Biography
Arman Sabatier was born into a Protestant family. He was educated at the Lyceum in Montpellier, and then at the Natural and Medical Faculties. Since 1855 he was an adjunct in anatomy at the University of Montpellier, in 1858 he went on an internship in Lyon . In 1862 he received the title of Doctor of Medicine in Montpellier and became a prosector in the Department of Anatomy; He was interested in the comparative anatomy of vertebrates. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 he served as the head of the sanitary detachment, after the war he defended his dissertation in 1873, becoming an extraordinary professor of natural sciences at the University of Paris. Thanks to this, three years later, in 1876, he took the post of full professor of comparative anatomy at the University of Montpellier, during these years devoting himself to the study of invertebrates, primarily crustaceans and worms. He was the first French zoologist to study histology, since 1881 he was also involved in cytology. Then he was director of the Zoological Institute of the University of Montpellier.
While studying coastal ecosystems, he was convinced of the need to create a field laboratory to study the marine environment in order to study the samples collected here. To this end, in 1879, with his efforts, a marine biostation was established in Sete on the shores of the Tau lagoon. Initially, she was in a small fishing hut, but in 1906 she got it through the efforts of a full-fledged building, which allowed Sabatier to create a real scientific school of marine biology there.

Montpellier, vol. 8, 1872-1875 ) , "De la spermatogenèse chez les Crustacés decapodes (" CR Ac. Sc. ", Paris, v. 100, 1885 )," De la spermatogenèse chez les Plagiostomes et Amphibiens "(" CR Ac. Sc.
