Green, Seth,
an American pisciculturist; born in Irondequoit, N. Y., March 19, 1817. To him is due the entire credit of having been the first to make the reproduction of shad possible. The Seth Green shad-hatching box was devised by him in 1867, and by its use the Connecticut river was restocked. In 1870 he became superintendent of the State hatchery at Caledonia, which position he held until his death in Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1888.
