“The Soviet shrimp fleet in the Gulf of Alaska consisted of 12 medium freezer trawlers (SRTMs) operating on the shrimp grounds near Shumagin Islands. The fleet was supported by one refrigerated carrier. The flounder fleet in the outer Bristol Bay flats was being disbanded. Some of the participating vessels were transferred to the ocean perch fishing fleets, while others joined fisheries off Kamchatka. With the transfers to the Central Gulf of Alaska perch fleet, it is estimated that the remaining flounder fleet consists of 20 to 30 vessels.”
