This issue of the Bulletin is set out with three of the usual four parts: Part I
contains summaries of catches of selected finfish and invertebrate species by country
and subarea for 1972-86; Part II contains the statistics of nominal catches and
fishing effort for 1986; Part III contains the seal catches and hunting effort for
1986. Part IV, if present, would contain 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.
