This issue, Volume 37 for 1987 data, contains the most recent year of completed data
available to the Secretariat. The data were derived from STATLANT 21B reports by countries which
are subject to the Regulations of NAFO and by non-member states, which reported fishing operations
in the Northwest Atlantic during 1987. Data on quantities of fish and invertebrates are presented as
"nominal catches" (i.e . live weight equivalent of the landings) in metric tons, and data for seaweeds
are given as wet weight in metric tons. Catches of seals are given as numbers of animals. The
statistics are presented on a calendar year basis and by month, where applicable. The tabular
material in this issue was prepared directly from computer compilations, utilizing the Secretariat's own
IBM Compatible PC-NEC 386 with an NEC LC-890 Laser Silentwriter and printed at the Secretariat.

This issue of the Bulletin is set out with four parts: Part I contains summaries of catches of
selected finfish and invertebrate species by country and subarea for 1973-87; Part II contains the
statistics of nominal catches and fishing effort for 1987; Part Ill contains the seal catches and
hunting effort for 1987; and Part IV, contains corrections to previous issues of the Bulletin. In tables
where various groups of species are used, they are in accordance with those listed in the "Definitions
and Abbreviations". Further details of the tabular presentation of data are given in the text at the
beginning of each Part.

The delayed publication of this issue was due to the very late receipt of some
final statistics.

Following the publication of Vol. 27 in November 1979, the Secretariat
was informed of numerous errors in the fishing effort data reported by two
countries for 1977-81. The revised effort data affect a significant number of
effort records in ICNAF Statistical Bulletin Vol. 27 and 28 and NAFO
Statistical Bulletin Vol. 29-31. The Scientific Council of NAFO has
recommended that the Secretariat should issue revised editions of these
volumes as time and finances permit.

Of the five volumes to be revised, Vol. 30 was reissued in October 1984,
Vol. 29 was reissued in November 1984, Vol. 31 was reissued in March 1985, and
Vol. 28 was reissued in September1985. This volume (27) is the last of the
series that required revision. Recipients should discard the earlier edition
of this volume.

During 5-7 September 1984, the special session on "Biology and Ecology of Squids in the Northwest Atlantic" was held at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, with T. W. Rowell (Canada) and Ch, M. Nigmatullin (USSR) as conveners. Keen interest in the contributions and associated discussion prompted the participants to propose that the Scientific Council consider publishing all suitable papers in a single volume.

Of the 27 documented contributions, 15 papers and a bibliography were accepted for publication in this issue of Studies after critical review by one or both conveners and the editor, with the occasional assistance of other fishery scientists. The titles and available abstracts of the remaining 11 contributions, which were either not submitted or not suitable for inclusion in this volume, are listed on pages 171-175.

Following the pub1 ication of Statistical Bulletin Vol. 31 in September
1983, the NAFO Secretariat was informed of numerous errors in the fishing
effort data reported by two countries for 1977-81. The revised data affect a
significant number of effort records published in Table 5 of Vol. 27 to 31
but the nominal catch records remain unchanged. Since Table 5 constitutes
about two-thirds of an entire volume, the Scientific Council of NAFO
recommended that the Secretariat issue revised editions of these volumes as
time and finances permit. Meanwhile, computer listings of the revised data
may be obtained from the NAFO Secretariat upon request.

Volume 30, containing fishery statistics for 1980, and Volume 29,
containing statistics for 1979, were the first and second respectively of the
five volumes to be revised. Recipients should discard the earlier editions of
these volumes. Revised editions of the remaining three volumes will be
forthcoming in 1985 as time and finances permit.
