of 59 salmon per set for the 135 sets which 

 captured salmon. Albacore were taken on 15 

 sets and 45 sets produced neither salmon 

 nor albacore. 



Oceanographic data were collected at 

 each set and at intervals between fishing 

 stations. A summary of these data was 

 reported by Love (1957) and the data will 

 appear in detail elsewhere. 



Individual cruise reports describing 

 these operations in detail were prepared by 

 Richard Hajny, George Tanonaka, Douglas 

 Weber, Richard Johnsen, Eugene Hill and 

 Robert Ting, all of whom served as biolo- 

 gists aboard the vessel. The present report 

 summarizes data presented to the Commission 

 in these more detailed cruise reports.
