categories. Although further survey work is needed 

 to determine the depth of maximum abundance for 

 H. longirostris, the apparent greater depth of habitat 

 for this species (1,097 m as compared with 766 m for 

 H. laeuigatus and 366 m for if. ensifer) is the major un- 

 desirable characteristic for development of any pro- 

 posed fishery. Fishing at these greater depths would 

 require greater capital investment not only in a more 

 powerful depth recorder but also in expensive line 

 which would need to be replaced after any gear loss.
