! Fisheries Vessel
Will Observe Russ
Fishing Fleet
SEATTLE, UP — The John N.
Cobb, exploratory vessel of the
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries,
will spend two weeks observing
the Russian fishing fleet in the
Bering Sea.
The Cobb is scheduled tenta
tively to leave Seattle next Thurs
day, said Lee Alverson, chief of
the bureau’s North Pacific Fish
eries Exploration and Gear Re
search.
Alverson said the assignment
was planned before the recent voy
age of the Jeannette F.
Both Russian and Japanese
fishing fleets were scouted by the
crew of the Jeannette F., Sattle
crab dragger, early this month in
the Bering Sea.
The primary mission of the
John N. Cobb is to carry scientists
to the Cape Thompson area in the
Alaskan Arctic. The scientists will
study fisheries in the waters where
a nuclear blast is planned in 1961
to create a new harbor.*
Most of the scientists will board
the Cobb at Nome.
“We will spend two weeks ob
serving the Russians, both prior
to and returning from the (Cape '
Thompson) area,” Alverson said.
“We are interested in the dis
tribution of (fishing) effort, forms
and types of intake and the gen
eral productivity of the area.”
The 93-foot Cobb has been
undergoing major repairs for the
past two months.
The vessel will return to Seattle
in about 60 days.
