The Prince of Monaco has also added largely to our knowledge of the habitats of the larger pelagic organisms by means of his pelagic trawl (Fig. 17), which is designed for Petersen young-fish Fig. 18.—C. G. Joh. Petersen's Pelagic Young-Fish Trawl. (From .Schmidt.) being towed horizontally through the water. In addition he, made some remarkable captures of large pelagic animals, chiefly cuttle-fish, by shooting whales and examining their stomach con- tents, for the whale is still far more capable of catching living marine creatures than any scientific appliance hitherto invented. The young-fish trawl designed by C. G. Joh. Peterser (Fig. 18) is a considerable improvement on the Prince 01 Monaco's pelagic trawl. It is very easy to construct, and may be of any size or mesh.
