	ALBACORE
		The distribution of albacore is cosmopolitan in subtropical and temperate waters of all oceans.
		Albacore tend to aggregate on the warm side of upwelling fronts and move away from the fronts upon their disintegration in response to wind shifts unfavorable for upwelling.
		It is presumed that albacore aggregate in the vicinity of upwelling fronts to feed on small fishes, squids, and crustaceans that are plentiful in these areas.

	USS Albacore National Historic Landmark Nomination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		USS Albacore, (AGSS-569), is constructed of welded low-carbon STS steel to a novel design developed from research begun in 1944 into hull forms based on "bodies of revolution." Hull forms of this design have a round cross section everywhere along their length.
		Albacore was designed to be a true submarine, in which surface characteristics are subordinated to underwater performance.
		Albacore entered Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for conversion to Phase III configuration in November 1960 and emerged in August 1961 with a radical new "X" shaped stern plane arrangement, dive brakes around her middle, a large rudder behind the sail, and a new bow dome housing BQS-4A active sonar and BQR-2B passive sonar for testing.

	Oregon Sea Grant - Albacore Tuna
		Albacore tuna is one of the premium fish in waters off the Pacific Northwest.
		In the Northwest, albacore usually are landed by troll boats, which rapidly pull (or troll) 10 to 20 lines through the water.
		Albacore trollers preserve the fish with either ice or mechanical refrigeration because albacore most often are found 50 or more miles from shore—a distance that forces the boats to stay out several days at a time.

	Albacore
		The Albacore was built to demonstrate the capabilities of the streamlined hull and was regarded an experimental boat.
		Being an experimental boat, the Albacore was used to test several other submarine innovations: sail rudder, dive breaks, X-tail aft rudders, counter rotating screws and drag reduction by injecting drag reduction polymers from the nose of the sub.
		Sail of the Albacore showing the innovative sail rudder that was intended to compensate the roll of the boat during sharp turns.

	USS Albacore Final Move 1985
		Albacore moved reluctantly into her cradle in the new museum just outside the city.
		The ship had to be moved sideways as well and the tail got stuck in the mud at a critical juncture, but by blowing the ballast tanks the sub reached its destination for the winching to begin with only minutes to spare in the Pisctaqua high tides.
		A small canal was finally designed around the sub, filled with water, and the USS Albacore floated its last few yards to the site where it resides today -- a memorial to the ingenuity of its original designers, builders and crew.

	Hooked on Albacore Fishing
		Albacore are tuna, and all tuna are shaped for speed -- their tails are totally streamlined, and you have to be strong to gain line on them.
		Besides albacore and other tunas, there is marlin, of course, and mahi-mahi, which is a top water jumper, and there's ono, a barracuda-like fish, that might be the fastest swimmer of them all.
		Albacore spawn in the middle of the Pacific, south of Hawaii.

	Protecting Pacific Albacore Populations
		In the case of the Pacific albacore tuna fishery, trollers using hook-and-line jig gear harvest some of the surface-swimming albacore in the 3 to 5 year classes (i.e., "troll-caught" albacore), while other fishing gears target older, larger albacore from much deeper waters.
		Since albacore do not swim in tightly formed schools and spread out from one another, each must be caught individually rather than in groups (i.e., with encirclement nets).
		Both younger and older Pacific albacore tuna are harvested; harvesting some of the younger albacore provides not only food for consumers, but also critically important data to better monitor and manage the overall albacore harvests over time.

	USN Ships--USS Albacore (AGSS-569)

	USS Albacore -- A Revolution by Design
		While Albacore's top speed is still classified, she held the undersea speed record even after the Skipjack class became operational - and they were rated, unofficially, at 30+ kts submerged.
		Even while the Albacore continued her work, a new generation of attack submarines were under construction using many of the advancements she had tested in phase I. In May 1956, the construction of the U.S.S. Barbel, first of a three-boat class, began.
		Her final resting place is almost a quarter mile inland from the river and the journey required dismantling 30 feet of a railway trestle, carving out a 70 foot portion of a four-lane highway, and raising the boat 27 feet from the level of the river.

	False albacore fishing can be fun - Maryland Beachcomber - delmarvanow.com
		Just like bonito, false albacore are small members of the tuna family, an attribute in itself that should give anglers a heads-up that these fish will always give an excellent account of themselves whenever they're hooked.
		False albacore are fast and strong, and even though they'll average only 8 to 12 pounds, on light tackle they offer a superb fight.
		False albacore are caught off Delmarva all summer long but it's typically the late summer and into the fall that their numbers explode.

	All About Albacore
		Albacore are sometimes called "longfin tuna" for their distinctive extra long pectoral fins.
		Something like 90% of all albacore are taken in water between 62 and 67 degrees F. I recently discovered this fact in my research but my personal experience had already taught me that if the water wasn't within a degree or two of 65, there weren't going to be any albacore caught.
		Albacore are caught by trolling in likely tuna feeding areas especially over offshore banks until a school is located, then fly lining with live bait.
