Charles Henry Gilbert was born on December 5, 1859, in Rockford, Illinois. He was the son of Edward Gilbert (originally Gellert), a Bohemian, and Sarah Bean, a native of Massachusetts.
During Gilbert's childhood, his parents moved to Indianapolis, where he received his early education. He entered Butler University at Irvington, a suburb of Indianapolis, where he studied under David Starr Jordan, with whom, in the summer of 1876, he made a study of the fishes of Georgia.
After receiving the degree of B. S. in 1879, Gilbert followed Jordan to Indiana University. There he received the degree of M. S. in 1882, and Ph. D. in 1883, serving from 1880 to 1884 as assistant in natural sciences and modern languages.
From 1884 to 1889, Gilbert was professor of natural history at the University of Cincinnati. He then returned to Indiana University as professor of zoology.
In 1891, he became professor of zoology at Leland Stanford, Jr. , University, a position which he held until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1925.
Gilbert took part in many intensive investigations of the fishes in the waters of the United States and certain areas of the Pacific.
From 1880, he was assistant to the United States Fish Commission, working with Prof. Jordan under the direction of Spencer Fullerton Baird and G. Brown Goode.
With Jordan he prepared a Synopsis of the Fishes of North America (1882), and numerous other reports. He had charge of the explorations of the Fish Commission’s steamer Albatross in the deep seas of the North Pacific, Hawaii, and Japan (1889 - 1906), and from 1909 to 1927, he carried on special investigations of the salmon fisheries of British Columbia and Alaska, making critical studies of the five species of salmon in those regions.
Failing health forced him in 1927 to give up all active research.
Gilbert took part in many intensive investigations of the fishes in the waters of the United States and certain areas of the Pacific. He was assistant to the United States Fish Commission. With Prof. Jordan he prepared a Synopsis of the Fishes of North America (1882), and numerous other reports. A list of his papers to 1917 is to be found in Bashford Dean, A Bibliography of Fishes, Volume I (1917) and Volume III (1923). Most of his reports are contained in the Bulletins and Reports of the Fish Commission and Bureau of Fisheries, 1880-1927, and Reports of the British Columbia Commissioner of Fisheries, 1913-24. Gilbert is remembered and honored by ichthyologists and fishery biologists around the world for his many contributions. The Gilbert Fisheries Society was established in 1931 at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington. The organization was short lived, however, and the society was reconstituted in 1989 as the Gilbert Ichthyological Society. A U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries research vessel was commissioned in 1952 as the Charles H. Gilbert and a building at Stanford University is named the Charles H. Gilbert Biological Sciences Building. Gilbert is commemorated in the scientific names of three species of lizards: Phyllodactylus gilberti, Plestiodon gilberti, and Xantusia gilberti.

Gilbert was an excellent teacher, developing in his students an unusual initiative and independence, and much of his best teaching was done in the Stanford Journal Club, where he was associated with advanced workers.
His own research was marked by care and exactness; he never trusted others for matters of fact which he could verify himself.
He was a courteous, courageous, lovable though critical man, devoted to his associates and students, and a great favorite with the fishing fraternity.
Gilbert had married, August 7, 1883, Julia R. Hughes of Bloomington, Indiana, who died in 1916.
