This was the first time the Soviets had fished shrimp near the Shumagins since the contiguous fishery zone was effected in March 1967. Japanese: Fishing effort--125 to 130 ves- sels--remained relatively stable. About 5 stern trawlers fished ocean perch along the Shelf edge, principally in the east- ern Gulf. This was the only known Japanese ocean perch fishery in the Alaska region. Ten stern trawlers, 2 medium trawlers, and 1 refrigerated transport fished herring in central Bering Sea during first 2 weeks of April. Then, much like the Soviets, the Jap- anese reduced effort, and withdrew from the fishery during the third week. About 4 stern trawlers fishing groundfish along the Shelf edge, in eastern and central Bering Sea, had increased to 10 and 1 re- frigerated transport by month's end. The ad- ditional vessels had come from the abandoned herring fishery. Catches, mostly pollock, in- cluded small amounts of sablefish, arrow- tooth flounder, and ocean perch. Three minced meat and meal factoryship fleets remained along the Shelf edge, north of the Fox Islands in the eastern Aleutinas, through mid-month. In late April, they moved north onto the Shelf, northeast of Unimak Is. At month's end, a fourth fleet of about 15 vessels was nearing the eastern Bering Sea fishing grounds. Two factoryships, with 30 tangle-net and pot-fishing trawlers, fished tanner and king crab north of the Alaska Peninsula. As be- fore, Japanese crab vessels often mingled with their Soviet counterparts. Three to 5 longliners fished sablefish in the Gulf off southeastern Alaska. In late April, 2 longliners were north of Fox Is. in eastern Aleutians. A third was along the Shelf edge west of Pribi
