His Beginning[edit][edit]

George Philip Farran was born on November 21, 1876. He attended Trinity College in Dublin in 1876 for law. Later he graduated in Natural Science winning the Gold Medal of the subject for his class. His studies of marine wildlife began at the Marine Laboratory in Ballynakill Co. Galway with a small group of scientists, of which were gathered by the late Ernest W. L. Holt., in 1898. The group focused on gathering material from the fishery and looking at the marine biological problems there. Later in his life, Farran connected with The Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in 1900. He enjoyed his time here and was even promoted to be the Chief Inspector of Fisheries. Farran continued his work with the Department until his retirement in 1946.

His Studies[edit][edit]

Farran’s work was first based off a vast range of marine zoology, but it wasn’t until later in his career that he began to work on studying planktonic organisms which is what he was mainly known for. He specifically studied Copepods, which are aquatic crustaceans. Farran was brought material from all around the world from other scientists because of their admiration of his work. Farran was a widely published scientist and had his work published in many journals, a few of them include; The Royal Irish Academy, The linnean Society, Exploration of the Sea, and The Zoological Society. However, Most of his work was published in the Scientific Investigations of the Fisheries Branch of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction. When he began nearing the end of his career his work was more focused on the administrative side of his job rather than the scientific work he preferred. Farran did still manage to continue his work with planktonic organisms throughout the remainder of his life even close to his death on January 5, 1949 at the age of 72. Farran still studied after his retirement, and even participated in an experiment of breeding of oysters in tanks at Cromane, Co Kerry in 1947 and 1948 just before he died. He continued his love and studies for marine wildlife just until the end of his life.
