1 Van Benthem Jutting & van Hoorn (1967, p. 47): In 1758 Baster received 12 goldfish from Engeland. Unlike earlier introductions he succeeded in breeding them in ponds around his house and produced silver (fig. 2 an 6) and black varieties. He offered the offspring to many people, including Linnaeus. The goldfish population in the Netherlands is thought to be the result of Basters breeding programs.
Baster published the article about goldfish on pages 85 to 101 earlier in Baster (1763).
