See Downwind Expedition report (https://escholarship.org/content/qt3x99x09h/qt3x99x09h.pdf?t=qpatqj): "Four biological dredge hauls, using a large chain-mesh bag dredge were made: two on Nasca Ridge, and two on the narrow shelf of Easter Island. The one shallow dredge haul, on Nasca Ridge was taken on Horizon, while the deep dredge haul (1101 fathoms) was taken on Baird. Both Easter Island dredge hauls were accomplished aboard Horizon. The fish fauna from these and several of the geological dredge hauls have been turned over to Dr. Carl L. Hubbs. Some of the crustaceans, especially the Galatheids, were given to Mr. William Boyd of Scripps Institution for identification, and the brachiopods have been sent to Dr. Heinz Lowenstam of California Institute of Technology for identification and geochemical studies. The mollusks from the dredge hauls will be identified at Scripps."
