Six strings set in Southwest Cove captured pounds of 9 count spot shrimp, while 6 strings set just north of Canoe Passage captured pounds of 13 count spot shrimp. Catches of over one pound per trap are considered commercially significant. The average size of the cocktail size (spot) shrimp taken was per pound whole weight, and ranged from 4 to 20 count.

North Atlantic Fisheries Explorations and Gear Development "DELAWARE" EXPLORES CONTINENTAL SHELF SLOPE The M/V Delaware returned to her home port of Gloucester, Mass., on December 15, 19 66, after completing the first in a series of cruises planned to survey seasonally the trawl fisheries resources of the Middle Atlantic Bight area--Hudson Canyon to Cape Hatteras (Cruise 66-11). A second winter cruise was scheduled for February 1967 to complete the area not covered in the first. Generally, catches of fish have been fairly small. Except for scup and lobster, the quan- tities of fish and shellfish found probably were not of commercial significance. Procedure The survey area is to be sampled system- atically by fishing the same stations during each season. The stations have been arranged in transect lines extending across the general slope of the bottom from near the coastline to the Continental Slope. The lines are spaced. S
