Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Sea and River: Research at the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Biological Laboratory, Seattle, Washington, 1966-68 As the 1960's draw to a close, man is focusing his attention on the resources of the sea. Although production of marine minerals is increasing, the world's fisheries still give the greatest economic yield from the sea. Our country has less than 7 percent of the world pop alation; we capture only 4 percent and consume about 12 percent of the world catch of fish. We are the world's largest market, but our vessels supply only 30 percent of the u.s. Demand for fishery products. Demographers predict that the population of the United States Will grow to 350 million by the year 2000. More food will have to come from the ocean. But increased harvests will be possible only if our fishing industry is strengthened and the resources, partie ularly underutilized stocks of fish, are developed.
