Cohb, Fish and Wild- life Service vessel, is scheduled to jleave Seattle March 7 on an ex- ploratory cruise in the inland waters of Southeast Alaska in the general area of Juneau to determine if concentrations of shrimp or ofher| shellfish are in quantities sufficient | 3 to support a commercial fishery in| these waters. | The second objective of the cruise | is to ascertain the extent and size of the shrimp and other shelfisn populations. Waters to be explored include Icy Strait, Lynn Canal and adjacent waters. ] Several types of gear will be, | fished including beam trawls and! | shrimp and crab pots. Otter trawls | will also be employed as a means of sampling the bottom life. Trawl- ability of the bottom will be ascer- tained by use -of recording fath-~ ometer tracés, Oceanographic! and other scientific observations will be made at each fishing station. Con- tinued experiments on freezing and canning shrimp at sea will be carried out by members of the staff of the Fishery Products Laboratory at Ketchikan. The present cruise is; the third| one in this series to conduct she!l-| fish explorations. The second cruise | of the John N. Cobb from October | 30 to December 9 included Tenakee Inlet, Freshwater Bay, Hood Bay, | Peril Strait, Salisbury Sound, and | inshore and offshore grounds in; the neighborhood of Sitka.
