Biography

Seth Green, born in 1817, was a pioneering fish culturist whose innovations in stocking trout raised the profile of the pastime and provided fresh fish to a growing nation. He opened one of the first hatcheries and shared his knowledge widely, ensuring fisheries science advanced beyond the immediate needs of sport.
