There was full recognition of the need for thorough scientific study of the tuna re- sources of the area in order to build a basis for evaluating the effect of a growing fishery on the populations of tuna. According to the United States observer, little is known at present of the size of the tuna stocks of the Atlantic, but the physical and biological conditions off the African west coast are generally similar to those in the major American Pacific tuna fishing grounds off the west coast of Central and South A- merica, and there appears to be a very strong probability that the new Atlantic fish- ing grounds can support a large-scale pro- duction on a continuing basis. AFRICAN OCEANOGRAPHY AND MARINE nSHERIES CONVENTION Specialists representing research insti- tutes on the west coast of Africa in the field of sea fisheries and oceanography, convened in Monrovia, Liberia, from December 5-10, 1960, to study proposals for implementing regional coordination and cooperation in oceanography and marine fisheries. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Scientific Council for Africa. The following governments were repre- sented by observers: Cameroun, Republic of Congo, France, Guinea, Liberia, and Ghana. Proposals were made by these specialists for a joint action program between research institutes and government departments con- cerned with research on the west coast of Africa. One or more oceanographic surveys are planned. An oceanographic and fishing expedition in the Gulf of Guinea has been proposed. Organizations outside Africa have expr
