Historical NoteReturn to Top
In 1913, the Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, Hugh McCormick Smith, noted in an address to the American Fisheries Society that there was no higher education institution in the United States that offered training in fisheries-related subjects. A year later, Smith advocated strongly for the University to establish a school of fisheries or offer some related courses. He aptly noted that vast opportunities existed for people trained in fisheries and that UW’s proximity to the fishing industry provided a perfect location to establish a school dedicated to the study of fish. Five years later, in April 1919, the UW College of Fisheries was born, the first fisheries college in the United States, with John Cobb as its director. Cobb had been editor of Pacific Fisherman and a former field agent for the US Bureau of Fisheries. During his tenure, the academic focus was on fishery technology, with courses on fishery products and cannery management. Cobb’s first faculty hires included experts on aquaculture and fishery technology.
During the 1980s, the School’s foci evolved from seafood technology and processing methods to environmental studies, fish propagation, and aquaculture. In the 1990s, conservation and restoration of ecosystems, studies of the effects of environmental change on fisheries, and molecular biotechnology were added to SAFS research studies and curriculum. In 2000, the expanded breadth of studies led to a new name for the school: The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences.
The School forms a core unit of the College of the Environment.
