The vessel operated on the western and eastern sides of Great South Channel. Fish capture was observed with the camera positioned inside the belly of the trawl and between cover and cod end of a typical covered cod end rig used for se- lectivity experiments. Too few fish were found in water of the proper depth and clarity to provide good film records of behavior. Good progress was made in working out the details of camera positioning, however. ::^ :>;c 3$: :4£ :^ WHITING TAGGING (M/V Albatross HI Cruise 98): The tagging and collection of whiting (silver hake) was the principal purpose of this cruise of the Service's re- search vessel Alba- tross in. The New England Whiting (Merlucius bilinearls) which sailed from Provincetown, Mass., on July 14 and re- turned to Woods Hole, Mass., on July 19, operated four miles northwest of the Cul- tivator whistle buoy. A total of 21 tows were completed. A total of 1,094 whiting were tagged, 706 otoliths were taken, and 3,260 length measure- ments by sex were recorded. Cruise 100 on August 14 was a one-day demonstration trip for members of the New England fishing industry. ***** VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF OCEAN PERCH AND HADDOCK FRY SAMPLED IN GULF OF MAINE (M/V Albatross HI Cruise 99): Samp
