82. Oceanic Conditions During the Joint Investigation of the 

 Southeastern Tropical Atlantic (JISETA)— February, 

 April, and September-December 1968. By Steven K. 

 Cook, James F. Hebard, Merton C. Ingham, Ellsworth C. 

 Smith, and Carlos Afonso Dias. March 1974, 358 p. on 6 

 microfiche. 



ABSTRACT 



Oceanic conditions in the upper 1.000 meters in the water 

 column off tropical western .Africa are portrayed. The portrayal is 

 comprised of vertical sections of temperature, salinity, sigma (, 

 oxygen, and phosphate. A description of methods of .sampling, 

 analysis, data processing and quality control is presented. 



83. Sample Catches of Penaeid Shrimp Taken by Trawling 

 in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico, 1961-65. By James 

 M. Lyon and Kenneth N. Baxter. April 1974, 50 p. on 1 

 microfiche. 



ABSTRACT 



Data from a 5 yr shrimp trawling survey of the northwestern 

 Gulf of Mexico are reported by station, time, and depth. Numbers of 

 12 species of penaeid shrimp taken during 113 cruises are recorded. 



85. Release and Recovery Data From Brown and White 

 Shrimp Mark-Recapture Studies in the Northern Gulf of 

 Mexico, May 1967-November 1969. By Stephen H. Clark, 

 Dennis A. Emiliani, and Richard A. Neal. July 1974, 152 

 p. on 3 microfiche. 



ABSTRACT 



During seven mark recapture studies conducted in the northern 

 Gulf of Mexico during the period May 1967 to November 1969. 

 personnel at the Galveston Laboratory released 75,947 brown 

 shrimp {Penaeus aztecus) and 38,628 white shrimp {P. setiferus) 

 marked with biological stains, fluorescent pigments, and plastic 

 tags. Recovery of 6.192 brown shrimp and 917 white shrimp, 

 provided data on growth, mortality, migration, and distribution by 

 area and depth. Data for individual recoveries and other pertinent 

 information are summarized in this report. 



86. Observations on Growth of Southeastern Bering Sea 

 King Crab, Paralithodes camtschatica. From a Tag- 

 Recovery Study, 1955-65. By Douglas D. Weber. August 

 1974. 122 p. on 2 microfiche. 



ABSTRACT 



(jrowth data from a 10-yr tag-recovery study of southeastern 

 Berging Sea king crab, Paralithodes camtschatica, were evaluated 

 for sources of error and the usable growth information documented. 



For simplified analysis of growth data the adult male crab 

 growth increments may be combined since the increase in carapace 

 length per molt averages 17.5 mm irrespective of size. For female 

 crabs the growth per molt decreases with increase in carapace 

 length. 



The crabs' migratory pattern, molting stage at time cf tagging, 

 area of recapture, and selectivity of the fishery can influence 

 interpretation of the grrowth data. The interaction of these 

 parameters are presented, and it is suggested that these factors be 

 considered in data application. 



87. Hydrographic Observations in Tampa Bay and Adjacent 

 Waters, May 1971 Through April 1973. By L. Alan Collins 

 and John H. Finucane. August 1974, 146 p. on 3 

 microfiche. 



ABSTRACT 



Hydrographic data are given for water temperature, salinity, 

 dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Additional data include chlorophyll 

 a, b, and c, astacin and nonastacin carotenoids, and primary 

 productivity based on chlorophyll a extraction for 29 stations in 

 Tampa Bay and the adjacent coastal waters from Clearwater south 

 to Sarasota, Fla. Data on air temperature, water temperature, 

 salinity and turbidity from daily observations at three sport fishing 

 piers are provided. Tables summarize mean, range, and number of 

 observations for each of the parameters by the months in which 

 sampling occurred.
