Lund's 'Atlantic Prince' Lands First Catch Fri.

By JACK SMYTH "This is the future of the ^fishing business,'' said Warren O. Lund, vice president and general manager of Lund's Fisheries on Ocean Drive.

Lund was talking about the "Atlantic Prince," the biggest commercial fishing vessel operating locally, shortly after it returned to port Friday with its first haul of fish. Frozen in the hold were 10,000 pounds of squid and a similar amoiknt of mackerel caught in two days of fishing about 70 miles off the coast. The "Atlantic Prince" is the new kid in Cape May Harbor in more ways than one. And it is the only factory ship, or catcherprocessor, which means that tt can instantly freeze and pack catches as soon as they are hauled aboard. The huge size of the boat reflects its refrigeration capability, Lund said. Commanded by veteran skipper Capt. Harry Axelsson. of Erma, the "Atlantic Prince" will be used to catch such underutilized species as loligo and illex squid, mackerel, and butterfish which bring hordes of foreign factory ships to U.S. waters. Those species are in little demand on the domestic market, but have considerable demand in other countries. "TWO THINGS ARE apparent," said Lund. "There is a void in the market that is not being filled, and there are a lot of fish that are not being caught. We know the fish are there, and that there is a market. To meet it. we need a ship like this." Lund said the ship should catch 100 tons of fish working five days of the week. Until 1976, when foreign vessels were restricted from fishing within 200 miles of the U.S. coast, Lund said, 520 foreign factory ships were fishing off Cape May. In the wake to the 200-mile limit, the number has been reduced, to between 25 and 30. Lund said. The "Atlantic Prince" is equipped to transfer catches at sea to vessels of other countries. The squid and mackerel caught last week, however, were loaded into containers and taken to storage warehouses for shipment to their ultimate destination The two-day voyage last week was intended to test equipment. Lund said. "We had a few mechanical problems that we didn't expect," he said. Lund took delivery of the ship April 18, it was launched Jan. 10. in Moss Point. Miss. Built there by Halter Marine, the multi-million

dollar ship is powered by two 900- horsepower Caterpillar engines and accomodates 30 people. Crew sizes differ with what fish are being caught, Lund said. "If we are handpacking squid for the Japanese market we will have a crew of from 30 to 37," said Lund. The same if we are going after butterfish. But ' if we are catching bait squid for Canada, we'll use only 18 or 20 men."
