Each year Japan employs about 700 different ships in her fisheries off Alaska. This fleet lands more than 3 billion pounds of fish, shellfish, and whales. It consists of fishing or catcher vessels and associated support ships, such as processing or factory ships, refrigerated transports, tankers, cargo ships, etc. Included in the fishing vessels are three types of trawlers, salmon and herring gillnetters, longliners, crab boats, and whale catchers. Some fishing vessels are especially designed for operations in the north Pacific and Bering Sea, while many are standard models used worldwide by Japanese fishermen. The trend in fishing vessels is toward larger units with all or most processing done aboard. Prompt processing or preserving is the keynote in all fisheries, and more Japanese fishing vessels are being designed for these purposes. (Author)
