(Barton Warren Evermann (1853 – 1932) was an American fish...)
Barton Warren Evermann (1853 – 1932) was an American fish biologist. In 1888, he entered the service of the United States Bureau of Fisheries (successor to the United States Fish Commission), became an ichthyologist in 1891, had charge of the division of scientific inquiry in 1903-11, and from 1910 to 1914 was chief of the Alaska Fisheries Service. In 1906 Evermann wrote a book "The Golden Trout of the Southern High Sierras" based on his experiences surveying and studying this species in the Sierras. The golden trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita), is a subspecies of the rainbow trout native to California. The golden trout is native to Golden Trout Creek (tributary to the Kern River), Volcano Creek (tributary to Golden Trout Creek), and the South Fork Kern River. In 1904 Stewart Edward White communicated to his friend President Theodore Roosevelt, that overfishing could lead to extinction of the golden trout. In White's novel The Mountains, he wrote about the threatened golden trout on California’s Kern Plateau. Roosevelt shared White’s concern and, through U.S. Fish Commissioner George M. Bowers, dispatched biologist Barton Warren Evermann of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries to study the situation. In 1906 Evermann published The Golden Trout of the Southern High Sierras. Based on morphology, Evermann accurately described four forms of this native fish: Salmo roosevelti from Golden Trout (Volcano) Creek, Salmo aguabonita from nearby South Fork of the Kern River, Salmo whitei (named in recognition of Stewart Edward White) from the Little Kern River, and Salmo gilberti, the Kern River rainbow. Everett writes: "In 1893 Dr. David Starr Jordan described from the southern High Sierras a species of golden trout which he named Salmo mykiss aqua-bonita. Although it was apparent from the original description and Dr. Gilbert's notes that the trout described by Dr. Jordan was a fish of unusual beauty, and that the species found in Volcano Creek was even more beautiful, little was added to our knowledge of the trout of the Kern River region until recently. From time to time reports had come to the Bureau of Fisheries regarding the beauty, gameness, and delicious flavor of the golden trout of Volcano Creek, and then the fear began to be expressed that, owing to its extremely restricted habitat and the ease with which it may be captured, the species was in danger of extermination. "Stewart Edward White visited the region in 1903 and, impressed with the ease with which the extinction of the species could be compassed, called the attention of the President to the matter and the President in turn brought it to the attention of Hon. George M. Bowers, Commissioner of Fisheries. Complying with the request of the President, the Commissioner ordered an investigation to be made for the purpose of determining (a) the natural geographic distribution of this trout, (b) its abundance, (c) its habits as to food and spawning time and its dualities as a food and game fish, (d) into what waters, if any, it has been transplanted, (e) into what other streams it may be introduced, (f) whether its artificial propagation can be undertaken by the Bureau, and, finally, (g) what measures or regulations, if any, are necessary for the adequate protection of the species. An investigating party, under the writer's direction," outfitted at Redstone Park, Tulare County, Cal., with saddle horses, pack animals, and camping equipment, and on Jul}' 13, 1904, started for Volcano Creek." This book is the result of the author's experiences on this expedition into the Sierras.

(Excerpt from The Fishes of the West Coast of Peru and the...)
Excerpt from The Fishes of the West Coast of Peru and the Titicaca Basin While engaged in 1907 and 1908 under the auspices of the Peru vian Government in an investigation of the fisheries and fishery resources of Peru, Dr. Robert E. Coker embraced the Opportunity to make collections of the fishes inhabiting the streams and coastal waters of that country. The principal localities in which collections were made are Ancon, Eten, Callao, Capon, Chimbote, Chincha Island, Guanape North Island, Lake Titicaca, Lima market, Lobos de Afuera, Lobos de Tierra, Mollendo, Pacasmayo, Paita, Rimac River, Santa Rosa Island, Tumbes and Tumbes River, and Ballestas Island. The largest number of species (28) was obtained at Lobos de Afuera. These collections were turned over to the present writers for study and the preparation of a report thereon. They represent, in the aggregate, the largest and most important collection of fishes ever obtained in those waters. The total number of specimens somewhat exceeds 500. The number of species represented is 120, of which 12 appear to be new. In the present report the authors have included not only the species represented in Doctor Coker's collections, but all others previously actually recorded from the Pacific coast and drainage of Peru and from the Titicaca Basin. This brings the total number of species known from Peruvian waters to 187. Through the generosity of the Peruvian Government the authors are able to include illustrations from original drawings of 40 of the species.

He was born in Albia, Monroe County, Iowa, the son of Andrew and Nety (Gardner) Evermann; he had a brother and two sisters. The father was a farmer and when Barton was a small boy the family moved to Carroll County, Indiana.
He received his early education at a country school and at Howard College, Kokomo, Ind. For several years he taught in the public schools of Indiana and from 1879 to 1881 in Ventura County, California. Returning to Indiana, he entered the state university through the influence of David Starr Jordan, who was then professor of zoology there.
In 1886 he received the degree of B. S. , and five years later, that of Ph. D.
From 1886 to 1891 he was professor of biology in the Indiana State Normal School. Evermann's earliest interest was in birds. Assisted by his wife, he made a large collection of them, and also of many plants, which with a greater part of his library was burned in a fire that, in 1889, destroyed the building of the state normal school. His interest in fishes was stimulated by Jordan, and in 1891 Evermann went to Washington to be ichthyologist in the Commission of Fish and Fisheries--later the Bureau of Fisheries.
This position he held until 1914, serving as chief of the division of statistics and methods of fisheries, 1902-03; as assistant in charge of scientific inquiry, 1903-10; and as chief of the Alaska fisheries service, 1910-14.
Under his direction the California Academy of Sciences arranged for a series of habitat groups in its museum; established the Steinhart Aquarium; made a collection of African mammals; and sponsored expeditions to the Gulf of California, the Galapagos Islands, South America, Australia, Alaska, and many places in the United States and Mexico.
Evermann belonged to the group of ichthyologists who approached the subject from the point of view of taxonomy. His association with Jordan continued throughout life and resulted in several monumental works of great importance. Chief among them are The Fishes of North and Middle America (4 vols. , 1896 - 1900), American Food and Game Fishes (1902), which went through several editions; and A Checklist of the Fishes and Fishlike Vertebrates of North and Middle America (1896).
Evermann became interested in the Alaska fur-seal herd and the complicated administrative and jurisdictional problems connected with it in 1892, when he conducted an investigation of the natural history of the animals, chiefly at sea. This interest continued during subsequent years and involved him in the long dispute which occupied the attention of Congress and the Hague Tribunal of Arbitration for many years.
In 1923 he suffered a bronchial disturbance from which he never fully recovered.
He died of pneumonia at Berkeley, California, and his ashes were buried in Burlington, Indiana.

Evermann belonged to the group of ichthyologists who approached the subject from the point of view of taxonomy.
Although the principles which he advocated for application to practical management were not adopted until long after his direct connection with the industry had ended, subsequent developments have shown that they were biologically sound. As a result of their adoption a valuable species of animal, brought to the verge of extinction by improper commercial activities, has not only been conserved but has regained a large part of its original abundance.
He was a member of the Alaska Fisheries Service.
He was not a fast worker but accomplished a great deal of excessively detailed work through possession of a strong physique and an indomitable will to push a project through to completion once it was started.
On October 24, 1875, he married Meadie Hawkins, by whom he had two children, Toxaway Bronte and Edith.
