Soviet fishery fleet partly transferred from the Gulf of Alaska to the Pacific Northwest in April 1966

The transfer of Soviet vessels to the fishery off the Pacific Northwest reduced the size of the Gulf of Alaska Pacific ocean perch trawling fleet to about 70 vessels in mid-April. By month’s end the Gulf fleet operating from Yakutat to Portlock Banks was again built up to about 100 vessels apparently by transfers from the disbanding Bristol Bay flounder fleet.
