Abstract: This brief report presents salient facts concerning fisheries and other pertinent conditions in an area long closed to all but Japanese nationals. The report is based on data from "Survey of the Fisheries of the former Japanese Mandated Islands," prepared by the author as a member of the United States Commercial Company's Economic Survey, plus such general information as seemed necessary to round out the picture. Persons interested in the complete report should apply to Pacific Ocean Div. U.S.C.C. 1625 K Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. The Economic Survey was undertaken by USCC at the request of Commander Marianas, and under authorization from Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet, during the period May 2 to August 31, 1946. All phases of native economy were examined by appropriate specialists assigned from USCC, other Government Departments, the University of Hawaii, and the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu. In such a cooperative enterprise, grateful acknowledgment for services rendered is due all hands, but especially to Mr. Anthony AkL of Honolulu who, as assistant to the fisheries specialist, contributed in major degree to this section of the Survey.
