Global Marine Science and Carlsberg: The golden connections of Johannes Schmidt (1877- 1933)

摘要

I would venture to suggest that Johannes Schmidt is not a name that even readers of this journal would immediately recall, but this new biographical account shows that as a scientist and entrepreneur who led 26 oceanic expeditions and revealed, among other things, the secrets of the eel's breeding patterns, he deserves recognition. In recounting Schmidt's life Bo Poulsen also reveals how a major brewing company came to be caught up in international marine science.
