WAI SUI 1962 In 1962 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution leased fishing vessel Wai
Sui from Mr. Clyde J. Bristol, of Florida, to conduct experimental
fishing in the straits of Florida. The fishing was done mainly in
the Santaren and Nicholas channels in hope of learning the relative importance
of the two channels to the northward migration of the giant bluefin and
juvenile tuna. WHOI scientists hoped to discover why the fish were
found in such abundance in these waters.
