The International Prize for Biology was instituted in April of 1985 by the Committee on the International Prize for Biology. From its establishment, the Prize has commemorated the 60-year reign of Emperor Showa and his longtime devotion to biological research. Now it also pays tribute to the Emperor Emeritus, who has striven for many years to advance the study of gobioid fish taxonomy, while contributing continuously to the development of this Prize.
