(Ed. note: This is a portion of the
report of Betty Hall, student in the
Kodiak school, on her trip through
the Research Department of the
ADF&G. We thought this might be
of interest to many of our readers
who are unable to visit this inter
esting display.)
On Wednesday, May 2, I went
with my 7-A class to the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game for
a field trip.
The first thing I saw was a dis
play of King Crab tags. This dis
play showed some of the earlier
methods of tagging the crab. This
was done with a plastic thread
which was tied to the back of the
crab shell by pushing a threaded
needle through the shell. A small
red or orange plastic disc was at
tached to the thread, and it gave
special information about the mi
gration of the crab. This method
was used from 1954 to 1956. A bet
ter method was using a two-holed
disc. This could be held on better,
and it stayed on the crab even dur
ing molting. This was used from
1959 to 1962. There were some ex
perimental tags that are being
tried out. If these prove successful,
they will eliminate having to tie
the thread to the shell, for there is
a single or double barbed end on
the tread. There is a small disc
attached to this also, for informa
tion.
From this display, I went to the
back room where Mr. Sheridan,
the Kitol Bay Research Station
manager, showed us some special
equipment. The first thing he
showed was a Hardy Plankton
Sampler. This was devised in Eng
land. It is a large metal tub which
has a small net inside it. The tube
is set down into the water and is
towed behind a boat going as fast
as 18 to 25 knots. The water rushes
into the front, the plankton is
caught in the net, and the water
rushed out through a hole in the
back. The plankton is taken to a
laboratory for research. Another
piece of equipment shown was the
Eckman Dredge. This is used to
collect samples of sand, dirt or
minerals off the bottom of a lake
or ocean. The dredge is let down
in the water to any depth, a mes
senger goes down and hits the re
lease and the dredge closes, col
lecting samples. The next tool was
a Bathythermograph. This is used
to tell the depth and temperature
of the water. A glass slide is put in
place, the openings are closed, and
the instrument is let down to any
depth up to 500 feet. Another in
strument is a colorimeter set
which determines the amount of
minerals, such as salt, in the sam
ple of water. The water is usually
brought up in water samplers.
There is a glass sampler and metal
one. These are sent down in the
water to any depth. Then a mes
senger is sent down to close the
sampler. The water samples are

studied and put to use.
Across the room were examples
of Heteromorphis, or King Crab
specimens that were different than
others. There were some crabs
with three or four pincers, and
some with two legs growing out of
a place for one. These crabs were
caught along with normal crabs.
In the kitchen is a large aquari
um equipped with an air-regulator
which supplies air to naturalize
the new conditions of environment
of the many native salt water spec
imens which are in it, with their
original habitat. Some of these
specimens are: spider crabs, sea
urchins, starfish, clams, seaweeds,
bidarkas, one shrimp, and a small
fish. On the counter are bottles
containing specimens such as a
skate, samples of small lake trout,
sand dollars, an octopus, a grunt
fish, baby king crab which look
like tiny shrimp and plankton,
which are tiny plants and animals
that are free-floating in the water.
Below the counter, where it can
be found easily is a dart game.
This should make a fun pastime,
but it seems there would be little
time, if any, for it, as it looks like
there are many interesting things
to be done.
At another end of the building
is a room in which a skin diving
display was placed. There are vari
out pieces of diving equipment
such as: air tanks, wet suits, fins,
masks, depthimeters, weights,
knives, spearguns and gloves. This
equipment is used for research for
Alaska Department of Fish and
Game purposes.
This field trip has given me a
new prospective of the Alaska De
partment of Fish and Game pro
gram, and its scope in furthering
the development of these natural
resources, which are so important
in the further development of our
state of Alaska.
