BIOGRAPHY
Involved in killifish keeping and study since the mid 70’s. Among the first members (17th) of KCF in 1975. Long time co-chairman of this association and in charge of its journal during several years.

I was among the first french killifish collectors, making my first trip in Sierra Leone in 1984. A killifish, Scriptaphyosemion cauveti has been dedicated to me after I discovered this undescribed species in Guinea in 1993 with co-collector Raymond Romand.
