In his early work as a natural scientist, what contribution did Freud make to the field of marine biology?

He began his long and transcendent career in a nondescript laboratory on the Adriatic Sea, dissecting eels. He examined hundreds of the animals, working long hours amid stench and slime, peering through a microscope at countless tissue samples, in search of an organ that had eluded earlier anatomists — male testicles. Freud's drawings tell a story in three acts, from biology to psychology, from the microscope to the couch. The first, from Freud's college years into his mid-20's, took place in laboratories, where he examined the nervous systems of crayfish and lamprey, among other animals. The 21 drawings from this period would look familiar to anyone who used a microscope in high school, but on closer inspection betray compulsive detail.
