Quantity of Bait Used 



Although 70 percent of the domestic tuna catch is estimated to 

 be made by the use of bait, only 10 to 15 percent of all the bait 

 needed or used is taken in United States waters and this portion is 

 suitable only for use in the so-called "local" fishery (California- 

 Mexico grounds). The remaining 85 to 90 percent of the bait require- 

 ment comes from foreign waters. The operating range of United 

 States tuna bait vessels is shown in table 66,
