Piles of pollock to process on board NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson!

Fish are emptied out of the net and onto the table outside the fish lab. We can control how many fish land on the conveyor belt by raising the table and opening the door. The fish on the conveyor belt are separated by species. Pollock are gathered into baskets and weighed. We group the pollock into three groups; age 1, age 2 and age 3+. Each group as an entirety is weighed. Each age group has a somewhat different protocol for processing." - Julia Harvey
