FISH . . for study
As long as men have been catching
fish, little is really known about
their life and habits. How do they
behave under water? We can't see
much more than a few inches below
the surface of the sea. Who eats who
in the struggle for existence that
?oes on in the ocean's depths? Nobody
knows for sure, but a great
scientific laboratory for the study cf
living fish of all kinds has been established
in Florida, and we are en
the way totfard learning more about
:he hidden life under water.
At Marineland on Florida's East
Ooast half a million dollars has been
soent to build a miniature ocean.
Two great connected tanks holding
nearly a million gallons of filtered
sea-water have been built. They
have windows along the sides and
the bottom through which the behavior
of marine animals can be
studied and photographed at close
.-4
range.
When I visited Marineland in
April there were dozens of sharks
of different kinds and sizes, a big
sawfish, innumerable smaller fish,
crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans,
seals and porpoises all living
