where the temperatures on both sides of the front 

 were within the optimal range for albacore. 



Finally, the tracking experiment demonstrated 

 that acoustic tracking of albacore is feasible and 

 that it can be a useful tool in studies designed to 

 understand better the relationships between 

 albacore and the marine environment. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We acknowledge the assistance provided in the 

 tracking operations by Michael Swiston, and 

 Scotty Hazelton and crew of Linda, the U.S. Coast 

 Guard, Pacific Area, for providing aircraft over- 

 flights, and James Squire for assistance in making 

 and processing the airborne radiometer tempera- 

 ture observations. We thank Charles Forster and 

 crew of the RV David Starr Jordan for the 

 cooperative support in making oceanographic 

 observations, and the American Fishermen's 

 Research Foundation for providing funds for the 

 charter of Linda. We also thank M. Blackburn, J. 

 J. Magnuson, W. H. Neill, and W. G. Pearcy for
