FEO PRODUCTION AND EXPORTS 



The member countries of the Fish Meal 

 Exporters' Organization (FEO) which account 

 for about 90 percent of world exports of fish 

 meal, report a rise in production and a drop 

 in exports during January-July 1966--com- 

 pared to the same period in 1965. The FEO 

 countries are Chile, Angola, Iceland, Norway, 

 Peru, and South Africa/South-West Africa.

"OCEANOGRAPHER" SAILS ON 

 14,000-MILE EXPEDITION 



The "floating laboratory" of the U.S. Coast 

 and Geodetic Survey, the Oceanographer , 

 sailed from Jacksonville, Fla., October 3, 

 for an 11 -week, 14,000-mile scientific ex- 

 pedition to the South Atlantic. 



The 303-foot, 3,800-ton, $9.2 million air- 

 conditioned vessel is the largest and most 

 completely automated oceanographic research 

 vessel in the United States. It will conduct a 

 wide range of marine scientific studies off 

 the east coast of South America and partici- 

 pate in observations of a total eclipse of the 

 sun on November 12.

Airniy Eclipse Path 



Oceanographic track of the trip of the Oceanographer which was 

 designated "Operation Eclipse". 



The expedition's objectives are to make 

 a scientific observation of the total eclipse 

 and conduct research along the continental 

 margins of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. 

 South American scientists were invited to 

 participate in various phases of the expedi- 

 tion. The Oceanographer will seek evidence 

 to evaluate the suggestion that the earth's 

 continents were once part of one or two super- 

 continents that split aeons ago and have been 

 adrift since. Its work may shed light on the 

 idea that South America and Africa were 

 once one continent.
