Proceedings Forty-ninth Annual Meeting 51 



I. Full Term Courses in Fish Culture. 



It is the consensus of opinion that a well equipped university, 

 by a properly selected course of study, may give everything neces- 

 sary for the student of fish culture except the practical work. 

 Therefore, at least four different classes of students may be 

 partly or wholly provided for, namely, those who would become 

 (1) Practical Fish Culturists, (2) Teachers of Fish Culture, (3) 

 General Investigators of Fish Cultural Problems and (4) Fish 

 Pathologists. 



All universities now offer courses in the fundamental subjects, 

 such as general biology, zoology, botany, physics, chemistry, etc. 

 In addition to these the committee suggests the following as being 

 essential to the proper training of students for the four classes of 

 work enumerated. The subjects considered most important are 

 placed early in the lists. 



A. For Practical Fish Culturists. 



Ichthyology. 



Limnology (aquatic zoology and botany). 



Principles of Fish Culture. 



Practice in Fish Culture. 



The Hydrology and Mechanics of Fish Cultural Problems. 



Animal Physiology. 



Principles of Nutrition. 



Genetics and Principles of Breeding. 



B. Teachers of Fish Culture. 



The subjects should be the same as for Practical Fish Culturist, 

 but the amount of practical work required may be advantageously 

 diminished. 



C. For General Investigator. 



Ichthyology. 



Limnology (aquatic zoology and botany). 



Principles of Fish Culture. 



Practice in Fish Culture. 



Hydrology and Mechanics of Fish Cultural Problems. 



Parasitology. 



Animal Physiology. 



Biochemistry. 



Principles of Nutrition. 



Embryology. 



Bacteriology (General and Pathogenic). 



Genetics.
