.'ABSTRACT 



The developments of the fishery (fourth most 

 valuable fishery in the Gulf) are shown by the 

 following comparisons: 



Vessels. — From a relatively small fleet of sail- 

 driven schooners with live-wells for keeping fish to 

 numerous diesel powered boats using ice for pre- 

 serving the catch. 



Fvihing grounds. — From areas lying close to the 

 mainland (inside 40 fathoms) off Florida and the 

 "Middle Grounds" southeast of Pensacola to the 

 "Western Grounds" off Texas and the Campeche 

 Banks off Mexico. 



Gear, equipment, and fishing methods. — From cot- 

 ton handlines using the hand over hand technique 

 to stainless steel lines with reels and improved ter- 

 minal gear. From dead-reckoning and sounding 

 techniques for navigation and locating fishable 

 bottoms to modern electronic equipment, complete 

 and accurate charts, and celestial navigation. From 

 the generally ineffective cod gill nets, longlines, 

 hoop nets, and fish traps for catching snapper to 

 to highly successful modified otter trawls. 



Handling and marketing. — From unsatisfactory 

 fish handling techniques, resulting in poor quality 

 fish, to greatly improved methods. From almost ex- 

 clusive use of railroads for shipping fish iced in 

 barrels to the predominant use of trucks for ship- 

 ping boxes of iced fish. 



Production. — From good catches made per boat by 

 the relatively small snapper fleet, producing mod- 

 erate total landings, to decreased catches per boat 

 for a much increased fleet, making greater total pro- 

 duction.

.\BSTRACT 

 Trends, developments, and statistical data are 

 presented on important aspects of Japan's world- 

 wide fisheries. Included are discussions of the prin- 

 cipal types of fish and other aquatic products landed 

 by the Japanese, areas in which species are caught, 

 size and composition of the fishing fleet, fishermen's
