to 4 percent of the drip. The pH of the drip remained virtually constant at 6.3 or 6.4 as the cooking progressed. Vol. 3, No. 4. Efficacy of fish oils in healing wounds and burns. By Maurice E. Stansby, Paul E. Zollman, and R. K. Winkelmann. May 1967, pp. 25-27, 1 table. ABSTRACT Traditionally, fish oils are purported to effect rapid or improved healing of skin lesions, such as wounds and burns. To test this belief, we carried out an experimental study on hairless mice, which were given reproducible cuts or burns and treated with various types of fish oil. Experimental treat- ments included the use of (1) menhaden oil contain- ing glyceryl ethers, (2) cod-liver oil containing a considerable amount of vitamin A, (3) a highly un- saturated fish oil (menhaden) without additives, (4) a commercially prepared ointment containing cod-liver oil, and (5) a laboratory prepared oint- ment also containing cod-liver oil. Control treat- ments included the use of (1) mineral oil, (2) the use of an ointment containing no fish oil, and (3) no treatment whatever. Completely negative results were obtained except that, in some cases, the use of any oil, including mineral oil, shortened healing time. Vol. 3, No. 4. Chemical composition of commer- cially important fish of the United States. By Maurice E. Stansby and Alice S. Hall. May 1967, pp. 29-46, 13 tables. ABSTRACT The chemical composition of fish varies widely from species to species and also from fish to fish within a given species. Data on the composition of important American food fish are tabulated with respect to proximate composition, content of water, minerals, proteins, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and other constituents. Vol. 3, No. 4. Author index of publications and addresses — 1965 Bureau of Commercial Fish- eries Division of Economics and Branches of Reports (Seattle) and technology. By Helen E. Plastino and Mary S. Fukuyama. May 1967, pp. 47-58. (No abstract.) Vol. 4, No. 1. Relation of quality of canned yel- lowfin tuna {Thunnus albacares) to length of fish, time of holding on deck, frozen storage aboard vessel, and biochemical variables. By W. Duane Brown, Roland Finch, Tai-Wan Kwon, H. S. Olcott, and M. B. Schaefer. De- cember 1967, pp. 1-21, 19 tables. ABSTRACT This paper is the second in a series reporting the results of studies of factors that affect the quality of canned tuna. The first study showed that species is a predominantly important variable; this second study was confined to a single species. The length of the fish, the period of time the fish were held on the deck of the fishing vessel before being stowed, and the biochemical changes in the fish held in frozen storage aboard the vessel are exam- ined, and the interrelated results are interpreted. Used as analytical tools were biochemical, sensory, and statistical analyses. The factors most important to the quality of canned yellowfin tuna were (in order of decreasing significance) : (1) the length of the fish, (2) the biochemical changes taking place in frozen storage, and (3) the period of time that the fish were held on deck after being captured. Vol. 4, No. 1. Extending the shelf life of frozen chub {Leiicichthys hoyi) fillets through the use of ascorbic acid dips. By R. A. Greig. December 1967, pp. 23-27, 4 figs., 1 table. ABSTRACT Chub fillets, prior to being frozen, were dipped in ascorbic acid solutions of three different concentra- tions to ascertain the comparative effectiveness of each solution in retarding the onset of rancidity in the frozen, stored fillets. Treated and nontreated fillets were examined periodically by sensory meth- ods and by 2-thiobarbituric acid and peroxide-value tests. Results showed that all three treatments with ascorbic acid effectively extended the shelf life of the frozen fillets. Vol. 4, No. 1. Control of salmonellae in fish meal. By B. J. Carroll and B. Q. Ward. December 1967, pp. 29-36, 2 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Environmental studies showed the presence of Salmonellae in three fish-meal plants examined. Data derived from thermal studies indicate factors that should be taken into account when a meal re- quires processing, owing to postprocessing contam- ination with Salmonellae. Protein was not significantly damaged under the time-temperature combinations studied. Vol. 4, No. 1. Irradiation of Pacific coast fish and shellfish. 6 — pretreatment with sodium tripolyphosphate. By J. Spinelli, G. Pelroy, and D. Miyauchi. December 1967, pp. 37-44, 3 figs., 6 tables. ABSTRACT The effects, during storage, of dipping fish fillets and steaks into sodium tripolyphosphate-salt solu- tion prior to irradiation were evaluated relative to drip, sensory factors, and protein alteration and to spoilage microflora. In general, the dipping treat- ment proved beneficial. Vol. 4, No. 1. Extending the shelf life of frozen white bass {Roccus chrysops) through the use of ascorbic acid dips. By R. A. Greig. Decem- ber 1967, pp. 45-48, 1 fig., 1 table. ABSTRACT The effectiveness of ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid plus citric acid in retarding the development of rancidity in white bass fillets during frozen stor- age was evaluated. Sensory and 2-thiobarbituric acid tests run on both treated and untreated sam- ples showed that ascorbic acid retarded the devel- opment of rancidity in the frozen fillets. Vol. 4, No. 1. Relative catching efficiency of a 70-foot semiballoon shrimp trawl and a 94-foot eastern fish trawl. By Walter T. Pereyra, Hiromu Heyamoto, and Robert R. Simpson. December 1967, pp. 49-71, 7 figs., 10 tables. ABSTRACT The purpose of the experiment was to equate the relative catching efficiencies of a 94-foot Eastern fish trawl and a 70-foot semiballoon shrimp trawl. With the limitations that were imposed on experi- mental work by practical considerations, a simple, precise equation relating the catch efficiencies of the two trawls could not be developed. Nevertheless, the work yielded results by which one can make a more objective comparison of shallow- and deep- water trawl data. Fishery Leaflet 585. Fisheries loans for vessels and gear. Anonymous.

Special Scientific Report-Fisheries 537. Pelagic fur seal investigations, 1965. By Clifford H. Fiscus and Hiroshi Kajimura. February 1967, iv + 42 pp., 4 figs., 14 apps figs., 7 tables, 19 apps tables. ABSTRACT Pelagic fur seal research as required by the In- terim Convention on Conservation of North Pacific Fur Seals was conducted off Washington (2-24 April) and off California (11 April to 23 June). One hundred forty-seven fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) were taken off Washington and 269 off California. Off Washington, seals were most nu- merous near Grays Harbor in mid-April. Off Cal- ifornia, seals were concentrated off Monterey from late April to early June and near Cordell Bank west of Pt. Reyes in April and early May. Observation or transect lines extending from 10 to 80 miles off- shore were established between Bodega Head and Pt. Sur, Calif., at 20-mile intervals, to study distri- bution and migration. Seals were most abundant from 30 to 40 miles offshore. Of the 387 female seals taken, 44 percent were pregnant; the youngest preg- nant females were 5 years old. A squid, Moroteuthis robusta, is reported for the first time as fur seal food. By volume, the principal species of fish eaten by seals off California was Merluccius productus and off Washington was Engraulis mordax. 538-542. Published in 1966. 543. Inventory of U.S. exploratory longline fishing effort and catch rates for tunas and swordfish in the Northwestern Atlantic, 1957- 65. By Peter C. Wilson and Martin R. Bart- lett. February 1967, v + 52 pp., 81 figs., 13 tables. ABSTRACT This report summarizes the results of longline ex- plorations for tunas and swordfish by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Woods Hole Oceano- graphic Institution in the Northwestern Atlantic from March 1957 to June 1965. Fishing log data from 31 exploratory cruises are summarized in 12 monthlv tables that give the date, time, position, number of hooks fished and catch for each longline set. The total and monthly fishing effort (number of longline sets and hooks fished within each 1° lat- itude and longitude square) is shown by 13 figures. Similar figures show the total and monthly average and maximum number of bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, and bigeye tunas, and swordfish caught per 100 hooks within each 1° square. Two figures show the monthly catch rates for blackfin and skipjack tunas by 1° squares. 544. Abundance and distribution of zooplank- ton in Hawaiian waters, 1955-56. By Eugene L. Nakamura. May 1967, v + 37 pp., 18 figs., 15 tables, 17 app. tables. ABSTRACT Methods and results of a study of zooplankton are described. Sampling was conducted on eight cruises by vessels of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory, Honolulu, and on nine cruises by the motor vessel Makua of the Hawaii Division of Fish and Game. Sampling included oblique hauls with a single open net at 0 to 60 m. and 0 to 200 m., and three nets towed simultaneously at three levels: an open net at 0 to 60 m. and closing nets at 70 to 130 and at 140 to 200 m. (estimated depths). The catches from the three-net hauls revealed a greater abundance of zooplankton in the uppermost layer than in deeper water regardless of the time of sampling. Differences existed between windward and leeward areas of the island of Oahu at certain times, but one area did not have consistently greater volumes of zooplankton than the other area through- out the seasons. The significance of seasonal dif- ferences was masked by the possibility of annual fluctuations. Composition of plankton varied by depth, season, and area. Relative abundance was comparatively stable with depth and season. Decapod crustaceans were consistently more abundant in the windward than in the leeward area. Halosphaera viridis, a planktonic alga, was sometimes very numerous. Various groups of zooplankton exhibited conspic- uous diel movement. 545. Evaluation of a pump and reeled hose system for studying the vertical distribution of small plankton. By Roderick Leong, Jan- uary 1967, iii + 9 pp., 6 figs., 2 tables. ABSTRACT The system consists of a submerged pump that de- livers water from sampling depth to inboard filters through a long hose. It features a special winch that can store more than 120 m. of collapsible, large- diameter hose. Sources of error due to fragmenta- tion and dispersion of organisms during passage through the system, and escapement through the strainers, were examined. Fragmentation may be excessive if animals are fragile or longer than 5 mm. Organisms that enter the system simultaneously may become widely dispersed but most remain together. Strainers of 100^ mesh (bar measure) retain or- ganisms as narrow as 100^. The capabilities of the pump were illustrated by its use in obtaining vertical profiles of abundance of eggs and larvae of sardines (Sardinops caeridea) and of chaetognaths and doliolids at one station. The eggs and larvae were clearly restricted to the upper mixed layer and upper part of the thermocline. Numbers of chaetognaths increased and numbers of doliolids decreased with increasing depth. The ad- vantages and limitations of the pump for studying vertical distribution are discussed. 546. Longline fishing for deep-swimming tunas in the Marquesas Islands and adjacent areas. By Howard O. Yoshida. April 1967, iii + 10 pp., 10 figs., 3 tables. ABSTRACT Six hundred forty-two tuna, including 438 yellow- fin tuna (Thunnus albacares) , 102 bigeye tuna (T. obesits), 51 albacore (T. alalunga), and 51 skipjack tuna (Katsiiwonns pelamis) , were caught by long- line fishing on three cruises across the Equator on long. 132° and 150° W. and around the Marquesas Islands (ca. long. 140° W.) between August 1956 and May 1958. These cruises were part of an in- vestigation of fishery resources of the Marquesan area by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Bio- logical Laboratory at Honolulu. The distribution and abundance of yellowfin tuna are considered in greatest detail in this report, be- cause this species dominated the catches. Yellow- fin tuna were more abundant during the Southern Hemisphere summer than winter and on long. 132° W. than on long. 150° W. ; also, they were more numerous in the "inshore," <148 kilometers (80 nautical miles) from land, waters of the Marquesas than in the adjacent "oceanic" (>148 kilometers from land) waters. Their abundance differed sea- sonally in the insular waters of the Marquesas. Although bigeye tuna were not as abundant nor as widely distributed, their distribution was some- what similar to that of yellowfin tuna. No albacore were caught north of lat. 7° S. on long. 132° and 150° W. This distribution appeared to be associated with a discontinuity of the oceanic structure extending east-west around lat. 10° S. 547. Response of migrating adult salmonids to vertical and horizontal rectangular orifices at two depths. By Clark S. Thompson, William Spencer Davis, and Emil Slatick. June 1967, iii + 8 pp., 7 figs., 5 tables. ABSTRACT The response of migrating adult salmonids to var- ious placements of rectangular fishway orifices was studied at the Fisheries-Engineering Research Lab- oratory, on the Washington end of Bonneville Dam. Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshaivytscha) , steel- head trout (Salmo gairdneri) , and coho salmon (O. kisutch) approaching a vertical wall had the alter- natives of entering rectangular orifices positioned either horizontally or vertically and either shallow (3 feet) or deep (9 feet). The responses of the three species to the various orifice conditions are analyzed. More migrants passed through shallow orifices than deep orifices, and more salmonids en- tered vertical orifices than horizontal orifices. 584. Expendable bathythermograph data on subsurface thermal structure in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. By J. F. T. Saur and Dorothy D. Stewart. August 1967, iii + 70 pp., 9 figs., 13 tables, 50 charts. ABSTRACT This report contains reproductions of original temperature-depth traces, two temperature sections, and synoptic weather observations taken between San Francisco and Honolulu in November-December 1965, using an expendable bathythermograph system aboard a merchant ship. A third temperature sec- tion derived from closely spaced observations shows the complicated temperature structure with temper- ature maximums and minimums over a distance of about 45 nautical miles (85 km.) across the outer boundary of the California Current. 549. Atlas of July oceanographic conditions in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, 1961-64. By R. W. Owen, Jr. January 1967, vi + 85 pp., 82 figs. ABSTRACT An atlas of July oceanographic conditions in 1961- 64 is presented for the region bounded by the coast of Oregon-Washington and long. 132° W. The atlas consists of charts that show distributions of tem- perature, salinity, density, oxygen concentration, thickness of mixed layer, dynamic height, chloro- phyll a concentration, and catch of albacore, Thun- nus alalunga (Bonnaterre) , at the time of year when albacore first become available to the commercial fishery of the region. Some remarks on the albacore catch and the environment are included. 550. Biology and management of the American shad and status of the fisheries, Atlantic Coast of the United States, 1960. By Charles H. Walburg and Paul R. Nichols. August 1967, iv + 105 pp., 33 figs., 55 tables. ABSTRACT This paper summarizes current information on the American shad, Alosa sapidissima, and describes the species and its fishery. Emphasis is placed on (1) life history of the fish, (2) condition of the fish- ery by State and water area in 1960 compared to 1896 when the last comprehensive description was made, (3) factors responsible for decline in abun- dance, and (4) management measures. The shad fishery has changed little over the past three-quarters of a century, except in magnitude of yield. Types of shad-fishing gear have remained relatively unchanged, but many improvements have been made in fishing techniques, mostly to achieve economy. In 1896 the estimated catch was more than 50 million pounds. New Jersey ranked first in produc- tion with about 14 million pounds, and Virginia sec- ond with 11 million pounds. In 1960 the estimated catch was slightly more than 8 million pounds. Mar- yland ranked first in production with slightly more than 1.5 million pounds, Virginia second with slightly less than 1.4 million pounds, and North Carolina third with about 1.3 million pounds. Biological and economic factors blamed for the decline in shad abundance, such as physical changes in the environment, construction of dams, pollution, overfishing, and natural cycles of abundance, are discussed. Also discussed are methods used for the rehabilitation and management of the fishery, such as artificial propagation, installation of fish- passage facilities at impoundments, and fishing reg- ulations. With our present knowledge, we can manage in- dividual shad populations; but, we probably cannot restore the shad to its former peak of abundance. 551. Preliminary report on the feeding habits of tunas in the Gulf of Guinea. By Paul N. Sund and William J. Richards. July 1967, iii + 6 pp., 1 fig, 2 tables. ABSTRACT The stomachs of 171 yellowfin tuna {Thunnus al- bacares) and 72 skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pela- mis), captured in the Gulf of Guinea, contained mostly fishes, cephalopods, and crustaceans. The percentage composition by volume of these three food categories was: 55, 19, and 8 for yellowfin tuna; 96, 1, and 2 for skipjack tuna. The percentage frequency of occurrence was: 76, 40, and 53 for yellowfin tuna; 73, 14, and 22 for skipjack tuna. The occurrence of forage species varied little in geographic areas within the region, but differences did occur between the food species found in stomachs of fish captured in the "warm" and "cool" seasons. A trematode parasite of the genus Hirudinella was found in stomachs of both tuna species. 552.
