He was also Director of the University Museum and was the first director of the University's Gatty Marine Laboratory (founded 1896).

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1877, and was awarded the Royal Society's Royal Medal in 1899: "For his important monographs on British marine zoology and on the fishing industries." He was awarded the Linnean Medal in 1924.
