Of the three vessels chartered for this year's operations, the Arthur H, Capt. Olaf Angell, and the St. Michael, Capt. M. J. Evich, both US ships, participated in last year's survey.
The third is the Canadian vessel Western Flyer, skippered by Capt. Charles Loftus.
In addition to its skipper and crew of three experienced trawl fishermen, each vessel will carry three temporary members of the Commission's staff.
Members of the Commission's permanent staff will also be aboard the vessels in a supervisory capacity when they leave Seattle this month. Until they return next December the vessels will operate out of Alaskan ports, at which permanent staff members will leave and join them for varying periods during the survey.

'Carina X Has Fine First Trip
The Carina 1, launched last March, made her maiden halibut voyage a paying proposition when she hit port May 24 with 90,000 pounds of halibut in her hold.
The trip, consisting of 50,000 medium at 28.5 cents and 40,000 large at 32.4 cents, was sold in Prince Supert.
Immediately afterward, the Carina 1 headed for Vancouver where she added four days to her normal layup time in order to clean up some of the finishing work that still remained when the vessel left for Area 3A to hit the May 9 opening.
But there was nothing wrong with the Carina's performance on her maiden trip under skipper Odd Tungehaug, her 43 year old owner.
LENGTH 69 FEET
The vessel, built by Mel Sather's Boat Works, is at 69 feet long, the largest he has built during the 10 years his popular shipyard has been operating. The Carina 1 has a 19 foot two inch beam and an eight foot draft.
She is powered by a Waukesha diesel from Northern Engine and Equipment of Vancouver. Her power plant develops 190 horsepower at 1600 rpm, and has a 4:1 reduction, driving a 52 by 38 inch propeller supplied by Sumner Brass Foundry Ltd., a long established Vancouver firm.
Auxiliary power for the vessel comes from a 40 hp Bolinder diesel, purchased from Northern Engine.
The vessel is completely hydraulic. Her main winch was supplied by Swann Machine Shop of Vancouver and her anchor winch by Ray Adams of New Westminster. Her steering gear was supplied and installed by Wagner Engineering of Vancouver.
Her electronic equipment, like the other features of the vessel, was selected for its practicality. It includes a 60 watt Marconi radiotelephone, an Ekolite herring model echo sounder, an ADN4 Loran and two station Mathers controls.
The Carina 1 carries 3,600 gallons of fuel and 1,100 gallons of water.
ROBERT ALLAN DESIGN
The vessel was designed by well known naval architect Robert Allan, whose name is associated with many vessels plying the waters off the coast of British Columbia.
She is a down to earth, highly practical vessel, not at all flashy nor elaborate but thoroughly serviceable for what she will be doing: longlining halibut and seining herring.
Owner Odd Tungehaug started in the BC fishing industry in 1940 after a couple of years in Norway's fishing industry.
Since then, he has fished halibut, salmon and herring. In 1956, he became a part vessel owner, purchasing the Pacific Wave with industry veterans Al Woie and Bob Ekrem.
He has been a member of the United Fishermen and Allied

Monofilament Ban Awaited
Monofilament nets are still legal in BC waters and will be until the federal cabinet passes an order in council banning the gear.
And there's not much chance of that happening until after Monday's election with cabinet ministers still weary after weeks of stumping the country.
Action on monofilament nets is not the only matter that is being delayed. Several departments are getting short of funds and other processes of government are being complicated by the election. But it has been ever thus.
In the meantime, monofilament nets can and are being used.
READY FOR ACTION
—Foto by Commercial Illustrators Looking mighty trim indeed is the Carina 1 in this picture taken prior to her leaving for the fishing grounds in early May. The vessel is 69 feet by 19 feet two inches by eight feet and is powered by a 190 hp Waukesha diesel. She performed well during her first trip and is now back out fishing Area 3A.
Workers Union and its predecessor United Fishermen's Federal Union since entering the industry. By virtue of his ownership of the Carina 1, however, he has become a member of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association.
But he will be fishing independently with no attachment to any fishing company, a relative rarity in the big boat section of the BC fishing industry.
STAVENES ON CREW
The crew on the vessel's first trip of her short career included UFAWU president H. (Steve) Sta.enes as engineer, Karsten Hammer, cook, and Alf Reite, Peder Berseth, Oho Vea, Axsel Stadsnes, and Cliff Likness.
Boat builder Mel Sather has been in business for 10 years, the Carina 1 making the forty-third and largest of the vessels that have gone down his ways during that period.
He entered the fishing industry about 1940, trolling, gillnetting, and packing. His last job was on the packer BC Rover—that was in 1951, his final year in the operating end of the industry.
The Carina 1 is the largest fishing vessel built in BC this season, which is ironical, since Mel
Sather's Boat Works is one of the smallest shipyards in the business.
But this newest vessel to join the big boat fleet has already proved her worth despite aggravating problems caused by the last minute
work that couldn't be done before she set sail.
This trip will be different, however, and with any luck at all, the Carina 1 will improve on her excellent first trip.
