INTRODUCTION 



This index lists and classifies, by subject and by author, publi- 

 cations printed during the period I918 through 1955 that are of interest 

 to persons in the field of fishery technology. Reports appearing in 

 Government publications and in trade and scientific journals are included. 

 In addition to the articles on strictly technological subjects, some 

 articles on subjects in related fields have been listed. Fairly complete 

 coverage, for example, has been made of the field of fishing vessels and 

 fishing gear. The guiding principle in the indexing of the articles has 

 been the specialized requirements of the fishery technologist. 



For those interested principally in biological problems as well as 

 with certain of those touching upon technology, two other bibliographies 

 are available: Document 899^ Appendix V to the Report of the United 

 States Commissioner of Fisheries for Fiscal Year 1920, "An Analytical 

 Subject Bibliography of the Publications of the Bureau of Fisheries, 

 1871-1920" by Rose M. E. MacDonald and Special Scientific Report-- 

 Fisheries No. 28ij-, "Publications of the United States Bureau of Fisheries 

 l871-19i<-0" by Barbara B. Aller . 



The year I91S was chosen as the first year to be covered by the 

 present index because the first Technological Section of the old U. S. 

 Bureau of Fisheries was set up in I916. The index includes all publica- 

 tions received at Seattle by December 3I; 1955' 



Tae index is divided into three main categories: publication series, 

 author index, and subject index. 



The publication series is arranged according to the journal or other 

 outlet in which the article was published as follows:

FMN Fishery Market News 



IR Investigational Reports 



M Miscellaneous official publications 



P Publications in scientific and trade journals 



RR Research Reports

Each article in the publication series has been given a code number accord- 

 ing to the outlet and sequence of publication, as for example:
