This unexpected change is attributed almost entirely to the end of area tensions and the increasing importance of trawling. In Sabah and Sarawak, the 1960 population census reported 6,000 and 5,500 fishermen, respectively. Sabah's landings in 1965 were estimated at 25,400 tons worth US$6 million. No figures are available for Sarawak, but a conservative estimate is 6,000 tons Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
