trolled 5 lines and the Manning 6 to 9 lines at 

 speeds of 5 to 7 knots when in the survey area. 

 A variety of jigs and feathered lures was used 

 by all vessels. The troll catches ofalbacore 

 are presented in tables 2, 3, and 4 and figures 

 2 and 3. Catch positions were not available for 

 the charter vessel Lynn. 



Albacore taken in viable condition on the 

 troll lines were tagged and released. Charter 

 vessels employed the California type G tag 



(Wilson 1953); Smith and Manning alternated the 

 use of this tag with a new dart tag (Yan-iashita 

 and Waldron 1958). The tagging results fronn 

 each vessel are summarized in table 5. To 

 date, 5 recoveries have been made (Otsu MS)_'.
