Fenner A. Chace Jr.

Fenner Albert Chace Jr. (October 5, 1908 – May 30, 2004) was an American carcinologist.

Life
Fenner Albert Chace Jr. was born in Fall River, Massachusetts. He attended Harvard University, and received his doctorate in 1934, and became a curator at that university's Museum of Comparative Zoology. After the start of World War II, he worked as a civilian for the Army Air Force oceanographic group, and later commissioned as an officer. His unit was dismantled, and he was reassigned to the US Navy Hydrographic Office. He worked to produce cloth survival charts to be used by aviators lost at sea. After the war, he succeeded Waldo L. Schmitt at the United States National Museum. He worked at the National Museum until his retirement in 1978, and then he continued as Zoologist Emeritus. He was "one of the most influential carcinologists of the 20th century", and named 200 taxa in the Decapoda and Stomatopoda, most of them shrimp.
