Fishing and support vessels sighted fluc- tuated from about 6 to over 20; most fishing was north and south of San Francisco. Al- though the number of sighted vessels fluctu- ated, that of large stern trawlers kept in- creasing (from none at beginning of April to 11 at the end). This indicated a rapidly grow- ing fishing effort (average catch of large stern trawler is 5-6 times larger than aver- age Soviet medium trawlers). Early in April, 5 medium trawlers ac- companied by a support vessel fished about 22 miles west of Half Moon Bay (south of San Francisco). By mid-April, however, 20 Soviet fishing and support'vessels were sighted in about the same location; they were identified as 15 medium side trawlers and 1 large stern trawler, accompanied by 4 (un- identified) support vessels. The vessels were heavily concentrated in a 5-mile radius and, reportedly, were taking good catches of rock- fish and Pacific hake at depths of 200-300 meters'(650-1,000 feet). Another large stern trawler, the "Skry- plev," which explored off Mexico in March 1967, was sighted 38 miles off San Clemente Island on Tanner Bank (southwest of Los Angeles); jshe was obviously engaged in ex- ploratory fishing, presumably for Pacific Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
