VILHELM EGE (1887 - 1962) played a leading role in ichthyology during the last half-century, particularly in the elucidation of the bathypelagic fish fauna. In 1908, he assisted Johannes Schmidt at the Carlsberg laboratorium on a variety of researches, first on the hog, then on the physiology and genetics of plants, on the genetics and races of fishes (Lebistes, oarces, Salmo, etc.), and finally on the systematic life history, distribution, and ecology of eels and of bathypelagic fishes. After Schmidt's death in 1933 Ege finished, and deservedly published under his own name, two of the most extensive studies on which he had worked with Johannes Schmidt, one on the systematic, phylogeny, and geographical distribution of the fresh-water eels (Anguilla), and the other on the speciationally significant transplantation experiments with Zoarces viviparus (offered here). ANTON FREDERIK BRUUN (1901 - 1961) was a Danish marine biologist was a Danish oceanographer and ichthyologist. Educated at University of Copenhagen (1926) and employed at the Danish Commission for Marine Research (Kommissionen for Danmarks Fiskeriog Havundersagelser), where he participated in the third Dana Expedition (1928-1930). From 1938 employed at the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen University. In 1945-46 scientific leader of the Atlantide expedition along the coast of West Africa and in 1950-1952 scientific leader of the Galathea deep-sea expedition, which circumnavigated the world. He became the first president of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, under UNESCO and was a leading figure in establishing international organisations for the exploration of the seas.
