NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS 

 National Marine Fisheries Service, Circulars 



The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic 

 distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels 

 for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing 

 grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the 

 development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service 

 and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on 

 various phases of the industry. 



The NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circular series continues a series that has been in existence since 1941. The Circulars are technical 

 publications of general interest intended to aid conservation and management. Publications that review in considerable detail and at a high 

 technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this series. Technical papers originating in economics studies and from management in- 

 vestigations appear in the Circular series. 



NOAA Technical Report NMFS Circulars are available free in limited numbers to governmental agencies, both Federal and State. They are 

 also available in exchange for other scientific and technical publications in the marine sciences. Individual copies may be obtained (unless 

 otherwise noted) from D825, Technical Information Division, Environmental Science Information Center, NOAA, Washington, DC. 20235. Re-
