 Specific aspects of saury fishing with lights are not 



reported in this paper; however, basic concepts related to 



fishing with lights are presented.

 Lighting techniques were tested, and their ability to 

 attract saury evaluated. This study indicated that (1) allur- 

 ing lamp standards should be placed 4 to 6 m. apart and 

 the illumination rate should not exceed 200 to 300 lux near 

 the ship, (2) the light beam should be angled 45° from the 

 surface, and (3) fluorescent lamps attract fish more effec- 

 tively and require less power than incandescent lamps.

 Information on the 1964 Japanese saury catch is pre- 

 sented and compared with catches of previous years. 

 Conditions that affected the total catch from 1960 to 1964 

 are discussed (fishing effort, thermal conditions, fish 

 movements, and typhoons). Production values, catch rates 

 by vessel size and the average catch per man on various- 

 sized vessels are computed. The percentage distribution of 

 the total catch to the major markets is presented for 

 1961-64.

 lish summary.) 



Amino acids in Pacific saury were separated and de- 

 tected by the use of two dimensional paper chromatography. 

 The following aminoaclds were detected: alanine, a spa rtlc 

 acid, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine isoleucine + leucine, 

 phenylallne, proline, serine, taurine, threonine, trypto- 

 phane, tysoslne, and valine.

(In Japanese with English sumnnary.) 



The percentage of sexually mature saury caught by the 



light-attraction stick-held dip net method is lower than 



that taken by drift gill nets. This study indicated that as 



saury become sexually mature, vitamin A is concentrated 



in the gonads at the expense of other organs, including the 



eyes. Apparently, lack of vitamin A in the eyes results 



in a reduced photopositive response to fish-alluring lights.

 This article has been translated into Russian from 

 Japanese. Original work by Hotta (1964) was condensed by 

 Zusser. A geographical overview of the three species of 

 saury with emphasis on the Pacific saury is presented. 

 The art of "hand fishing" for saury, which may be useful 

 as a simple sampling technique, is described.

 A brief history of Soviet saury fishing procedures, 

 catches, fishing vessels, and forecasting methods is 

 presented. Soviet investigators rely heavily on information 

 on oceanographic conditions (particularly water tempera- 

 tures and currents) to predict migration patterns and 

 areas offish concentrations. Studies are made annually to 

 determine the recruitment rate' of saury.
