Green, Seth

fish-culturist, born at Rochester, N. Y., March 19, 1817; received a common school education, and engaged in the fish and game busine . His innate love of natural history developed into an intimate knowledge of fishes and their habits, and this led to his invention of original methods for preservation and propagation which subsequently made his name a household word in this connection. He invented valuable hatching appliances and made the science of pisciculture one of practical busine ; its recent development is largely due to his efforts. G. was appointed one of the fish commi ioners of New York in 1868, and superintendent the following year. His published works include: Trout Culture; Fish-Hatching; and Fish Catching. Died Aug. 20, 1888.
