(V) Japanese Tuna Grounds and South Seas Tuna Grounds 



From a comparison of the catches made by fishing boats operating in 

 Japanese waters and those which fish in the South Seas the superiority of 

 the South Seas grounds is readily apparent. This is of course a very general 

 indication and does not accurately define the value of the fishing grounds.
