Meat yields averaged 6 j pints per 75-pound bushel. Nineteen tows between Jupiter Inlet and Ft. Pierce, Fla., in the 14- to40-fathom depth range resulted in catches varying from zero to one-half bushel per 30-minute drag. Sixty-four observers participated in three days of scallop-fishing demonstrations con- ducted out of Ft. Pierce. Five hours of ac- tual fishing time in the demonstration area (27°53' N. latitude, 80°10' W. longitude) pro- duced bushels of live scallops. An in- dustry-developed mechanical meat and vis- cera "separator" was successfully tested aboard the vessel. Extensive shrimp-trawling and scallop- dredging operations were conducted between Miami and Key West. Shrimp catches rang- ed up to 11 pounds of 40- to 50-count pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum) in 40 to 60 fath- oms and 5 pounds of large brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) in 50 to 60 fathoms south- west of Alligator Reef. Thirty pounds of. lalico scallops dredged from new bed discovered off Florida's east coast. Shells are 2 to inches in size, yielding 4 to 5 pints of meats per 80-pound bushel. Caridean shrimp were taken along with 15 individual royal-red shrimp (Hymenopenaeus robustus) in 325 fathoms south southeast of American Shoal. No live calico scallops were taken during dredging operations in this area. A number of species of Penaeid and Cari- dean shrimp were caught off the western edge of the Great Bahama Bank in depths ranging from 125 to 290 fathoms. Surprising depth records were obtained for the commercially- important Penaeus duorarum, P. brasilienis, and P. schmitti (pink shrimp, and Caribbean brown and white shrimp, respectively), when catches of 1 to 8 pounds were made in depths of 150 to 200 fathoms. Scattered individual royal-red shrimp and P. megalops we
