 1967, 117 pp. on 2 microfiche. 

 ABSTRACT 

 Physical-chemical oceanographic data collected 

 off the coast.s of Washington and British Columbia 

 during Cruise No. 63-4 of the R.V. George B. Kelez 

 from October 23 to November 24, 1963, are present- 

 ed. Seventy-four stations were occupied within 220 

 km. of shore. Temperature, salinity, density and 

 dissolved oxygen values at varying depths to a max- 

 imum of 2,700 m. are tabulated. The following are 

 presented: vertical sections of temperature, salin- 

 ity, dissolved oxygen, and density from to 3,000 m. 

 and to 300 m. ; surface temperature and salinity; 

 temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen near 

 the bottom along the continental terrace; charts of 

 anomalies of dynamic heights, 0/1,500 and 200/1,500 

 db.; and volume transports, 0/1,500 db. 



22. Fishes and juvenile stages of pink shrimp 

 (Penaeiis duorarmn) collected in Buttonwood 

 Canal, Florida, December 1962 to June 1965. 

 By B. J. Yokel, M. A. Roessler, and E. S. Iver- 

 sen. 1967, 58 pp. on 1 microfiche. 

 ABSTRACT 

 A stationary, 19.1-mm. stretched-mesh net which 

 relied on tidal currents for its effectiveness was used 

 for the sampling. Total catches and hydrograpbic 

 and meteorological observations are given for each 

 V4-hour sample. "Average" hydrological and me- 

 terological conditions are summarized for each tide. 

 Relative abundance of animals and sizes and sex 

 ratios of pink shrimp are also reported.

Vol. 3, No. 4. Extending the shelf life of frozen 

 Cisco (Coregonus artedii) products through 

 the use of water-soluble antioxidants. By R. 

 A. Greig, J. A. Emerson, and G. W. Fliehman. 

 May 1967, pp. 1-10, 4 figs., 8 tables. 

 ABSTRACT 

 The effectiveness of various water-soluble antiox- 

 idants for retarding the development of rancididity 

 in frozen cisco (lake herring) products was studied. 

 Ascorbic acid was found to be more effective than 

 propyl gallate, monsodium glutamate, or sodium 

 tripolyphosphate. At 0° F., ascorbic acid extended 

 the shelf life of frozen cisco portions and fillets at 

 least twofold. 



Vol. 3, No. 4. Technological studies of Dunge- 

 ness crab processing Part 3 — laboratory ex- 

 periments in the control of drain time. By 

 Harold J. Barnett, Richard W. Nelson, and 

 John A. Dassow. May 1967, pp. 11-17, 6 

 tables. 



ABSTRACT 

 This study indicates the possibility of improving 

 consumer acceptability of Dungeness crab-meat 

 products by controlling drain-time procedures 

 closely. Specifically, it indicates that the drained 

 weight of crab body and leg meat can be controlled 

 within narrower limits than is customary and that 

 the amount of unsightly nutrient-eluting thaw fluids 

 can be markedly decreased. The result is a product 

 of higher quality. 



Vol. 3, No. 4. Temperature, weight, and drip 

 changes during precooking of tuna. By Alex- 

 ander M. Dollar, Andrew Goldner, and Harold 

 S. Olcott May 1967, pp. 19-23, 3 figs., 3 tables. 

 ABSTRACT 

 Changes in temperature, weight, and drip of tuna 

 during precooking under commercial conditions were 

 studied. The increase in internal temperature dur- 

 ing precooking was delayed by incomplete thawing 

 of the tuna prior to the cooking. Solids in the col- 

 lected drip averaged from 3 to 4 percent of the drip. 

 The pH of the drip remained virtually constant at 

 6.3 or 6.4 as the cooking progressed. 



Vol. 3, No. 4. Eflicacy of fish oils in healing 

 wounds and burns. By Maurice E. Stansby, 

 Paul E. Zollman, and R. K. Winkelmann. 

 May 1967, pp. 25-27, 1 table. 

 ABSTRACT 

 Traditionally, fish oils are purported to effect 

 rapid or improved healing of skin lesions, such as 

 wounds and burns. To test this belief, we carried 

 out an experimental study on hairless mice, which 

 were given reproducible cuts or burns and treated 

 with various types of fish oil. Experimental treat- 

 ments included the use of (1) menhaden oil contain- 

 ing glyceryl ethers, (2) cod-liver oil containing a 

 considerable amount of vitamin A, (3) a highly un- 

 saturated fish oil (menhaden) without additives, 

 (4) a commercially prepared ointment containing 

 cod-liver oil, and (5) a laboratory prepared oint- 

 ment also containing cod-liver oil. Control treat- 

 ments included the use of (1) mineral oil, (2) the 

 use of an ointment containing no fish oil, and (3) 

 no treatment whatever. Completely negative results 

 were obtained except that, in some cases, the use of 

 any oil, including mineral oil, shortened healing time. 



Vol. 3, No. 4. Chemical composition of commer- 

 cially important fish of the United States. By 

 Maurice E. Stansby and Alice S. Hall. May 

 1967, pp. 29-46, 13 tables. 

 ABSTRACT 

 The chemical composition of fish varies widely 

 from species to species and also from fish to fish 

 within a given species. Data on the composition of 

 important American food fish are tabulated with 

 respect to proximate composition, content of water,
