During the show, Bob Hitz discusses his years aboard the research vessel R/V John N. Cobb, the early era of U.S. exploratory fishing, and the dramatic rise and decline of the Pacific Ocean Perch fishery. His work captures a pivotal chapter in American marine research and Cold War maritime history.

The Rise and Fall of the Pacific Ocean Perch is available now in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats through the Sitka2 web site or on amazon.

For readers fascinated by marine science, ocean exploration, or the legacy of Northwest fisheries, Mr. Hitz’s story bridges the gap between history, science, and adventure.

Born in Bellingham, Washington, Bob Hitz served as a marine biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and later NOAA. His decades of research aboard the R/V John N. Cobb helped document the evolution of U.S. fisheries management and marine discovery. He can be reached at bobh@sitka2.com.
