Peak of a submarine mountain rising from the deep bed of the ocean, Christmas is only 60 square miles in area. its popula- tion is about 1,500. The majority are Chinese and Malays who mine the island's phosphate. It contains one of the world'sl largest known deposits of high-grade phos- phate. More than a million tons are ex- ported annually. Its reserve is estimated at 30 million tons. Temperatures never drop below 75 or rise above 84 on Christmas. Thick tropical undergrowth flourishes be- neath coconut and sago palms. There are no wild beasts and only a few harmless reptiles. Large red "robber" crabs which range the island, always in groups, are it major problem, however. They climb and feast on the palms and will even attack a man. '

Of the world's food supplies only about 1076 of its animal protein derives from the waters although these occupy 757a or more of its surface. This directs attention upon the question of whether the seas. lakes and rivers could yield much greater quantities of food and whether it would be possible to secure an increase in fish production proportionately much greater
