Abstract
Prof. Dr. Fahire (Battalgil) Battalgazi was born as an Ottoman Empire subject in Istanbul at the turbulent beginning of the 20th century (1902/1905?-1948). She had a short but very successful academic career at Istanbul University and Paris Sorbonne University. Since her field of study was the fresh water fish biodiversity and systematic in Turkey she travelled a lot, inspecting the rivers of Anatolia. She was the first zoologist of Turkey and had identified 30 new fish species in 5 manuscripts between the years 1940-1944. Today 15 of her foundings are valid. With this study we will be giving information about her academic career and family life.
