Charles Henry Gilbert (December 5, 1859 in Rockford, Illinois ā April 20, 1928 in Palo Alto, California) was a pioneer ichthyologist and fishery biologist of particular significance to natural history of the western United States. He collected and studied fishes from Central America north to Alaska and described many new species. Later he became an expert on Pacific salmon and was a noted conservationist of the Pacific Northwest. He is considered by many as the intellectual founder of American fisheries biology.[1][2] He was one of the 22 "pioneer professors" (founding faculty) of Stanford University.
