OFF CALIFORNIA No foreign fishing vessels sighted. On January 26, a BCF scientist boarded the Soviet research vessel 'Ogon' in Los Angeles Harbor, Ogon is participating in a joint survey of Pacific hake larvae off Baja California. OFF PACIFIC NORTHWEST (Fig. 2) Soviet: No vessels observed (none in Jan. 1969). Japanese: 3 longliners--2 off Washington, 1 off Washington and Oregon (1 in Jan. 1969). One longliner off Oregon caught sablefish with an estimated 75% success (percentage of hooks with fish attached). A longliner off Washington had only an estimated 15% suc- cess. OFF ALASKA (Fig. 3) Japanese: Between 40 and 45 vessels (10 fewer in December 1969; about same number in January 1969). Twenty-five stern trawlers and 2 refrigerated transports fished herring in central Bering Sea; 1 stern trawler fished ocean perch in Gulf of Alaska; 1 factoryship fleet took flatfish in eastern Bering; 2-4 long- liners took sablefish in eastern Gulf; 5 stern trawlers fished groundfish in eastern Bering. Soviet: Vessels increased in January for 3rd consecutive month, from 100 to nearly 190 (40% more than at end of January 1969). Herring: 45 medium side trawlers, 40 stern trawlers, and 30 support vessels north of Pribilofs in central Bering. After mid- month, average daily catch per vessel was 25 to 30 metric tons. Some BMRTs took over 60 tons a Fig. 3 - Soviet & Japanese fisheries off Alaska, January Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original
