| Abstract: | This database is based on a collection of slides assembled by Donald Flescher, a fisheries biologist, now retired, who worked for the National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Center, Woods Hole, MA. The photos represent specimens collected during survey trawls of the continental shelf between Nova Scotia and North Carolina between the years of 1975 and 1986. The NMFS conducts regular surveys of these coastal waters aboard the vessels Albatross IV and Delaware II. Most specimens were photographed using a "dry" method primarily from the side. The collection of over 2700 slides has been divided into two sub-collections. Half was donated to the American Fisheries Society and the other half to the MBLWHOI Library. The current collection consists of images and accompanying reports completed by the photographer. These reports include camera and lighting information, location and date of the catch and photo and measurements of the actual specimen. The author also included the specimen number of a voucher specimen that is part of the fish collection at Harvards Museum of Comparative Zoology. [Information of the supplier, modified]; |
