Optimum annual recruitment of young saury to the adult 



stock is reported as very critical in Japanese and Soviet 



waters. Investigators coUectedsamplesof floating seaweed 



in areas where saury were spawning and concluded that a 



shortage of such floating debris, to which saury eggs attach 



during the incubation period, undoubtedly reduced survival. 



Straw was scattered on the surface of the water, and as 



many as 8,000 eggs had attached to 500 g. of straw in a 



24-hour period. Straw scattered in spawning areas may 



greatly increase spawning success.

1943. The osteology of the Pacific saury, 

 Cololabis saira . Copeia 1943 : 171- 1 82. 

 The osteology and gross visceral anatomy of the Pacific 

 saury are described from an examintaion of eight speci- 

 mens from the Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia 

 area. The phylogeny of Pacific saury and related species 

 is also discussed.

 ed., 443 pp. 

 A morphological description of Cololabis saira is pre- 

 sented. The role of saury eggs, larvae, and adults in the 

 food chain is briefly discussed. The authors consider saury 

 an excellent food fish and believe it may become com- 

 mercially important to the west coast of the United States 

 as it is now in Japan. 



COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIEW. 



1964. Japan. Saury fishery production and 

 export trends late November 1963. Its 

 vol. 26(2): 75. 

 Saury fishing in Japan picked up sharply in mid-Novem- 

 ber after a slow early season. During late November, 

 4,000 to 5,000 tons per day were being landed, and the 

 price dropped from $103 to $50 a ton. Prices then tended 

 to stabilize at $71 to $78 a ton. 



The Japan Saury Sales Company was reported to have 

 sold Egypt 90,000 cases of canned saury in December 

 1963 at $6.53 and $6.54 per case. 



1965a. U.S.S.R. Electrical fishing with lights 

 and pumps. Its vol. 27(1): 93-94. 

 The Soviets are developing a new method of fishing 

 saury commercially. After the alluring lights have at- 

 tracted the fish into the vicinity of the pump, a direct 

 current electrical field is produced in the water. The fish 

 are attracted to the suction pump, which serves as the 

 anode, and pumped directly aboard the ship. One medium 

 trawler took over 50 tons of saury in 12 days, 20 tons in 1 

 night. 



1965b. Japan. Seasonal saury fishing dis- 

 appointing. Its vol. 27(3): 81. 

 The 1964 Japanese saury landings through November 30 

 were 206,600 tons, 110,600 tons below the saury landings 

 for the same period in 1963, During the late season the 

 price of saury paid to the fishermen rose from about 4 

 cents to 8 cents a pound. 



1965c. Japan. Saury fishery trends. Its vol. 

 27(3): 81. 

 In 1964 a proportionately larger than usual amount of 

 the Japanese saury catch was frozen as bait because of 

 a 200-percent increase in the price of bait saury in 1 year. 

 As of December 15, 1964, the total Japanese saury catch 

 (209,600 tons) was down about 40 percent from the previous 

 year,

1954. Observations on the saury (Cololabis 

 saira ) seen near the California coast 

 during 1950-52. Calif. Fish Game 40: 

 39-46. 

 Observations were made on the occurrence and behavior 

 of saury along the coasts of California and Baja California. 

 Saury were found throughout the study area, but com- 

 mercial-sized fish were most abundant in the Santa Barbara 

 Channel area during the fall and winter. Tables show the 

 length-frequency information taken from various locations 

 during the 3-year study.

 The author feels that a Soviet saury fishing industry in 

 their Far Eastern Pacific fishing grounds would be 

 profitable. Specific saury products are discussed in terms 

 of quality and economic feasibility. Limited catch infor- 

 mation and types of fishing vessels used in the fishery are 

 discussed (SRTR side trawlers are considered most ef- 

 ficient). During 1965, inadequate receiving systems, high 

 processing costs, and extensive search time were slowing 

 the expansion of the Soviet saury fishing industry,
