In 1953, at the same time that Nelson
began his work on diet for heart patients,
the Seattle Fishery Technological
Laboratory of the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries began its work on fish oil
research . Nelson, soon learning of the
interest of laboratory staff, contacted
Stansby on many occasions by phone
and talked at great length about his project.
He invited Stansby on several occa-
176 Marine Fisheries Review
sions during subsequent years to talk to
his patients about fish and fish oils.
