Marine biologist

Frederick George "Eric" Hochberg (1941–2023) was a marine biologist specializing in the study of cephalopods and their parasites.

In 1971, Hochberg received a Zoology PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara, later taking on teaching positions at the University of Washington. He became a curator at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History in 1973. Through the late 1990s and into the 2000s Hochberg collaborated on the description of several species of Octopus, most notably Thaumoctopus mimicus (mimic octopus) and Wunderpus photogenicus (the wunderpus). Hochberg was also well known for his extensive research on cephalopod parasites, particularly the dicyemids, and he also studied terrestrial mollusks.
