Poland MAKES GOOD CATCHES IN NORTHWEST ATLANTIC During first-quarter 1969, Polish fisher- men made good catches in the Northwest Atlantic. Fishermen of the state-owned com- bine DALMOR caught over 50,000 metric tons of fish (species not known) during January 1- March 18, 1969. DALMOR is the largest Polish deep-sea fishing company. Most Polish vessels sighted off the mid-Atlantic coast early in 1969 belonged to it. To Fish Shrimp Another distant-water fishing combine, ODRA, is planning to fish Georges Bank shrimp for canning. The 1969 quota was set at 200 metric tons. ('Polish Maritime News,' April.) Earlier Catches In 1968, the Poles caught 187,000 tons of fish from the entire ICNAF area (80,000 in subarea 5, Georges Bank), This was a sizable increase over the 120,000 tons (41,000 tons in subarea 5) caught in 1967. Other Developments In early 1969, the Poles began fishing southeast Atlantic hake off Angola. Daily catches averaged about 40 tons. In March 1969, 'Kwiska,' the first Polish trawler, was converted into a purse seiner. (Photos: Dunne).
