Biographical History
Theodore Merrell, a biologist for Fish and Wildlife, contributed a previous research and photo collection on the subject of the effects of nuclear testing on Amchitka and surrounding islands.
Theodore Reed Merrell, Jr., (Ted) was born in Superior, Wisconsin on June 12, 1923. He attended St. Olaf College until 1943, when he served in the Army during World War II. After the war, he completed a B.A. at St. Olaf in 1948 and a M.A. in Zoology and Fisheries at the University of Michigan in 1949. After serving six years as a fishery research biologist for the Oregon State Fish Commission, he became a Fishery Research Biologist at the Auke Bay Laboratory, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service, near Juneau, Alaska. During a period from 1969-1974 he represented the Federal Bureau of Commercial Fisheries on Amchitka during underground tests of the nuclear warhead for the proposed Spartan U.S. Anti-Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System. He reviewed research of the Atomic Energy Commission-sponsored ecological studies, monitored the activities of AEC contractors and recommended measures to minimize harmful impacts on the environment. He married Doreen Gillett in 1946 and they have four children: Ted III, Bruce, Susan and Melinda.
