Fry Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The F. E. J. Fry Medal is an annual award for zoology given by the Canadian Society of Zoologists.[1]

It is presented to the Canadian zoologist who has made an outstanding contribution to knowledge and understanding of an area in zoology. The recipient is expected to give a lecture to the next annual conference.

The award was established in 1974 in honour of Frederick E.J. Fry, the Canadian ichthyologist and aquatic ecologist.
