BLACKFORD, Eugene G., pisciculturist, born in Morristown, New Jersey, 8 August 1839. He was educated in the public schools and trained in mercantile life in New York city from the age of fourteen, and when about twenty-five years of age embarked in business as a fish-dealer in Fulton market. Through his efforts the red snapper, whitebait, pompano, and other varieties of fish were first introduced into the New York market, and the methods of freezing, shipping, and storing fish have been improved. He was appointed one of the four commissioners of fish and fisheries of the state of New York in 1879, and was instrumental in establishing .a hatching-station for sea and fresh-water fish at Cold Spring harbor, on the north shore of Long Island. He conducted an investigation into the decrease of oysters in the waters of New York, and has published papers on whitebait and the question of legislative protection of ocean fisheries.
