发明海水水族箱,普及海洋生物

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. 戈斯也是《脐》一书的作者,该书试图将查尔斯·莱尔所预设的地质年代与《圣经》中的创世叙述相调和。戈斯去世后,在其子、诗人兼评论家埃德蒙·戈斯于1907年出版的回忆录《父与子》中,他被描绘为一位宗教观点毫不妥协、专横跋扈的父亲。
