Although one of the most known scientist in the field of abyssal or deep-sea ichthyology, George Brown Goode’s childhood is quite unheard of. Yet he grew up in the comforts of fishes and aquatic environment which could have led him to pursue ichthyology as a lifetime career.

He was always teamed with Tarlton Bean, another ichthyologists which could be presumed as his partner. He was present in all the three most important expeditions of Goode’s career as a deep-sea ichthyologist.

He also admired many other philosophers and naturalist. He admired Sir Walter Raleigh and Thomas Hariott more than he did any other ichthyologist.

His first important expedition was the search for a primitive chimera in an abyssal environment. His discovery proved very enlightening that even ichthyologist of his time never considered such insight to be true.

His second important expedition was the observation of a species of flatfish, which is known as the halibut. The results of such an observation would be important in the fisheries of his country.

His third and probably the most important of the three is the discovery a new species of "big eaters" or gulpers. This led to a surprising discovery that would change modern ichthyological anatomy.

His death was not fairly known but his life and legacy did fairly for his namesakes.

 He was George Brown Goode, an ichthyologist … a true scientist.
