The U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries is cooperating with the Program 

 in Biology and will participate in Cruises 1, 2, h, and 5 of the ANTON BRUUN. 

 Funds from the Program in the amount of nearly $57,000, were reallocated to 

 the Bureau to supplement the $70,000 budgeted by the Bureau for its first 

 year of participation (Cruises 1 and 2). 



The research program of the Bureau will include a program of longline fish- 

 ing on Cruises 2 and 5 to sample the tunas, marlins, sharks, and other apex 

 predators. The Bureau is especially interested in the distribution and 

 abundance of adult tunas in relation to the circulation during the two monsoon 

 seasons; the relation of the apex predators to the food-chain, standing crops, 

 and productivity; and the identification of subpopulations of tunas and other 

 apex predators by means of serological techniques. Catches will be weighed 

 and measured, recordings will be made of the sex and maturation of the gonads, 

 collections of stomach contents, ovaries, and blood samples will be obtained, 

 and certain specimens will be retained for taxonomic work. 



The Bureau will also conduct a program of bottom trawling on Cruises 1 and k 

 to study the distribution and relative abundance of demersal species in 

 relation to the topography and nature of the bottom, with emphasis on species
