A friend and mentor of Steinbeck, they collaborated on and co-authored the book, <i>Sea of Cortez</i> (1941). </p><p>Eleven years later, and just three years after the death of Ed Ricketts, John Steinbeck reprinted the narrative portion of their coauthored book with a new publisher, with Steinbeck removing Ricketts as coauthor, adding a biography of Ed Ricketts and re-titling the book <i><a href="/wiki/The_Log_from_the_Sea_of_Cortez" title="The Log from the Sea of Cortez">The Log from the Sea of Cortez</a></i> (1946).

The third and fourth editions were revised by <a href="/wiki/Joel_Hedgpeth" title="Joel Hedgpeth">Joel Hedgpeth</a>, a contemporary of Ricketts and Steinbeck; Hedgpeth continued the book's <a href="/wiki/Taxonomy_(biology)" title="Taxonomy (biology)">taxonomic</a> excellence while retaining its ecological approach. </p><p>The pioneering nature of Ricketts' book may be appreciated by comparison with another classic work, now in its fourth edition, that was published two years later, in 1941: <i>Light's Manual</i> by <a href="/wiki/S._F._Light" title="S. F. Light">S. F. Light</a> of the University of California, Berkeley. <i>Light's Manual</i> is technical, difficult for laymen, but essential for specialists. On the other hand, Ricketts' <i>Between Pacific Tides</i> is readable, full of observations and side comments, and readily accessible to anyone with a genuine interest in seashore life. It cannot serve as a thorough manual to marine invertebrates, but it addresses the common and conspicuous animals in a style that invites and educates newcomers and offers substantial information for experienced biologists. It is not organized according to taxonomic classification, but instead by habitat. Thus, crabs are not all treated in the same chapter; crabs of the rocky shore, high in the intertidal, are in a separate section from crabs of lower intertidal zones or sandy beaches. </p><p>Some concepts that Ricketts used in <i><a href="/wiki/Between_Pacific_Tides" title="Between Pacific Tides">Between Pacific Tides</a></i> were novel then and ignored by some in academia. Ricketts, writes Bruce Robison of the <a href="/wiki/Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_Research_Institute" title="Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute">Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute</a>, "was 'a lone, largely marginalized scientist' with no university degrees, and he had to struggle... against... traditionalists" to get the book published by Stanford University Press.<sup id="cite_ref-Bruce_Robison_2004,_p._1_18-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bruce_Robison_2004,_p._1-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ricketts' book <i>Sea of Cortez</i> is almost two separate books. The first section is a narrative, co-written by Steinbeck and Ricketts (Ricketts kept a daily journal during the expedition; Steinbeck edited the journal into the narrative section of the book). Later, the narrative was published alone as <i>The Log from the Sea of Cortez</i>, without Ricketts's name. The remainder of the book, about 300 pages, is an "Annotated Phyletic Catalog" of specimens collected. This section was Ricketts' work alone. It was presented in the traditional taxonomic arrangement, but with numerous notes on ecological observations. </p><p>Ricketts pursued pathfinding studies in quantitative ecology, analyzing the Monterey sardine fishery. In a 1947 article in the <i><a href="/wiki/The_Monterey_County_Herald" title="The Monterey County Herald">Monterey Peninsula Herald</a></i>, he documented sardine harvests, described sardine ecology, and noted that harvests were declining as fishing intensity increased. When the sardines became depleted and the industry was destroyed, Ricketts explained what had happened to the sardines: "They're in cans."<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The research Ricketts did on sardines was a seminal application of ecology to fisheries science, but it was not published as an academic paper. He is not widely recognized by fisheries scientists. The prominent fisheries scientist <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Pauly" title="Daniel Pauly">Daniel Pauly</a> comments: "That's probably due to the fact that his stuff isn't widely available... This is strange, but fisheries scientists so far as they are trained do extraordinarily little ecology... I will not publish a paper on <a href="/wiki/Pelagic_fish" title="Pelagic fish">pelagics</a> without now mentioning Ricketts".<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_Research_Institute" title="Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute">Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute</a> deploys a four kilometer depth rated remotely operated vehicle named in honor of Ricketts's work, the ROV <i>Doc Ricketts</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Eponymous_species">Eponymous species</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ed_Ricketts&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Eponymous species"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Since 1930, over 16 species have been named after Ricketts:<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li><i>Aclesia rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Sea_slug" title="Sea slug">Sea slug</a>)</li> <li><i>Catriona rickettsi</i> (Sea slug)</li> <li><i>Hypsoblenniops rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Blenny" class="mw-redirect" title="Blenny">Blenny</a>)</li> <li><i>Longiprostatum rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Flatworm" title="Flatworm">Flatworm</a>)</li> <li><i>Mysidium rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Opossum_shrimp" class="mw-redirect" title="Opossum shrimp">Opossum shrimp</a>)</li> <li><i>Siphonides rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Peanut_worm" class="mw-redirect" title="Peanut worm">Peanut worm</a>)</li> <li><i>Nephtys rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Polychaete_worm" class="mw-redirect" title="Polychaete worm">Polychaete worm</a>)</li> <li><i>Mesochaetopterus rickettsi</i> (Polychaete worm)</li> <li><i>Polydora rickettsi</i> Woodwick 1961 (Polychaete worm)</li> <li><i>Panoploea rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Talitridae" title="Talitridae">Sand flea</a>)</li> <li><i>Pentactinia rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Sea_anemone" title="Sea anemone">Sea anemone</a>)</li> <li><i>Palythoa rickettsi</i> (<a href="/wiki/Zoanthid" class="mw-redirect" title="Zoanthid">Zoanthid</a>)</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Metridium_farcimen" title="Metridium farcimen">Isometridium rickettsi</a></i> (Sea anemone)</li> <li><i>Pycnogonum rickettsi</i> Schmitt, 1934 (<a href="/wiki/Sea_spider" title="Sea spider">Sea spider</a>)</li> <li><i>Asbestopluma rickettsi</i> Lundsten et al., 2014 (<a href="/wiki/Sea_sponge" class="mw-redirect" title="Sea sponge">Sea sponge</a>)<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><i>Poecillastra rickettsi</i> (Sea sponge)</li> <li><i>Acorylus rickettsi</i> Coan & Valentich-Scott, 2010 (<a href="/wiki/Bivalvia" title="Bivalvia">Clam</a>)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_eponyms">Other eponyms</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ed_Ricketts&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Other eponyms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Ricketts Bar MX in San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico is named for him and features Bryant Fitch's photograph over the bar.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <ul><li><i>Doc Ricketts</i> is the name of a robotic undersea rover operated by the <a href="/wiki/Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_Research_Institute" title="Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute">Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute</a>.
