Wooster (Scientific Head of the Expedition); Dr. Carl Hubbs (of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography); fish etc. found in ocean.; Caption slip reads: "Photographer: Scripss Inst. took for us -- our film. Date: 1952-08-29. Reporter: White. Assignment: Scripps Expedition. 42/S: 'Porky,' porcupine fish, brought back by Scripps Institution of Oceanography research vessel Horizon crew, is now pet at Institution's La Jolla headquarters. Holding him is Warren S. Wooster, scientific head of expedition, which found great mountain under sea, thousands of strange fish and other curiosities on 14,580 mile 'Shellback' operation. 'Porky' grabbed three other porcupine fish, shook them until they are about to fall apart. They are being fed sulpha drugs at the institution. 68/S: Dr. Carl Hubbs, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, holds a 'gulper' fish, its mouth is 100 times area of its skull. Specimen brought up on Institution research ship Horizon's 14,580 mile equatorial cruise. 67/S: Hey, Boy! This female Death Mask fish (first ever found) lures victims with tiny light above her mouth. Cotton has been placed in eye sockets to show location - sockets not used in anyway, nature puts Death Masks's pinpoint eyes outside sockets on fish's cheek! Male Death Mask bites into female's flesh, stays there all his life, her and his blood circulation becoming as one. Odd fish found 2/3 mi. down, 1200 m. West of Acapulco".

本数据集包含3张影像，拍摄于1952年8月29日的斯克里普斯海洋研究所（Scripps Institution of Oceanography）远洋科考航次。本次航次的科学负责人为沃伦·S·伍斯特（Warren S. Wooster），参与人员包括斯克里普斯海洋研究所的卡尔·哈布斯博士（Dr. Carl Hubbs），影像内容涵盖此次科考中于海洋中采集到的鱼类等生物。标注条注记如下："摄影师：斯克里普斯研究所为我方拍摄本影像；拍摄日期：1952年8月29日；记录员：怀特；任务：斯克里普斯科考航次"。42号影像：名为“波基”的刺豚（porcupine fish）由斯克里普斯海洋研究所“地平线号”（Horizon）科考船的船员带回，如今已是该研究所拉霍亚总部的宠物。手持这只刺豚的是本次航次的科学负责人沃伦·S·伍斯特，此次航次在总长14580英里的"Shellback"科考任务中，发现了海底巨型山系、数千种奇异鱼类与其他珍稀生物标本。“波基”曾咬住另外三只刺豚并剧烈甩动，直至它们几乎散架。目前研究所正为这些刺豚投喂磺胺类药物（sulpha drugs）。68号影像：斯克里普斯海洋研究所的卡尔·哈布斯博士手持一条巨口鱼（gulper fish），其口部面积可达头骨的100倍。该标本由研究所的“地平线号”科考船在14580英里的赤道巡航任务中采集获取。67号影像："嘿，伙计！"这是全球首次发现的雌性死亡面具鱼（Death Mask fish），它通过嘴部上方的微小光点引诱猎物。科研人员在其眼窝中放置了棉花以标注位置——实际上该物种的眼窝并无生理功能，其自然状态下的针尖状眼睛位于眼窝外侧的脸颊处。雄性死亡面具鱼会咬住雌性的肉体并终生附着，二者的血液循环将融为一体。这种奇特的鱼类发现于阿卡普尔科以西约1200米（即2/3英里）深的海域。
