The 12-day otter-trawl cruise utilized a standard #41 net (headrope 100 feet, foot- rope 79 feet, 4^" manila mesh) with a 4|" synthetic cod end. All fishing was conducted on Georges Bank north of Cor- .f sair Canyon. The best catch during the trip was 4, 000 pounds of haddock taken â «;^ in 55 minutes. <( After-use data on the synthetic cod- end was collected throughout the trip. Measurements on the amount of stretch and subsequent regain were made on various portions of the cod end during fishing operations. All cod were examined for a cope- pod parasite whose frequency of occur- rence is presently under study by the Service's biological staff at Woods Hole. The 70, 500 pounds of fish brine-.

Approximate- ly 2,000 pounds of haddock was iced for comparative quality tests with the frozen fish. Frozen haddock and scrod will be distributed to industry for storage and han- dling tests. Distribution is being made in cooperation with the New England Ground- fish Industry Committee. The Delaware will resume exploratory fishing operations during cruise 57-7 scheduled to depart from East Boston on August 7. Scallop explorations and gear tests are planned primarily in the northeast peak of Georges Bank. This marks the c
