. Commercial fisheries review. Fisheries; Fish trade. Fig, 4 - Far removed from stormy seas, 7 Soviet vessels--from motherships to medium side trawlers--Dest together to transfer fish and cargo while another side trawler approaches to make delivery. The vessels belong to the Soviet herring fleet operating near St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea, and are anchored some 30 miles, or more, from the ice, but it is common practice for the ships to take shelter from seas and icing conditions by running inside the ice. All Soviet vessels in this winter fishery are reinforced for travel in pack ice.
