Description

Abstract: During this period the otter trawl fishery operated at peak production, and, as in past years, the bulk of the field work was conducted in this period. Field work consisted of: (1) commercial landings of Dover sole and shrimp were sampled; (2) a limited number of samples were taken of mink food landings; (3) 4 trips were made on otter trawlers to sample the catches at sea before they were sorted on the boats; (4) 4 trips were made on shrimp boats to sample the catches at sea; and (5) interviews with otter trawlers and shrimp fishermen were expanded to include all boats landing at ports south of Astoria. Laboratory work consisted of: (1) processing and partial analysis of the sampling data collected; (2) completing an analysis, from IBM records, of the 1958 landings of Dover, English, and petrale soles, and Pacific Ocean perch; (3) completing and submitting the May 1958 - April 1959 otter trawl investigations progress report and other reports including a summary or the 1959 sampling at sea, a summary of the 1959 otter trawl and shrimp, fisheries for the Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission meeting in San Francisco, and a report on the development of regulations in the otter trawl fishery.
