Completion of a census of fish populations on the southern New England banks was the purpose of Cruise No. 38 (August 21-30) of the Albatross III, research vessel of the Service's North Atlantic Fishery Investigations. During this cruise, 79 half-hour tows were made at 58 stations from Cape Ann to Block Island. A concentration of large rosefish (redfish) was found 35 to 50 miles east of the Highlands, The catch of large and scrod haddock was very poor. Baby haddock (young-of-the-year) were taken in large numbers southeast of Nantucket Lightship in 60-75 fathoms, south of No Mans Land in 35 fathoms, and south of Block Island in 35-45 fathoms. The taking of these small fish may indicate a good year class- In 1948, baby haddock were taken as far west as Ambrose Lightship and at the present time this 1948 year class is very abundant, , the recent large landings of scrod at the Boston Fish Pier. Data on the size, numbers, and weight of all species of fish, bottom temper- atures, and bottom samples were also obtsiined at each station.
