January 28, 1944) was an American zoologist. In 1883, he became assistant United States Fish Commissioner in charge of salmon propagation in California. For a time, he was in charge of deep-sea explorations on the USS Albatross.[3] From 1897 to 1902, he served as chief of the Fish Commission's fisheries division. He then served as director of the New York Aquarium at Castle Garden, from 1902 until his retirement in 1937. Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray was a Bermudian naturalist. Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray was hired by the Bermuda Natural History Society as director for Bermuda's first aquarium. In 1911 he became director of the South Boston Aquarium which he ran for three years. In 1914, he became superintendent of the New York Aquarium. In 1928 he became director of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo which he ran until 1944. Mowbray successfully bred the first Galapagos tortoises and Galapagos penguins in captivity. Hashime Murayama (1879?1954) was a Japanese American painter. He was best known for his exquisite paintings of birds, insects, fish, mammals, and other wildlife. His work was featured in The National Geographic Magazine from 1921 to 1941. As an artist at National Geographic, he paid meticulous attention to his drawings, adding his distinct style to them and making them instantly popular. Fish were his personal favorites. To get sources from which to study, he kept bug specimens in a jar and visited aquariums to look at frogs, trout and salmon. After a career of over twenty years as an artist, Murayama was fired in September 1941 for being an immigrant (and because Japan-United States relations were about to be severed due to the attack on Pearl Harbor) and placed under arrest.
