This indicates poor survival of the 1953 year-class of haddock. This cruise was made to continue the study on the dis- tribution and numbers of zero-age haddock in connection with early life-history and year-class Haddock Strength studies. Only one zero-age haddock was found in the area, while yearling fish of other species, prin- cipally butterfish and Gulf Stream flounder, were very numerous. A total of 24 20-min- ute tows with a No. 36 trawl and 30 bathythermograph lowerings were North Pacific Exploratory Fishery Program FALL-WINTER HERRING FISHING POSSIBILITIES IN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND BEING INVESTIGATED BY "JOHN N. COBB" (Cruise 17): An investigation of the com- mercial herring fishing possibilities in late fall and early winter in Prince William Sound, Alaska, is being conducted by the Service's exploratory vessel John N. Cobb. The vessel sailed from Seattle, Wash., on October 12. The chief purpose of the trip will be to as- certain whether major herring stocks move inshore during the months of October, Novem- ber, and December, and might be available for commercial fishing. Related information, such as sizes and oil content of the herring, will be obtained. Biological data, including age, weight, and length composition of the catch, will be secured. Two branches of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service will participate in this work: the Branch of Commercial Fisheries and the Branch of Fishery Biology. The John N. Cobb will use depth finders and a newly-developed imderwater scanning device
