  Dr Carl Ferraris, of Portland , Oregon , U.S.A. , has been involved for more than 25 years in fish research, with an emphasis on revisionary studies of catfishes and the nomenclature of fishes.  Among the publications authored are the Checklist of Catfishes (in Zootaxa), and the Species of Fishes (in the Catalog of Fishes), as well as papers redescribing or newly describing more than 100 species of catfishes. He was an editor of the Checklist of the Freshwater Fishes of South and Central America, and Checklist of the Freshwater Fishes of the Guiana Shield, and was a Co-Principal Investigator of the recently concluded Planetary Biodiversity Inventory ( PBI ), Phase I: All Catfish (Siluriformes) Species Inventory (2003-2009), funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.  At the time this was written, his Checklist of Catfishes was the most frequently cited of all Zootaxa papers.
