Using a Sorting Table at Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery in 1949

Four men standing around a medium-sized table that features raised sides, and several small rectangular opens in the raised areas/walls (one opening on the each side of the length-sides of the table, and two each on the width-sides). They are using both hands to sort numerous small fishes in a shallow amount of water on the table. Two of the men standing on the right, and two on the left. They are in a hatchery building, and hatchery tanks and equipment may be seen in the background.
