A precise gazetteer of where collecting stations were located during mid‑century exploratory fishing cruises. This edition standardizes geographic names for the Oregon, Silver Bay, Combat, and Pelican vessels from 1950–1965 and shows how to locate stations by place, ocean region, or country.
The book frames the scope as western Atlantic work, including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and areas off Panama.
