Described albacore live bait fishing ground 

 in the transition zone north of the Kuroshio 

 front in 1947, 1948, and 1950. The ground 

 was formed within an isolated water mass 

 accompanied by an anticyclonic eddy. The 

 warm-water mass was formed by a meander of 

 the Kuroshio front. 



KEY WORDS: tuna, albacore, temperature, 

 salinity, currents, front, season.

Described three Pacific areas for fishery: 

 Japanese, Hawaiian, and eastern Pacific 

 waters. Gave methods of fishing, and general

 of effort, changes due to year class strength 

 which were due to environmental changes.
