Caption: Workers from the Hammond Bay Biological Station have traps set in two rivers, in the Cheboygan area. Both traps are set to catch Lamprey eels who are traveling up stream to spawn. To go with Campbell story. I will send in names of all the people in the pictures. The id's are at home. But I do have other information.1. Jim Seeley (spy) station chief of the Hammond Bay Biological Station, shows how a lamprey attach them self to prey fish.2. ???? ????? shows the size of a eel he has taken from the mid river trap in the Ocqueoc river. The bridge over the river is U.S. 23.3. ???? ???? carries a milk can full of eels from the trap in the Ocqueoc river. They have two traps set in Ocqueoc, one in the middle of the river, one along the shoreline. They also have an electronic barrier stretched across the river which sends out electricity to stop the eels, and other fish, from going upstream.4. ???? ???? lets ???? ???? know the markers on some of the fish they have removed from the Ocqueoc river. They attach a colored marker to some of the eels and release them so they can follow the eels traveling.5. ???? ???? and ???? ???? empty the trap net in the center of the Ocqueoc.6.
