Biological and Oceanographic Observations in the Central North Pacific July-September 1958


Book Description

This report contains the biological (including fishing) and oceanographic data collected in the central North Pacific during the July-September 1958 period from the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries research vessel Hugh M. Smith and the M/V Paragon. The latter made a commercial-scale gill-net survey for albacore under a contract with the Bureau. Scientists and crew aboard the former collected oceanographic, biological, and fishing data to permit a comparison of conditions in 1958 with those of previous years. The major effort of both vessels was in the area between 155° and 175° W. longitude and from 41° to 48°N. latitude.
