of Japanese Fishing Boats." Although pubUshed 

 by the Fisheries Agency of Japan, in 1952, the 

 man primarily responsible for it is Atsushi 

 Takagi, Chief of the Fishing Boat Section of the 

 Fisheries Agency. Among other information the 

 book contains the following: 



(a) Simimary tables of the Japanese fishing 

 fleets by types of vessels and kinds of engines, 

 made up of some 23 or 24 categories 



(b) Tabulated characteristics of 42 typical vessels, 

 from whale factory ships to fisheries training 

 boats, giving general information, principal di- 

 mensions, capacities, form coefficients, and related 

 data for light- and full-load condition, as well as 

 full-scale trial data; 37 entries for each vessel 



(c) Forty photographs of typical fishing vessels, 

 both large and small 



(d) Technical data on 50 typical fishing vessels, 

 comprising general arrangement plans, lines 

 drawings, displacement and other curves, machin- 

 ery and piping arrangements, fishing gear arrange- 

 ments, refrigeration installations, and the like. 

 The data presented are not the same for all 

 vessels. The largest vessel has 15 plates of data; 

 the least important vessels 3 and 4 plates. 



(e) All dimensions are in the metric system. 



A more recent informative book, of international 

 scope, is "Fishing Boats of the World," edited by 

 Jan-Olof Traung and published by Fishing News, 

 London, 1955, through A. J. Heighway Pubhca- 

 tions, Ltd., Ludgate House, 107 Fleet St., 

 London, E.G. 4. The following explanatory para- 

 graph is copied from the letter forwarding the 

 first of these books from the Food and Agriculture 

 Organization of the United Nations: 



"It is important to emphasise that 'Fishing Boats of 

 the World' is not meant to be a book on naval architecture. 

 It is a book dealing with that part of fishing boat design 

 which is missing from all textbooks on naval architecture, 

 and it is so written and presented that everyone con- 

 cerned with building fishing boats can find its illustrations 

 and information of practical value. It is not suggested that 

 the book contains information about every type of fishing 

 boat, but it does provide a comprehensive survey of a great 

 number of boats, from beach landing craft to modern 

 trawlers and factory ships."
