"This is the fifth exploratory prawn charter carried out in remote unexploited areas of the B.C. coast. This survey covers offshore and inshore waters of the west coast of Vancouver Island, the west coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands, the east coast of Hecate Strait as well as some central mainland inlets. Two fishing vessels, the M/V STRIDER KING and the M/V BEOWULF, were chartered to carry out the exploratory survey. Inshore water exploration provided indications of promising productive prawn areas in Barkley Sound, Kyuquot Sound, and Princess Royal Channel. The offshore water exploration only indicated small quantities of prawns. However, inclement weather and too light a groundline led to a number of problems with the offshore fishing which may have contributed to the lack of success in this region"--Abstract, page iii.
