The |- scale Cobb pelagic trawl could be controlled more easily and towed at faster speed than the other trawls. Load cell indicator--To determine the amount of fish being captured by the trawl, a load cell was mounted on a ribline ahead of the codend. A combination of electrical- mechanical towing cables and electrical rib- line was used. The data were displayed on a strip chart recorder mounted in the pilot house. Although some failures occurred with mechanical connectors, the system performed satisfactorily for several tows. Preliminary analysis of the data indicates that load in- creases as fish are captured. Observations of Fish Behavior: During daylight hours, anchovy were found on or near the bottom. Anchovy rose toward the surface and were taken from 5 to 16 fathoms below the surface during hours of darkness. CONCLUSIONS 1. Large schools of juvenile anchovy were found off the coast of Washington. 2. Catch rates of juvenile anchovy were low due to excessive escapement through^r- inch mesh of anchovy trawls and -^-inchmesh liners of Cobb pelagic trawls. 3. A winter fishery for anchovy off the coast of Washington would not be feasible with state-of-the-art midwater trawls and present industrial fish "Oregon's" Shrimp and Swordfish Catches Are Light The R/V Oregon returned to St. Simons Is- land, Ga., on April 28 after a 12-day explora- tory fishing cruise off Florida and the north- ern Bahama Islands (Cruise 117).
