Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of a photographic measuring device developed to accurately measure fish. This device, a technological marvel of its time, was designed to aid the work of the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission in understanding the subtle differences between salmon races and differentiating North American from Asian stocks. The author meticulously details the device's construction and intricate workings, including its base and framework, the strobe light and power pack, the camera assembly, and the innovative automatic features.

The author offers a rigorous analysis of the scientific principles behind the device's operation, providing a comprehensive understanding of its accuracy and potential for future development.
