Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 56, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 March 1918 — "Father of Fishes." [ARTICLE]

"Father of Fishes."

Probably the most famous of our fish culturists— by reason of his long service and remarkable success —was Seth Green, familiarly known as the “Father of Fishes.” His experiments began in 1864, and he discovered the so-called “dry method” of impregnation so extensively used in later-day practical trout culture. His early work was done in the Caledonia creek hatchery. The artificial propagation of shad in the Connecticut river was successfully attempted by Seth Green in 1867. —W. W.
