ALASKA TRIES REFRIGERATED SEA WATER TECHNIQUE Paralleling the interest of the Southeast Alaska fishermen in refrigerated sea water systems for holding fish aboard vessels, Alaska equipment distributors are naturally keeping a watchful eye on the development. One enterprising Ketchikan merchant has gone so far as to construct a small demonstration unit. Seine-caught herring serve as samples. A stainless steel washing machine tank wrapped with copper tubing, insulation, a compressor, and a pump for circulation are the essen- tial components of this demonstration equipment for the application of the refriger- ated sea water principle for quality maintenance. ? D D D D a STUDIES ON METHODS OF IMPROVING HANDLING OF SCALLOPS AT SEA The U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, the Sea Scallop Industry, and the Massachusetts Divisions of Law Enforcement and Marine Fisheries have united in an effort to increase the "keepability" of sea scallops by the use of proper handling and icing practices aboard the vessel. Methods of improving the handling of fish aboard the vessel are being studied by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries under contract with the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, with funds provided by the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act of 1954. Patrick Walsh, who is presently employed under the terms of this contract, has made trips on several groundfish trawlers operating out of Boston. As a result a number of recommendations for increasing the keeping quality of fish have been made to the vessel owners of that port. Because of the success of this project in the port of Boston, the scallop indus- try has requested that Walsh go aboard scallop vessels and advise that industry of the latest handling and icing techniques. He will make trips on several scallop ves- sels to observe the handling and storing of the fish at sea. Recommendations will then be made to vessel
