Supplies: With the catch down, supplies of 

 certain fish for processing were inadequate 

 to meet demand. The controversy over in- 

 creased use of foreign-caught fish continued 

 with processors asking a more liberal policy 

 and fishermen opposing it. The Fisheries 

 Ministry tried to reach a compromise by al- 

 lowing imports of small quantities of raw fish.

East Germany 



FIRST "AT LANTIK"- CLASS 

 STERN TRAWLER LAUNCHED 



The first of a series of Atlantik-class 

 universal fishing trawlers has been launched 

 at Stralsund. A contract with the Soviet Union 

 provides for the delivery of over 100 Atlantiks. 

 They will replace the Tropik - class stern 

 trawlers built in the same East German ship- 

 yard since 1962 and now to be discontinued. 



The Atlantik is superior to the Tropik in 

 severalways: higher speed, more processing 

 capacity, and faster propulsion. The yearly 

 output of Atlantiks, now about 23 units per year, 

 will be raised to 30 units by 1970, according 

 to East German plans. Some of the newly 

 constructed vessels will probably be used by 

 the East German fishing fleet. Like the 

 Tropik, the Atlantik is a universal fishing 



vessel and can be used in both northern and 

 southern latitudes. It is 82.2 meters (269.6 

 feet) long, 13.6 meters (44.6 feet) wide, with 

 an engine of 2,630 horsepower. It can proc- 

 ess m.ore than 80 metric tons of fresh fish 

 per day. The daily maximum processing 

 capacity is 45 tons of frozen fish and 35 tons 

 of fish meal. 



Romania 



STERN TRAWLERS REDUCE LENGTH 

 OF VOYAGE 



The Secretary-General of the Food Indus- 

 tries Ministry reported that Romanian stern 

 trawlers have been able to reduce the length 

 of their voyages to less than 120 days and 

 still catch the planned amounts. Crews now 

 are being trained for additional fishing ves- 

 sels that will join the fleet in 1966-1970. 



The stern trawler Constanta returned for 

 unloading in July after a 110 -day cruise in 

 the Atlantic and was slated to depart soon 

 for fishing zones south of Newfoundland. 

 Romania's second stern trawler, the Galati, 

 was fishing for herring off the Georges Bank 

 south of Newfoundland. 



There are new hatcheries in the Danube 

 Delta and along the Danube. By the end of
