Biographical History
Paul Percy Viosca Jr. was born in New Orleans on June 24, 1892. Viosca attended Tulane University, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1913 and a Master of Science degree in 1915. He taught at Tulane as a student assistant and an instructor before leaving in 1916 to set up the Southern Biological Supply Company, which supplied specimens of crawfish and other aquatic life for research and commercial use, as well as advising industry. While he remained president of his company and headed its research department, Viosca also became one of the country's first free-lance biologists. With his death from cancer on August 27, 1961, Louisiana lost its pre-eminent naturalist.
