 of the Polish original). 



2. Ibid. Wliile only 32,000 persons are actually directly employed in the fishing industry. Dr. Karnicki, the 

 President of the Polish Development As.sociation (prior to his recent resignation to accept a position with FAO 

 in Rome) estimated in an article presented at the First East-West Fisheries Conference in May 1993 in St. 

 Petersburg, Russia, that "the fishing industry provides a living for about 100,000 persons." An article in Zycie 

 Gospodarcze of 30 May 1993 implies that the figure of 100,000 refers to "... people together with families..." 

 of the 3 large high-seas fishing companies. 



3. In 1991, the Polish Statistical Bureau reported the consumption of fishery products at 6.2 kilograms per 

 person.

5. Z. Polanski, "The Fishing Industry in Poland," Published in: FAO/GLOBEFISH Research Programme, Vol. 

 19, Rome, 1993, p. 10. The Polish Goverimient did continue to extend some fisheries assistance in such areas 

 as fishing port maintenance, vocational training of fishermen, fisheries research, etc.

8. This figure was also confirmed in appendix 4 and the vessels are listed in great detail in appendix 8. 



9. The authors have decided to publish the list of Polish fishery vessels, kindly supplied by the U.S. Office of 

 Naval Intelligence, because it was the most complete in listing every vessel by its name, class, and gross 

 registered tonnage. The official submission by the Polish Goveriunent (appendices 5 & 6) had no such detail 

 even though it was more accurate in giving the total number of vessels. A recent report by Z. Polanski in the 

 Bulletin of the Sea Fisheries Institute listed 20 Polish trawlers that were decommissioned in 1990 and 1991. 

 This information was incorporated in appendices 7 and 10.

11. Ibid. Since these large vessels are equipped with refrigeration, they could be used in transporting non- 

 fishery commodities that require refrigeration. One reason for this development is the fact that most Polish 

 vessels fish in thousands-of-miles-distant Pacific grounds. It would be uneconomical to send a large transport 

 vessel to tranship their catch when foreign carriers can accept their products as convenience cargo. In the past, 

 under the command system, high-seas fishery companies had to use Polish transports regardless of the cost and 

 regardless of other closer and cheaper transportation. 



12. Appendix 7 gives the age of the Polish high-seas fishing vcs.sels as well as their names and classes.
