RESEARCH STAFF 



Of 90 employees at the Fishery-Oceanography Cen- 

 ter, 23 are scientists, 40 are technicians, 9 are in the 

 administrative offices, and 18 man the Center's vessels. 



The research staff thus forms more than two-tliirds 

 of the total, and is organized into four programs: 

 Fishery-Oceanography, Population Dynamics, Behavior- 

 Physiology, and Operations Research. These programs 

 represent a considerable reorganization from the previous 

 arrangement, and witiiin the four programs are elements 

 from the 8 or 10 programs of the original laboratories. 



Also housed in the Fishery-Oceanography Center 

 is the research unit lieaded by E.H. Ahlstrom, a Senior 

 Scientist of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries; this unit 

 studies the taxonomy and zoogeography of larval fishes 

 in the Pacific Ocean. 



Supported by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries 

 at the Fishery-Oceanography Center are the STOR scien- 

 tists and (to a variable extent) a number of visiting scien- 

 tists; from overseas, from universities, on sabbatical leave; 

 from the National Science Foundation; and from other 

 organizations. 



The work of these scientists will be referred to later 

 in this report; the scientists, and tlieir organizations are 

 listed here.
