The book concerns itself only with commercial fishing ships. These include the ships engaged in catching, processing, and transporting fish, designed to catch the fish, process them in part, or completely, and then transport their production to shore bases and to unloading ports. These ships make up the principal part of the self-propelled fleet belonging to the fishing industry. In 1964, for example, the number of fishing, processing, and transport ships totalled 75% of all ships assigned to the self-propelled seagoing fleet of the fishing industry, and these ships totalled over 80% of the total horsepower in that fleet. The book provides a brief historical outline of the development of the Soviet commercial fishing fleet and reviews established ship classifications and the accepted forms for the organization of the industry (in accordance with regions and fishing objectives). The book also provides a general description of individual types of ships, presents handbook-type materials on seagoing commercial fishing ships built in the USSR, as well as abroad, information on refrigeration installations, freezing, industrial, and technological equipment installed in these ships, information on the basic types of engines, fish-seeking sonar gear used in the fishing fleet, etc. Also included is the technique used to catch fish on a commercial basis, how the fish are processed and stored aboard the ships.
