Soviet fishery Like the Japanese groundfish operations, the Soviet distant-water fishery also employs both catcher boats that deliver their catches to factory ships or to processing and freezing transport vessels and larger trawlers that process their own catches. The has perhaps utilized the fleet concept of fishing operations to a greater extent than any other nation (Pruter 1976). To enable the fishing vessels to operate at sea for long periods, they are closely supported by numerous other vessels, including base ships that carry fleet administrators and staff and provide logistic support; factory ships for processing catches; refrigerator transports to replenish stores and to receive, freeze, and transport catches to home ports; oil tankers, passenger ships, tugs, patrol vessels, and, occasionally, even hospital ships. Refrigerated transports are the mainstay of the support operations. The basic features of the Soviet fishing vessels are summarized in Table 60-6. The first commercial operation by the off Alaska, after exploratory work in 1957-58, was a fishery for flounders in the eastern Bering Sea begun in 1958. Like the Japanese, the Soviets have expanded their fisheries in effort, target species, and fishing areas. They have carried out three major groundfish fisheries in the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands: a flounder fishery in the southeastern Bering Sea, a rockfish fishery primarily in the Aleut- ian Islands, and a pollock fishery along the outer continental shelf and slope from immediately north of the eastern Aleutian Islands to northwest of the Pribilof Islands (Chitwood 1969; Forrester et al. 1978; Haskell 1964; Office of Enforcement and Surveillan
