description: "Philip Henry Gosse, known to his friends as Henry, was an English naturalist and populariser of natural science, prolific author, \"Father of the Aquarium\", scientific illustrator, lecturer, entrepreneur, and pioneer in the study of marine biology and ornithology. Gosse created and stocked the world's first public marine aquarium at London Zoo in 1853, and coined the term \"aquarium\". His 1854 work The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea was the catalyst for the aquarium craze in mid-Victorian England. Over thirty years later, Gosse co-authored a three-volume work on Rotifera considered at the time \"the most complete and exhaustive history of the Rotifera in any language\", with drawings of \"extreme minuteness, accuracy, and beauty\"."
