*These baby
fish from Barkley Sound, British Columbia were taken and observed
by a series of cruises planned and designed by Dr. Daniel J. Faber
and conducted by John Dobrocky, Dobrocky Seatech, Ltd., Victoria, British
Columbia. The details of the contract were negotiated on John's kitchen
table when John first started his company, Dobrocky Seatech, Ltd. After
the specimens were collected, Sally Richardson kindly helped with
problem identifications. Sally Gadd, an illustrator,
in collaboration with Dr. Daniel J. Faber, carefully illustrated
these baby fish from Barkley Sound with a black pen on drawing paper;
then Darin Jay Faber, a graphic designer, digitized these
drawings with a Macintosh (TM) computer using
the program Photoshop (TM). The original black and white
drawings are being stored away from light in a museum-type black
box. The actual specimens illustrated in this Web site were lost
during moving operations within the National Museum of Natural Sciences.
The illustrations of these larval fish from Barkley
Sound, as shown in this Web site, were drawn with funds
from the National Museum of Natural Sciences (now known as the Canadian
Museum of Nature), Government of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario.
