Levie) BOARDINGS OF FOREIGN VESSELS IN NORTH ATLANTIC The Soviet repair tug "Uragan" towed fac- tory stern trawler "Pallada" into Boston Harbor on March 2, 1968. The Pallada had nets caught in her propeller while fishing east of Cape May, Because of an approaching storm, permission was granted to enter pro- tected waters of Boston Harbor. Both ves- sels were inspected by BCF Resource Man- agement Agents. The Polish trawler "Brda" entered a Philadelphia shipyard for boiler repairs on March 11, 1968. The vessel remained sev- eral days and was boarded by a Resource Management Agent. The Soviet water tanker "Buguruslan" re- ceived permission to enter Philadelphia port on March 26, 1968, to load 700 tons of water for fishing fleets off Atlantic coast. THE CATFISH Fifty million pounds of farm-raised catfish are expected to be harvested in 1970, and this will double again by 1972. The current average yield is 1,000 pounds per surface acre. More efficient operators obtain yields of 1,500 to 2,000 pounds per acre. In experimental trials, yields of 7,000 pounds per acre have been achieved. In any case, there is a good possibility that in the next 10 years the harvest of commer- cially cultured catfish alone will exceed commercial catches of all wild species in the Great Lakes. Recent development of a mech- anical dressing and skinning machine has greatly facilitated processing op- erations. Farm fish producers have formed processing and marketing or- ganizations. Outside capital has been invested in catfish farming with an eye toward integrated production-proc- essing-marketing procedures. An un- filled demand exists for the highly esteemed catfish in its traditional market area in the south-central United States. The succulent, white, meaty fillets and
