NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS 

 National Marine Fisheries Service, Circulars 



The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFSI 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 Slates 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 CIRC 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 thai review in considerable detail and at a hi^h technical level certain broad areas of research appear in this 

 series. Technical papers originating in cci. nnmirs studies and from management investigations appear in the Circular series. 



NOAA Technical Reports NMF.S CIRC 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 notedl from D83. Technical
