About the author
Born in 1859 and dying in 1932, Arthur Seligo was a German fishery expert whose work was closely tied to Danzig and West Prussia. He is remembered for writing about fishing and fish culture, including practical studies of inland waters and fisheries.
Seligo also worked in the museum world. Sources connected with his 1932 work Die Danziger Fischerei identify him with the State Museum for Danzig History, suggesting that he helped present regional history and fishing culture to the public as well as to specialists.
His published work reflects a hands-on interest in how fisheries actually functioned, from moor and inland waters to the fishing life of Danzig. That mix of science, local history, and public service makes him an appealing figure for readers interested in natural history and the working life of the Baltic region.
