ABSTRACT 

 The accomplishments of the Technological Lab- 

 oratory for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1967, 

 are described. They include work on the: protec- 

 tion of frozen salmon by antioxidants, development 

 of packaging techniques for air-shipping live Dun- 

 geness crabs, use of condensed phosphates for im- 

 proving the water-holding capacity of fresh fish 

 fillets, utilization of fish oil for industrial and food 

 products, relation of flavor to post mortem break- 

 down of nucleotides in fish and shellfish, and studies 

 on the radiation preservation of fishery products.

ABSTRACT ■ 

 Primary emphasis of the research was on (1) 

 salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) in the North Pacific 

 Ocean and the Columbia River Basin and (2) 

 groundfish on the Continental Shelf of the Pacific 

 Northwest. Considerable progress was made to- 

 ward showing how the distribution of salmon is 

 related to the ocean environment. Biochemical tech- 

 niques showed promise in pinpointing genetic and 

 geographic differences in stocks of fish. To gather 

 the data needed for managing the salmon stocks, 

 integrated studies were made of ocean growth, mor- 

 tality, maturation, and effects of gear on salmon. 

 Research in the Columbia River Basin provided new 

 information on how dams and reservoirs affect 

 salmon and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) ; 

 studies were made to measure and to develop ways 

 to counteract the losses of fish. Groundfish research 



disclosed differences in Pacific hake (Merlucmis 

 prodiictus) stocks of Puget Sound and the Conti- 

 nental Shelf. Publications and staff of the labora- 

 tory are listed.

 ABSTRACT 

 This illustrated paper describes the equipment, 

 design, and operation of the 9,300 ft.'' sea-water 

 experimental aquarium. The Appendix lists the re- 

 search reports resulting from work performed since 

 this facility began operation in 1965.

ABSTRACT 

 Hydrographic data were collected during ecologi- 

 cal studies made from January 1958 through De-
