International Fishery Congress

The International Fishery Congress was a series of conferences before World War I at which representatives of countries involved in the fishing industry exchanged views.

At both of these there were unsuccessful attempts to launch the publication of an International Review of Fisheries and Fish Culture as a vehicle for communication between scientists in different countries.

[5] In 1909 the United States Bureau of Fisheries hosted the fourth conference, which mainly discussed fish hatching.

[4] S.G. Worth of North Carolina presented a paper praising the freshwater grass shrimp as "a natural source of abundance and cheapness".

[8] Dr. Paul Reighard presented a paper discussing the planting of whitefish fry in the Great Lakes as a means of increasing the catch.
