"Big Eyes"Uploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: 1149009284 File Size: 33654 Comments: 0 / Views: 492 Description: 5/22/06 - The “Big Eyes” sit outside, on top of the bridge. It is a set of really powerful binoculars mounted on a stand. A very kind, very helpful crewmember from the bridge showed us the Big Eyes one chilly afternoon. |
What can you see?Uploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: 1149008637 File Size: 47241 Comments: 0 / Views: 493 Description: 5/23/06 - This is a rock that was pulled up a vanVeen grab. How many and what kinds of critters can you see? These are quite a bit different from the clams, snail, and brittle stars that we pulled from the muddy bottoms south of St. Lawrence Island. | ||||
Not really a fishUploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: 1149008603 File Size: 72097 Comments: 0 / Views: 538 Description: 5/22/06 - I’ve noticed that the scientists are calling this animal a sea star. You might be used to calling it a starfish. It is not really a fish at all. It doesn’t have gills or even bones like a fish. It is an echinoderm and is related to animals like sea urchins and brittle stars. Did you know that if a sea star loses an arm, that it could grow a new one? |
ShrimpUploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: 1149008457 File Size: 17166 Comments: 0 / Views: 499 Description: 5/22/06 - I used to think that shrimp only live in warm, salty water like where I live in North Carolina or on the Gulf Coast near Mississippi and Alabama. But, now I know that a couple of different species of shrimp can grow in the freezing cold salt water of the Bering Sea too. How are shrimp classified in the animal kingdom? |
Gnarled Old HermitUploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: 1149008398 File Size: 47907 Comments: 0 / Views: 489 Description: 5/22/06 - This hermit crab is actually kind of a big guy. What is all that white bumpy stuff on his shell? He is covered with barnacles. They have made their home on the outside of his shell and body. The barnacles get to filter feed on any detritus he might stir up in the sediment. How do the barnacles benefit the hermit crab…or do they? |
Cool WormUploaded by: Samantha_Dassler_Barlow On: 1149008285 File Size: 46815 Comments: 0 / Views: 483 Description: 5/22/06 - This scaly creature may look like a chiton at first, but when you turn it over, you can see that it is actually a scaled, polychaete worm. It has setae like segmented worms, not a big muscle foot like a chiton which is a mollusk. Do you know what phylum and class it belongs to? | ||
Final PictureUploaded by: Ruth_Cooper On: 1149005312 File Size: 58385 Comments: 0 / Views: 541 Description: NOTICE THE PINK CAMERA BAG THAT CAPTAIN IS HOLDING! AND NO, THAT IS NOT BLOOD TRAILING FROM LIP, IT IS A TWIZZLER! | |||||
