Paul Gourret
Paul Gabriel Marie Gourret (15 January 1859 in Roquevaire – 1903) was a French zoologist remembered for his biological studies of marine fauna and his work in the fishing industry. Gourret also worked with algae.
He studied natural sciences in Marseille, subsequently serving as a lecturer to the faculty of sciences in Lyon. In November 1886, he was named adjunct professor of zoology at the school of medicine in Marseille. From May 1893, he served as deputy director of the zoological station at Marseille.
He was a member of the advisory committee on Marine Fisheries in the Ministry of Marine, and in 1902 he became a chevalier of the Legion d'honneur.
The genus Gourretia from the family Callianassidae is named in his honor.[1][2]
