 since 1973 of surface salinity. Described

Fat stores in muscle tissues of albacore are 

 used for energy and migration into the Ameri- 

 can Pacific coast fishery. Fat content de- 

 creased as fish moved east. Some variation 

 noted due to feeding enroute. Foraging en- 

 route found to be associated with Transition 

 Zone boundary (fronts) where fish stayed for 

 several weeks. Fish are immature and there- 

 fore fat storage is not associated with gonad 

 development but for utilization in migration. 



KEY WORDS: tuna, albacore, migration, 

 fronts, feed.
