Hide Profile

William Schroeder devoted his career to the study of ichthyofauna of the western North Atlantic. With Henry Bigelow, he conducted experiments on the effects of temperature on the growth of cod. Schroeder also participated in deep-sea zoological explorations. He and his wife ran a business designing and creating custom-made plankton nets which they sold to scientists and commercial fishermen. Schroeder began his association with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as the business manager. Prior to his employment at WHOI he was a fish culturist and aquatic biologist at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. During his time at WHOI, he also held several positions at Harvard, as associate currator of fishes and a research ichthyologist.
