. Commercial fisheries review. Fisheries; Fish trade. 16 On April 11, a 6-man team visited the Soviet Fishing Fleet Commander aboard the 'Robert Eihe,' about 50 miles off Norfolk, Va. Polish Vessel Enters Port On April 12, the Polish factory base ship 'Pomorze1 entered the port of Philadelphia, Pa., to take onfresh water and small amounts of food and fuel. She had only a small cargo of frozen and bulk salted herring on board. GULF OF MEXICO & SOUTH ATLANTIC The decline in vessels fishing flounder began in early April but, unlike previous years, withdrawals halted in mid-month. About 15 medium trawlers and 5 support ves- sels remained along the Continental Shelf edge south of the Pribilofs, a favored Alaska pol- lock fishing area. Sightings indicated that fishing had shifted from flounder to pollock. Herring fishing was sporadic. At month's end, only 5 medium trawlers and 1 processing refrigerator remained, north and west of .the Pribilofs, in central Bering Sea. No foreign vessels were reported fishing in April 1969. OFF CALIFORNIA Soviet: Four side trawlers, 14 stern trawl- ers, and 3 support vessels fished west of San Francisco, stretching 80 miles north and south. Pacific hake, rockfish, red snapper and black snapper catches were observed. (About the same number had fished here in April 1968. Many were the same.) OFF PACIFIC NORTHWEST Soviet: Seven stern trawlers, 13 side trawlers, and 5 support vessels were sighted. Except for 1 support vessel, all were off Oregon. (In April 1968, 54 Soviet fishing ves- sels had been sighted.) After mid-April, 1 stern trawler was ob- served with her deck bins filled with Pacific hake. Towards the end of the month, side trawlers took large quantities of hake. Some, fishing in pairs, landed an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 pounds for each tow. Individual side trawlers tows were estimated at 20,000 to 30,000 pounds. Japanese: One longliner was sighted off Oregon. On one occasion, the catch observed was almost entirely black c
