Abstract
Federal resources have been used to subsidize exploratory trawling beyond t he edge of the continental shelf by refitted New England fishing vessels. P otential targets include deepwater species of fishes, decapod crustaceans, and cephalopods. The first eight cruises of the F/V CONTENDER captured 18 s pecies of cephalopods in 12 families, including four octopods, 11 oegopsid squids, one myopsid squid, and two sepiolids. One additional species of oeg opsid squid was collected by jigging from F/V PERSEVERANCE. Of all the spec ies captured, only jigging for Ommastrephes bartramii has much potential fo r development of a directed cephalopod fishery. Published by Elsevier Scien ce B.V.
