Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the research conducted by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory in Honolulu, from 1964 to 1965. The research detailed in this volume focuses on the sensory capabilities, behaviors, and habitats of various species of tuna. Utilizing innovative methods, the author successfully maintained live tunas in laboratory tanks, allowing for the first measurements of visual acuity and hearing capabilities for any of the tuna species. This book also delves into the swimming speeds of tunas while at sea and introduces new sonar technology that will allow researchers to track individual fish and fish schools underwater. The author explores the existence of subpopulations based on the discovery of a new blood typing system, and analyzes the data collected on blood samples from throughout the Pacific. Additionally, the author examines the skipjack and albacore fisheries, providing valuable insights into the distribution, migration patterns, and spawning grounds of these commercially important species. The book goes beyond presenting evidence by proposing hypotheses on the origins of the skipjack caught in the eastern Pacific and Hawaiian fisheries, suggesting they may originate from the same equatorial waters. Notably, the author underscores the importance of understanding the mechanisms that affect year-class strength in the central Pacific as a potential indicator of future eastern Pacific catches. Overall, this book offers a diverse and in-depth exploration of the biology and fisheries related to tunas. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the latest findings from the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory in Honolulu, covering the period 1965-1966. It focuses on research conducted in the central Pacific Ocean, exploring the distribution, abundance, and biology of tuna species in this region. The research detailed within utilizes innovative techniques like continuous-transmission, frequency-modulated sonar and a two-man submarine to study subsurface tuna schools and observe the deep-sea environment. The findings provide valuable insights into the potential for expanding Hawaii's tuna fishery and contribute to the broader understanding of tuna populations in the Pacific Ocean.
