AACR2 9 February 1940 Place of Birth Sutton, Surrey, United Kingdom Place of Death Adelaide, South Australia, Australia Parasitologist Science administrator Peter Young undertook research directed to studies of monogenean and ascaridoid parasites of fish and other marine animals that constituted major fisheries species. In 1970 he was appointed Research Scientist with CSIRO as Officer-in-Charge of the Fisheries Research Laboratory at Deception Bay, Queensland. Until 1990 Young had leading roles in research programs and advisory groups relating to tropical fish species, prawns and fish populations on the North West Shelf, squid, tuna, Bass Strait scallops, and pollution ecology. Among the results of his research were an understanding of the role of mangroves as habit for post-larval prawns and that sexually related size differences in lethrinid fish were due to sex change and not to differential growth rates. As Chief of the Division of Fisheries he played a major role in the management of Australian fisheries research. In retirement Young worked as a consultant to government agencies and the fisheries industry, and served on a number of fisheries management advisory committees. In 1992 he donated more than 500 specimens of monogenean trematodes of fishes (mostly from Queensland) to Queensland Museum. 1962 1962 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of London, United Kingdom 1963 1965 Career position - Research Fellow, Department of Parasitology, University of Queensland 1965 1965 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Queensland 1966 1970 Career position - Scientific Officer, Commonwealth Bureau of Helminthology at St Albans, UK 1970 1973 Career position - Research Scientist and Officer-in-Charge, Fisheries Research Laboratory (Deception Bay, Queensland), CSIRO Division of Fisheries and Oceanography 1985 1990 Career position - Program Leader, CSIRO Fisheries Resources South and Southeast 1990 1996 Career position - Chief, CSIRO Division of Fisheries 1992 1993 Career position - Associate Director, Australian Marine Science and Technology Ltd 1992 1996 Career position - Foundation Director, Australian Fisheries and Management Authority 1993 1996 Career position - Hon Research Professor, University of Tasmania 1995 1995 Award - Kay Radway Allan Award, Australian Society for Fish Biology 1995 1997 Career position - President, Australian Society for Fish Biology 1997 Career position - CSIRO Special Research Fellow 1997 1997 Award - Inducted into the Hall of Fame, Australian Society for Fish Biology K.
