National Marine Fisheries Service, Special Scientific Report— Fisheries 



The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery 

 resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources 

 NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic 

 fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements 

 and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construc- 

 tion subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry, 



The Special Scientific Report— Fisheries series was established in 1949. The series carries reports on scientific investigations that document long-term 

 continuing programs of NMFS. or intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope. The reports may deal with applied fishery problems. The series is 

 also used as a medium for the publication of bibliographies of a specialized scientific nature.
