shown by fishing ground NOo 4 which had a current direction of SW and 

 current speed of Oo25 knots„ The third highest catch ratio of U.i*U is 

 shown by fishing grounds NOo 7 and No„ 10 which had a current direction 

 of tVSW with a speed of loO knot, and a current direction of SW with a 

 speed of 0„3 knot,, respectively. Of the fishing grounds which presented 

 comparatively good results during this period^ practically all showed 

 southwest current direction and slow current speed of about 1 knoto The 

 sea conditions of these grounds were generally the same as those en= 

 countered in the previous period. 



Catch 



The fact that more yellowfin tunas than big-eyed tunas and swordfish 

 were caught shows a general similarity '.\rith the data obtained during the 

 previous period. 



During the previous period one albacore was caught from a current 

 flowing SW, This is a peculiar phenomenon since another albacore was 

 caught during the present period from a cijirrent flowing NE„
