NO EFFECT ON FISHERIES
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-It's very improbable" that the Navy's atomic bomb test at sea will have any serious effect on the great fisheries of the Pacific, Dr. Ira N. Gabriel son, Director of the Government s Fish and Wildlife Service said today.
 Its our belief" he told report CT, that there are no major fisheries close enough to the Bikini atoll, site of the tests, to be disturbed to any serious degree"
 Gabrielson said the nearest major fishery to the Bikini Atoll was tuna migration which is consider ably to the south and far enough removed, we believe, to escape distur- bance."
