<em>One Hundred and Twenty Years of Marine Biology at the University of Liege </em><br /><br />The marine biology in the Belgian university of Liege was founded by Edouard Van Beneden (1846-1910) and Leon Fredericq (1851-1935). Van Beneden was speciahzed in morphology and embryology, while Fredericq was a physiologist and a biochemist. Van Beneden and his pupils made important investigations on the development and the structure of the Tunicata, especially on the Ascidia. Van Beneden's successor was Desire Damas and after the Second World War Marcel Dubuisson stimulated the revival of the marine biology in Liege. Fredericq studied among others the physiology of Invertebrata and discovered hemocyanin in the blood of Mollusca. Henri Fredericq, but especially Zenon Bacq and Marcel Florkin on comparative biochemistry made the Lifege university into a centre of modern research. <br /><br />
