Caption from Oceanus online article image slideshow:
Fish scales from assorted Northeast fish species, dating back to the 1930s, are stored at a NOAA warehouse in Pocasset, Mass. The facility also preserves samples of otoliths (ear stones), stomachs, spines, and opercula (bony flaps that protect gills) of fish, as well as shells of clams and scallops.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, vol. 50, no. 2, page 35:
A NOAA facility in Pocasset, Mass., preserves a wide range of specimens collected in annual fisheries surveys. It includes haddock scales (top), which WHOI biologist Joel Llopiz (right) is examining to unravel changes in the ocean ecosystem and fisheries on Georges Bank.
