フィリップ・ヘンリー・ゴス
海水水槽を発明し海洋生物学を普及
Philip Henry Gosse FRS, known to his friends as Henry, was an English naturalist and populariser of natural science, virtually the inventor of the seawater aquarium, and a painstaking innovator in the study of marine biology. Gosse created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and coined the term "aquarium" when he published the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea, in 1854. His work was the catalyst for an aquarium craze in early Victorian England. ゴスはまた、『オンファロス』の著者でもあり、チャールズ・ライエルが前提とした地質学的な年代と聖書の創造説を調和させようとする試みを行った。彼の死後、ゴスは息子である詩人で批評家のエドマンド・ゴスが1907年に書いた回想録『父と子』の中で、妥協しない宗教観を持つ横暴な父親として描かれた。
