Abstract
Photograph of an acoustical transmitter being surgically implanted in a rainbow parrotfish (Scarus guacamaia) held just below the surface in the PUTS (Portable Underwater Talking Station) at a depth of 50 ft. The transmitter is in the left hand of Dr. Clarendon Bowman (the diver on the right side). The PUTS is a small house-like structure next to Hydrolab which has a pocket of trapped air that allowed divers to swim in and talk with one another without having to reenter Hydrolab. Hydrolab was an underwater laboratory located on the seafloor which allowed scientists to live and work underwater for extended periods of time. At the time of the photograph, Hydrolab was located at a depth of approximately 50 feet in Salt River submarine canyon, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Photograph by John C. Ogden
