Abstract

Scientific fish nutrition in North America probably began when Clive McCay and his graduate student, Abe Tunison, moved from Connecticut to start the first fish nutrition laboratory at Gracie Springs, halfway between Cortland, New York, and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. This early venture was a cooperative effort among Cornell University, the New York State Conservation Department and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The first communication from this Corland Hatchery Reports series in 1932 stated that the first trout nutrition experiments were started by Abe Tunison on 24 August 1932 and included ‘metabolism’ studies on chemical balance for improving fish diets ( McCay 1933 ). Art Phillips joined the group in 1936 and shortly thereafter, as the US Fish and Wildlife Service member, became director of the Cortland Fish Nutrition Research Hatchery (Fig. 1) . Clive McCay continued to represent Cornell University, and Ernie Rodgers was the New York State representative on the team. Work focused upon nutritional requirements and diet development for brook ( Salvelinus fontinalis ), brown ( Salmo trutta ) and rainbow ( Oncorhynchus mykiss R ) trout, the important species in the eastern USA.
