Located on the Bay of Fundy, the St. Andrews Biological Station is Canada’s oldest permanent marine research institution. A Century of Maritime Science reviews the fisheries, environmental, oceanographic, and aquaculture research conducted over the last hundred years at St. Andrews from the perspective of the participating scientists. Introductory essays by two leading historians of science situate the work at St. Andrews within their historical context.

With topics including the contributions of women to the early study of marine biology in Canada; the study of scallops, Atlantic salmon, and paralytic shellfish poisoning; and the development of underwater camera technology, A Century of Maritime Science offers a captivating mixture of first-hand reminiscences, scientific expertise, and historical analysis.

Jennifer Hubbard is an associate professor in the Department of History at Ryerson University. David Wildish is a scientist emeritus at the St. Andrews Biological Station and research associate of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre. Robert Stephenson is a research scientist and past Director of the St. Andrews Biological Station.
