Results are given of a study of the ocean currents over Plantagenet Bank, Bermuda from 1 to 15 August 1961. These currendata, presented as central vector plots, hodographic plots, and progressive vector diagrams, reveal influences due to winds, thermal stratification, and bottom friction superimposed upon a net south-southeasterly flow. The current in the southern region of the Bank was clearly rotary and displayed somewhat irregu lar characteristics which were apparently associ ated with eddy turbulence. Obvious tidal influ ences were not revealed. (Author).
Cruise no. 126 of the Albatross III was planned and conducted to gather information about the distribution of fishes across the Continental Shelf from Nantucket Shoals to Cape Hatteras during the late winter period when water temperatures generally are at their minimum. The shelf here has a general hydrographic similarity from north to south, well described by Bigelow (1933), that makes it a particularly worthwhile area in which to study the relation of fish distribution to water temperature, depth, and other factors of the environment. Since the fish of this portion of the shelf support several different, relatively important food and industrial fisheries, as well as an intensive marine sport fishery. Cruise no. 126 served to provide data valuable to several research programs.
