. Commercial fisheries review. Fisheries; Fish trade. 30 When new sources of fish are found, BCF specialists study the type and size of vessel and gear most suitable for catching the fish. BCF's midwater trawl catches commercial quantities of formerly underutilized species; it is expected to expand fishing for the Pacific Coast fisherman. BCF improvements in the shrimp trawl may make daytime trawling Its scientists have used under- water television to develop gear and adapted the telemeter to midwater trawl fishing. They have used submarines and satellites. On Shore On shores, BCF scientists work to conserve the estuaries, where at least 7 of the 10 most valued commercial species and most marine sportfish species spend important parts of their life cycle. The coastline is important to a half- million people whose living comes from com- mercial fishing--and to sport fishermen, waterfowl hunters, boaters, swimmers, and nature lovers. EXPLORATORY FISHING & GEAR RESEARCH Basic to the vast BCF operation are the exploratory fishing and gear research of 6 field stations at: Gloucester, Mass., St. Simons Island, Ga., Pascagoula, Miss., Ann Arbor, Mich., Seattle, Wash., and Juneau, Alaska. These centers publish their findings. The following are some recent achieve- ments of the field stations: NORTHEAST & MIDDLE ATLANTIC Along the edge of the Continental Shelf, king-sized lobster pots have proved effective in waters 10-15 times deeper than those fished by inshore lobstermen. Time-and-motion studies aboard fishing boats have led to the development of conveyor s and sorters that make the fishermen's job easier by eliminating bending and reaching. A vacuum eviscerator replaces the "rip- and-grap" method. The new device, together with much-improved washing devices, re- duces bacteria on fish and increases high- quality shelf Fig, 1 - The vacuum 2ration technique.
