Elbert Halvor Ahlstrom (February 15, 1910 – August 21, 1979) was an American professor, ichthyologist, zoologist, botanist, and phycologist.
As an ichthyologist and senior scientist, he worked for more than 40 years with the National Marine Fisheries Service, previously with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. He played a decisive role in developing methods to evaluate marine fish populations by systematic sampling of fish eggs and larvae.[1]
In 1984 an International Symposium was held dedicated to the memory of Elbert Halvor Ahlstrom.[2]
