The U.S Navy had positioned him to do this by sending him to Hawaii after recalling him to active duty as a Petty Officer Third Class when the Korean War started in 1950. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile at the University of Hawaii he was a good student but when offered a job as a biological technician with the U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries he said yes and started going to sea on the Bureau's small oceanographic research vessels. He studied the tuna species the laboratory was studying, especially the hearing ability of Yellowfin Tuna. He trained one to swim through a maze to get a reward after hearing sounds. After several decades as a marine biologist, Bob was seconded to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo as Fisheries Attache for three years. Bob's various jobs, at sea and on shore introduced him to many unusual events that have become the 28 episodes in this book, including several shark stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe hopes that his career will be a spur to young men and women not to wait if they wish to become a marine biologist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185974526201,"sku":"9780228818182","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/NjdBL01rZFh3b0VrM2UvSEhYNDdrZz09.webp?v=1767823625","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/swimming-with-fishes-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
