The fresh salmon are also sold by 

 auction, usually to canneries. On occasion, 

 by prior agreement made between a fishing 

 vessel and a cannery, fresh fish are sold 

 directly to a cannery. Owing to the scar- 

 city of these fish during July and August 

 when fishing activity has moved fair off- 

 shore, cjinneries often freeze and stock 

 fresh salmon during the peak of fresh 

 salmon landings, mainly in June.

From June to mid-August I was stationed 

 at Kushiro sampling the land-based fishery. 

 During this period, I worked closely with 

 the members of the Kushiro Branch, Hokkaido 

 Regional Fisheries Laboratory, under the 

 direction of Motohiro Sakurai. Through the 

 excellent cooperation and assistcince given 

 me by members of his staff, I was able to 

 complete my assignment successfully. 



My sincere gratitude goes to the staff 

 of the Japanese Fishery Agency in Tokyo; 

 Kohei Ogaki, Director, Hokkaido Regional 

 Fisheries Research Laboratory; Motohiro 

 Sakurai, Chief, Kushiro Branch of that sta- 

 tion; officials of the different fishing 

 cooperatives and fisheries high schools; 

 and many others who have given most gener- 

 ously of their help.
