In 1927, the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries hired Cable to assist Samuel Frederick Hildebrand at its research station and lab in Beaufort, North Carolina. Working as a scientific illustrator, Cable was the first woman professional biologist at the Bureau. Cable's illustrations won praise in the scientific community and notoriety in the popular press. In her lab in 1929–1930, Cable successfully cultured several fish through their larval stages, a ground-breaking accomplishment: prior to this time, for many species, their early life cycles were only known from capture of wild specimens.
