HERE'S A PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH! This remark- 

 ably photograph of small tropical fish caught at 

 Bikini gives an excellent suggestion of their bril- 

 liant coloring and varied patterns. To determine 

 the effect of the explosions on fish 'and other ma- 

 rine life censuses were taken before and after the 

 tests. Fish were caught by many traditional meth- 

 ods such as nets, spears, and tackle; but newly 

 developed techniques for poisoning fish were also 

 used in^ carefully limited areas. Rotenone was 

 placed in the current along the outer reefs, and 

 the fish gathered in as they came to the surface.
