The Böhlke Memorial Endowment Fund honors the memory of James E. Böhlke and Eugenia B. Böhlke who were prominent ichthyologists at the Academy of Natural Sciences. James E. Böhlke was curator of the Department of Ichthyology from 1954-1982. Jim was a leader among museum and field ichthyologists. His areas of expertise included the fishes of the Bahamas and Caribbean, and South America. Jim authored over 120 papers dealing with the systematics and identification of fishes. Genie Böhlke was affiliated with research in Department of Ichthyology from 1957-2001. She was widely recognized as one of the world’s experts on moray eels. Genie published over 35 papers, mostly in ichthyology and dealing with eel systematics. She also authored important works on the history of ichthyology at the Academy.
