 areas. (Numbers refer to cruises during which the concentrations were located.) 



and were the most abundant species landed in 

 the district during the cruise. The largest 

 sucker catches of 900 and 320 pounds were 

 taken off the Porcupine Mountains in 30 and 40

 15 of the 27 drags in the district and made up 

 3 percent of the total catch. The catch rate of 

 lake trout was 5 pounds per drag.
