NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS
National Marine Fisheries Service, Circulars
The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Serv'ice (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the
abundance and geographic 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, surs'eillance of foreign fishing oflF 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-

sented.
272. 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 Delaivare 11. 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.

Vol. 3, No. 4. 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. Eflicacy 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

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 (Leucickthys 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 difl'erent 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.

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.

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 efl^ciency of a
70-foot semiballoon shrimp trawl and a 94-foot
eastern fish trawl. B.v 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.

ABSTRACT
Mississippi coastal waters have been a source of
oysters since precolonial days. The Eastern oyster
reaches marketable size in 2 years in Mississippi.
All reefs are within the limits of the Mississippi
Sound, and the Mississippi Marine Conservation
Commission has jurisdiction over reef rehabilitation,
preservation, and expansion. This report describes
how productive areas are maintained and how cer-
tain reefs are lost because of municipal and indus-
trial wastes. It explains methods and equipment
used in harvesting oysters since establishment of the
fishery and shows annual landings, their value, and
the number of fishermen in the fishery from 1928
to 1965.

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 Washing-ton (2-24
April) and off California (11 April to 23 June).
One hundred forty-seven fur seals {Callorhinus
ursiniui) were taken off Washington and 269 off
California. Off Wa.shington, seals were mest 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 .■Xpril 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.

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 -i- 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 lO.'jT to June 1965. Fishing log data
from 31 exploratory cruises are summarized in 12
monthly 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, albarore,
and bigpye 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 apn. 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 Mnkua 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, sea.son,
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 studving 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 lOO/i mesh (bar measure) retain or-
ganisms as narrow as lOO/i.
The capabilities of the pump were illustrated by
its use in obtaining vertical profiles of abundance
of eggs and larvae of sardines (Siardinops caerulea)
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 0. Yoshida. April 1967, iii -f
10 pp., 10 figs., 3 tables.
ABSTRACT
Six hundred forty-two tuna, including 438 yellow-
fin tuna {Thunnus (tllmcares) , 102 bigeye tuna {T.
obe.ius) , 51 albacore (T. alahinga) , and 51 skipjack
tuna {Katsiiivonus 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 195fi
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 migratino: 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 tshatvytscha) , 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 respon.ses 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.

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.

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 alaliinga ( 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 -1- 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 w-as 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 propaRation, 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 feedin? habits
of tunas in the Gulf of Guinea. By Paul N.
Sund and William J. Richards. July 1967, iii
4- 6 pp., 1 fig, 2 tables.
ABSTR.ACT
The stomachs of 171 yellowfin tuna (Thunnus al-
bacares) and 72 skipjack tuna {Katsuwonus pela-
mix), 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 Hirudhiella was
found in stomachs of both tuna species.
