ABSTRACT 

 Information about part of Southeastern .Alaska 

 salmon streams is cataloged from the voluminous 

 records of the Alaska Department of Fish and 

 Game; the Alaska Salmon Industry; the Fisheries 

 Research Institute of the University of Washington; 

 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Com- 

 mercial Fisheries; and other agencies. Stream 

 descriptions, maps, and historical records of salmon 

 excapement data are compiled for bS salmon streams 

 in Southeastern Alaska Regulatory District 12. 

 Each stream is located geographically by latitude 

 and longitude and by orientation to prominent land- 

 masses. A standard numbering system, number 

 designations formerly in use, and common names of 

 streams are listed. Physical descriptions are pre- 

 sented for the intertidal zone and the upstream 

 areas of each stream. Available records of weather, 

 water temperatures, and information useful to 

 ground and aerial stream surveyors are presented 

 in brief form. The species of salmon using the 

 spawning grounds and estimates of the escape- 

 ments each year for many years are given.

ABSTRACT 

 Temperature and salinity data collected during 

 six cruises of the RV George B. Kelez and one 

 cruise of the RV Miller Freeman in the central and 

 northeastern Pacific Ocean are presented. These 

 data were compiled from lr>G N'ansen bottle casts 

 and 494 STD casts.

ABSTRACT 

 Data have been summarized on CPUE (catch- 

 per-unit-of-effort) for the yellowfin tuna, bigeye 

 tuna, southern bluefin tuna, and albacore, for each 

 10-degree quadrangle of the Indian Ocean. The 

 summarization includes (1) estimates of CPUE of 

 each tuna species for each month (19.52-6.5) and 

 10-degree quadrangle of the Indian Ocean; (2) plots 

 of a least-squares polynoniinal showing the observed 

 and fitted points of CPUE as a time-series for each 

 10-degree quadrangle; and (.3) tables giving the 

 actual values of CPUE, the predicted values, and 

 the residual values as functions of time for each 

 lO-degree quadrangle.

 ating Haddock and Cod Fillets: Introduction. 

 By John D. Kaylor and Edward J. Murphy. 



pp. 1-3, 1 fig. 



ABSTRACT 

 In the studies introduced by this report, three 

 questions were asked: Is a high enough proportion 

 of haddock and cod, as landed in New England, 

 fresh enough to justifj- their being irradiated? (2) 

 Is the temperature of fish during commercial dis- 

 tribution by common carrier sufficiently low to 

 preserve the quality of the fish? (3) Can haddock 

 and cod fillets be irradiated and shipped on a com- 

 mercial scale and still exhibit a significantly in- 

 creased shelf life at iced temperatures? The data 

 collected in the studies indicate that the answer 

 to each of the three questions is "yes."
