In 1936, the Japanese had between 9 and 32 vesseis im the skipjack tuna fishery at Falau each month. Menthiy catches ranged from 9.7 metric tans in February tc 779.4 metric tors im December, The number of fishing trips ranged from £6 in February te aS many as 412 ain Jure. Catch per trip varied from 0.3 metric ton in February tea 1.4 metric tone in November. The everace size of the skipjack tuna varied fram month ta month between 36 and fe cn. in 1936; in 1965-47, they ranged between 48 anc 62 cm. For all years in which size data were wamined, the average size tendsd strongly to increase in Oztober-January. 3 2 ia a-erage 31728 acccunts rcouenly fer the incresse in catch Fr S004 bs I
