"Goode set the methods and standards still used in fishery research today. His time with the U.S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries and the Smithsonian Institution was one of the most productive periods in ichthyology (the scientific study of fish) and taxonomy (the classification of living organisms). While working for the Fish Commission and the Smithsonian Institution, Goode discovered and systematically cataloged significant collections of unknown species of fish and other marine life, dividing specimens between the two museums. He also authored more than 100 scientific notes and contributions in the reports of both organizations, as well as compiling catalogs and guides to exhibits.
