STATEMENT OE DR. GERALD J. PAULIK, COLLEGE OE FISHERIES, 

 UNIVERSITY OE WASHINGTON, SEATTLE, WASH. 



Mr. Patjlik. Mr. Cliairman, my name is Gerald Paulik, and I am a 

 professor of fisheries at the University of Washington in Seattle. I 

 would like to thank you and your distinguished committee for provid- 

 ing me the opportunity to appear before you to present my views on 

 the report "Our Nation and the Sea" prepared by the Commission on 

 Marine Science, Engineering and Eesources. 



I have been asked by our ISTASCO chairman, Dr. John Calhoun, to 

 comment on the marine biological resources aspects of the Commission 

 report. 



As a professor whose primary teaching and research interests have 

 been concerned with the population dynamics of exploited fish stocks, 

 I found the Commission's report to be a timely and masterful exposi- 

 tion of the problems we face as a Nation attempting to make wise use 

 of the living resources of the oceans. The report comes at a time of great 

 national concern about the many problems confronting our domestic 

 fishing industry. 



Total world production of fish and shellfish has expanded steadily 

 since World War II. The average rate of growth of world production 

 is above 6 percent per year. However, the size of the United States 

 catch during this postwar period has remained remarkably constant, 

 and thus our relative position has declined. 



There has not been a corresponding decline in demand for fishery 

 products in the United States. Quite the contrary — statistics just
