Anastasio Cocco

Anastasio Cocco (29 August 1799, Messina – 26 February 1854, Messina) was an Italian naturalist who specialized in marine biology.

Cocco was a pharmacist. He was especially interested in fish and described several taxa from the Straits of Messina. In 1852 his friend the German scientist Eduard Rüppell named a fish Microichthys coccoi to honor his name. He was a friend and correspondent of many other naturalists notably Charles Lucien Bonaparte, Antoine Risso and August David Krohn.

gollark: Yep.

gollark: It's poorly and amateurishly programmed, but does auto update, and deletes all files other than itself.

gollark: PotatOS has really good sandboxing. At worst the virus can delete your files, not uninstall it.

gollark: Can you send me the pastebin?

gollark: No, potatOS is rather well proofed.
