Emmeline Moore

Emmeline Moore (April 29, 1872 – September 12, 1963) was an American biologist, expert on fish diseases, and pioneer of conservation. From 1927 to 1928 she was president of the American Fisheries Society, which in 2009 established the Emmeline Moore Prize. Quotes Aquatic plants have contested for possession of the waters much as the Poaceae grasses have contended for supremacy on land, until it may be said that the dominant forage crop of our lakes, ponds, and streams is to be found among the pondweeds, the Potamogetons. Variety in form, adaptability to environment, and diversity in range have all contributed their share in giving prominence in this group and in furthering a natural resource whose propagation and control are vital factors in the economic relations of the life of inland waters.

In examining the food the method of Arthur Sperry Pearse Pearse (1918) was employed, that is, the food content of the digestive tract was pressed out upon a Microscopic slide glass slide, moistened, and examined under the dissecting and compound microscopes.

Daphnia pulex, one of the largest of the Daphnia daphnids, was produced in enormous quantity by natural means. The blue-green alga, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae Aphanizomen flox-aquæ, contributed directly to its support and proved to be the most desirable food of a heavy, natural culture of Daphnia pulex.The author's first observation of this association in the pond occurred on June 21, 1918. At this time a "bloom" of the Aphanizomenon was approaching it maximum. It was so abundant that the water appeared blue-green and oily. A few hand strokes of the net would bring up a quart of it in concentrated form. p. 12 External links Category:1872 births Category:1963 deaths Category:Biologists from the United States Category:Cornell University alumni Category:Environmentalists from the United States Category:Scientists from New York (state) Category:Wellesley College alumni Category:Women scientists from the United States Category:Women born in the 1870s Category:Zoologists from the United States Category:People from New York (state)
