Australia AMEHICAN DJTEIRESTS REQ,UEST PERMISSION TO FISH FOR TUNA DJ AUSTRALIAN WATERS; An opportunity has arisen to test pole fishing with live bait and purse seining for tuna in Australian waters, the July I95O Fisheries Newsletter of the Australian Director of Fisheries reports. Negotiations are now taking place between American interests and the various Australian Departments concerned to facilitate the entry of the tuna vessels in that country's waters. The offer to test live-bait pole fishing has been made by the general manager of the Fiji-Samoa tuna enterprises (see Commercial Fisheries Review. September I95O, p. 52). These companies plan to bring a tuna clipper, live-bait boat, and a re- frigerated carrier, manned by experienced crews, to see if they can catch in Aus- tralian waters the tuna that they have failed to take in sufficient quantity in Fijian SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA IS CAUGHT NEAR AUSTRALIA. A somewhat similar offer has been made by one of California's largest tuna paolters through a company in Sydney. This company plans to send a purse-seine skipper and vessel, and a skilled crew. In addition to proving if tuna can be taken in Australian waters in commercial quantities by either or both of these two fishing methods, the exploratory fishing planned would provide a valuable opportunity for training Australian crews in both pole fishing and purse seining, provide employment for Australian fishermen, and greatly increase Australia's dollar-earning capacity. It is pointed out that neither of the above methods is within the financial resources of the average Australian fisherman, but for him there will always re- main trolling, which is capable of considerable expansion in New South Wales and can be Introduced to other States,.
