Fellow scientists, former students, and friends of Henry B. Bigelow, professor of Zoology, yesterday celebrated the famed marine biologist's 50 years of work in his field with a reception at the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
Those honoring Bigelow presented him with a special volume of scientific papers written for the occasion, describing current research in the study of the sea and its life forms.
Now 75, the oceanographer has most recently made a study of sharks and skates in the western Atlantic. Twenty-five years ago, Bigelow was a founder of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, of which he was for many years president and director.
