Albatross IV 98-04 Part IV

4/14/98


Al98-04 4/14/98 Hag fish with eggs! Bongos and setting a trawl.

"The eggs are difficult to find.  They are almost never taken in deep-water dredging, even in beds where the fish are very numerous.  The United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross was out for three months in the spring of 1904, exploring the bottom of the Bay of Monterey, and in all that time only one egg was brought up by the dredge. ..."
