Work in the Philippines

Alber W. Herre was perhaps best known for his taxonomic work in the Philippines, where he was the Chief of Fisheries of the Bureau of Science in Manila from 1919 to 1928. While in the Philippine Islands (which were still owned by the United States at the time), Herre was responsible for discovering and describing many new species of fish.cite journal | last =Pietsch | first =T.
