Description:
Experimental fishing for flying squid (Ommastrephes bartrami) was continued in 1987 from both a Japanese vessel and a Canadian vessel in northeastern Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of British Columbia. Average squid catch rates (383 kg km-1) for the Japanese vessel was the highest obtained over the 3-yr experimental study period. Pomfret and blue shark remained the major by catch species, but as in 1986, marine mammal catch rate increased substantially over the previous year's level. A total of 90 marine mammals were caught by the two vessels combined, and while the average length of net required to catch one mammal was similar for the Canadian vessel over the past two years, catch rate increased (i.e., the average net length required to catch one mammal decreased) for the Japanese vessel in 1987.
