Chapter 5 could be divided into two parts: description of Doc and of his Western Biological. Western Biological is the place, where Doc catches and sells many kinds of creatures of the sea. The atmosphere in the Western Biological is described with humor, it's like a mess of the animals of the sea, furniture, pairing reproductions and food. Everything there goes in quite a strange way.
Doc is very educated person, actually the most educated person on Cannery Row (the only one apparently). He has a wisdom of life and he introduces people from Cannary Row to philosophy, science and art. He is also very helpful for people of Cannery Row, he helps them with his wisdom. Therefore, everyone who knows Doc is indebted to him and everybody is thinking of doing something nice for him.
