APPENDED CHARTS OF THE FISHING GROUNDS 



(Translator's note: The following charts have been given the sajne nun-ibers by which they were 

 referred to in the text, however, they have been bound out of numerical order, with the larger 

 charts last, for convenience in making up the book. This inconsistency, Jilthough regrettable, is 

 necessitated by a sinnilar inconsistency in the make-up of the original work. ) 



Chart Ila-e 



Albacore catch rate distribution by months for January, February, March, 

 November, and December. The figures inside the 1-degree squares are average catch rates 

 (fish caught per 100 hooks fished per day). The vertical hatching indicates rates of I.O to 3.0, 

 oblique hatching 3.0 to 5.0, and cross-hatching over 5.0, however, this code is not used con- 

 sistently. Squares containing zeros are those in which some fishing was recorded without any 

 catch of albacore. 



Chart VU-k 



Distribution of broadbill swordfish catch rates by months for January, February, 

 March, October, Novennber, and December. Squares with average rates of 1.0 or more are 

 shaded. 



Chart I 



This chart of the combined average catch rates for all species of tuna and spearfish 

 has been omitted from the trauislation. 



Chart III 



Distribution of bigeye catch rates. The figures within each 1-degree square are from 

 top to bottom the average catch rate, the total number of hooks fished, and the number of stations 

 fished. The shaded squares are those in which rates greater than 1.0 were recorded. 



Chart IV 



Distribution of yellowfin catch rates. Dark shaded squares are those with catch rates 

 greater than 5. 0, diagonally hatched squares are those with rates of 3. to 5. 0, zmd gray 

 shaded squares had rates of 1.0 to 3.0. 



Chart V 



Distribution of spearfish catch rates, all species combined. The 1-degree squares 

 with catch rates of 1.0 or nnore are shaded.
