Dr Breder, a behavioral ichthyologist, wrote more than 160 papers and books, covering an array of field and laboratory investigations, and systematic and distributional studies. With only a high school education, he claimed that all he learned about biology and ichthyology was from the Newark Public Library.
Four of the Breder field journals and one compilation of his fish drawings were transcribed from 2001-2004 into seven digital documents. The creation of these electronic documents was a collaborative effort with the NOAA Regional Library in Miami, Florida as part of NOAA's Coastal and Estuarine Data-Document Archaeology and Rescue (CEDAR) project.
