The vessel left port on November 8 for a six-day cruise, but it was forced to return to Boston on November 9. This vessel is being used by the Service's Branch of Commercial Fisheries in its freezing-fish- at-sea studies. The purpose of the cruise was to continue full-scale experimental freezing studies at sea, and test the freezing apparatus and refrigeration machjnery under rated capacity loads. In addition, experiments on containers in which fish will be frozen were to be carried out. Middle and South Atlantic Little Tuna Explorations SOME LITTLE TUNA SEINED BY "ATLANTIC EXPLORER" (Cruise No. 4): Two sets made by the Atlantic Explorer during Cruise No. 4 on rather poor surface showings of little tuna yielded 35 and 40 fish, respectively, or a total of 75 fish with an av- erage weight of approximately 13 pounds each. These explorations for little tuna in the Middle and South Atlantic area are being conducted on a cooperative arrange- ment between the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and two Beaufort, South Carolina, fishery firms. The Atlantic Explorer started exploratory fishing operations out of the More- head City, North Carolina, area on October 12 and temporarily terminated operations in this area on November 1. The weath- er throughout most of this pe- riod was unsuitable for purse- seining except in the lee of land, and even with offshore winds the search was neces- sarily confined to an area, with- in ten miles of shore from Cape COMPLETING BRA I LING OF A SET OF LITTLE TUNA ( EUTHYNNUS T nnknnf ho 'Rocne Tnl et Nor+h ALLET
