Hoax
The article claims that she "published more than 500 papers on ichthyology, describing 302 new genera and 1548 new species". These are improbable numbers, and given that Google Scholar knows nothing about her (click link above) they are impossible - this is certainly a hoax. Note that the author has no other edits.
