An ideal 'â '..â¢":'â¢"'-' concentration of fish was found after some searching. Of a to- tal of 28 completed tows, 11 good pairs were obtained for studying the effect of the cod- end covers. Cod ends of 6^-inch mesh (knot centers) constructed of 45-yard, 4-thread manila twine were used. The appropriate sizes of haddock were taken in sufficient abundance to provide very good results. * * * * OCEAN PERCH DISTRIBUTION STUDIED BY "ALBATROSS III" (Cruise No. 53): In order to study the distribution of ocean perch (Sebastes) and to collect biological and physical data of the habitat in which they are found, the Service's research vessel Alba- tross HI left Woods Hole, Mass., on August 10 and returned to port August 21, 1953. The vessel operated in the Gulf of Maine and the southern edge of Georges Bank and Nantucket shoals. A total of 34 trawl tows was made and about 1, 500 ocean perch were sexed and measured; also, 29 BT drops were made, and 4 hydrographic stations were occupied. Approximately 120 bottom photographs were taken, accompanied by bottom scoop sam-. Please note that these images are extrac
