Sažetak
This paper is dedicated to Juraj Kolombatović, the renowned Croatian natural scientist, who passed away 100 years ago. We recognize this special anniversary by presenting a biography and summary of the scientific achievements of Juraj Kolombatović who gained his greatest success in ichthyological research, a field in which he discovered and described seven new fish species: (4 gobiid species) Kolombatović’s goby Chromogobius zebratus (Kolombatović, 1891), Liechtenstein’s goby Corcyrogobius liechtensteini (Kolombatović, 1891), Millerigobius macrocephalus (Kolombatović, 1891), large-scaled goby Thorogobius macrolepis (Kolombatović, 1891), (3 blenniid species) Parablennius zvonimiri (Kolombatović, 1892), Lipophrys adriaticus (Steindachner & Kolombatović, 1883) and Lipophrys dalmatinus (Steindachner & Kolombatović, 1883). Besides his contributions to basic biological science, he has actively contributed at an early date to cope with fisheries management issues in the region at both, local and international level.
