Would you accept payment for your fisheries work in “company script” instead of cash? Paying impoverished employees with “company script” in leu of money is something we generally associate with coal operators, logging camps and others in the 19th century. However, in the leanest times of fisheries science during the Great Depression, research of one of AFS’s former Presidents, Homer Swingle (1957–1958), and his colleagues at Auburn University had to accept “Certificates of Indebtedness” as funding. Furthermore, Auburn’s employees were not paid “in‐full” for their fisheries work (Shell 2019).

美国渔业协会成立150周年！

您是否愿意以“公司脚本”而不是现金方式为渔业工作付款？在19世纪，我们通常与煤炭经营者，伐木场和其他组织联系，以金钱的“公司脚本”向贫困员工支付工资。然而，在大萧条时期渔业科学最艰难的时期，对AFS前任校长之一荷马·斯温格（Homer Swingle，1957-1958年）及其在奥本大学的同事的研究不得不接受“负债证明”作为资助。此外，Auburn的员工在渔业工作中没有得到“全额”报酬（Shell 2019）。
