Boats averaged less than one fish per man during the first few days of the season despite good weather conditions. :^ ^ :^ ^c ^ THREE TYPES OF SHRIMP FISHING NETS TESTED (M/VNautilus Cruise 57-N-7): The Gulf of Mexico shrimp trawl (semi-balloon type), the western box-type ottertrawl, and the beam trawl were tested during a November 1-30, 1957, cruise by the California Fish and Game's research vessel Nautilus. The tests were conducted between Point Reyes and Point Delgada off central and northern California to measure the inci- dental fish catch and to gather additional life-history data on the ocean shrimp (Pandalus jor- dani). The Gulf shrimp trawl (semi- balloon design) had a 60-foot head rope, and a mesh of 1^ inches be- tween the knots, stretched meas- ure. The western box-type otter trawl had a 58-foot head rope, a calculated fishing swath of 12 feet, and a mesh of if inches between the knots, stretched measure. The beam trawls (one 8 feet wide, one 10 feet wide) had a mesh of l^ inches between the knots, stretched measure. -MISC. INVERTEBRATES. â FISH. -SHRIMP. MISC. INVERTEBRATES 1% FISH 5^. MISC.
