December 1955 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIEW 21 on California's Department of Fish and Game studies of the population, growth rates, and migratory habits of the albacore. Additional experimental work was perform- ed on tags colored pink, blue, and white to determine if the color has any relation- ship to recovery success. The area of operations extended from 40 miles WSW. of San Martin to 125 miles SW. of the Farallon Islands. The surface water temperatures at points albacore were caught ranged from C. (59° F.) to ° C. ( F.). Other observations and activities included: 1. Recording daily weather and sea condition, including barometric pressure, depth and color of water, and air temperatures. 2. All albacore were caught by trolling different kinds of lures. The most effective were yellow and green and red and white feathered jigs and light-green rubber squids. Salted anchovies were used to attract the schools of fish to the jigs. 3. On August 5, approximately 40 miles NW. of San Clements Island, 5 whales were sighted. Also in the same area (water temperature 63 F.) there were nu- merous Velella lata on the surface of the water. 4. Between October 8 and 10 a group of 15 to 20 whales were sighted 130 miles SW. of the Farallon Islands. They were tentatively identified as Cans--Shipments for Fishery Products, January-October 1955 Total shipments of metal cans for fish and sea food during January- October 1955 amounted to 91, 356 short tons of steel (based on the amount of steel consumed in the manufacture of cans), compared to 92, 468 short tons for the sajne period last year. Shipments of metal cans for fishery products increased sharply inOctober 1955. Note: Statistics cover all commercial and captive plants knowii to be producing metal cans. Reported in base boxes of steel consumed in the manufacture of cans, the data for fishery products are converted to tons of steel by using the factor: 23
