{{Short description|Australian ichthyologist and paleoichthyologist}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} {{BLP primary sources|date=May 2021}} '''Anne Kemp''' is an Australian ichthyologist and paleoichthyologist who specializes in lungfishes (order Dipnoi). Her primary area of study is the Australian lungfish (''Neoceratodus forsteri''). She has served as a research fellow at Griffith University since 2010. Prior to this, she had also served as a research fellow at Queensland Museum between 1980 and 1991, and at the Centre of Microscopy at the University of Queensland between 1999 and 2008.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Anne|first=Kemp|title=Anne Kemp - Research fellow - Griffith University|url=https://au.linkedin.com/in/anne-kemp-49a8a773|website=LinkedIn}}</ref>
Kemp's pioneering work was with Australian lungfish in the Brisbane River and at Enoggera Reservoir beginning in 1969; they are no longer thought to exist at the latter location. She has documented the decline of the species at many locations in Queensland at due to environmental degradation, finding significant lack of recruitment in the populations due to the construction of dams, and supports conservation efforts for the endangered species.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kemp|first=A.|date=January 2020|title=Changes in the freshwater environments of the Australian lungfish, 'Neoceratodus forsteri', in south-East Queensland, and implications for the survival of the species|url=https://search.informit.org/doi/10.3316/INFORMIT.237104577887047|journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland |volume=124 |pages=121–135 |language=EN}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kemp|first=Anne|date=December 2017|title=Environmental alterations in southeast Queensland endanger the Australian Lungfish, Neoceratodus Forsteri (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi)|url=https://search.informit.org/doi/10.3316/informit.460357578911810|journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland |volume=122 |pages=45–57 |doi=10.5962/p.357817 |language=EN|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kemp|first=Anne|date=2017-01-30|title=Histological analysis of hatchlings of the Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, from water impoundments reveals fundamental flaws in development|url=https://www.publish.csiro.au/pc/PC16036|journal=Pacific Conservation Biology|language=en|volume=23|issue=2|pages=163–179|doi=10.1071/PC16036|issn=2204-4604|url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Moore|first=Tony|date=2010-10-28|title=Lungfish research grant denied as population flounders|url=https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/lungfish-research-grant-denied-as-population-flounders-20101028-175lt.html|access-date=2021-05-21|website=Brisbane Times|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Ann Kemps Lungfish - Queensland - Australia.|url=http://annekempslungfish.com.au/|access-date=2021-05-21|website=annekempslungfish.com.au}}</ref>
Aside from her work with the Australian lungfish, Kemp also studies the evolutionary history of lungfishes, including the creation of a new phylogeny of post-Devonian lungfish species as well as the description of many fossil lungfish species.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2017-04-01|title=Evolutionary history of lungfishes with a new phylogeny of post-Devonian genera|journal=Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology|language=en|volume=471|pages=209–219|doi=10.1016/j.palaeo.2016.12.051|issn=0031-0182|last1=Kemp|first1=Anne|last2=Cavin|first2=Lionel|last3=Guinot|first3=Guillaume|bibcode=2017PPP...471..209K |doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kemp|first=A.|date=1997-04-16|title=Four species of Metaceratodus (Osteichthyes: Dipnoi, Family Ceratodontidae) from Australian Mesozoic and Cenozoic deposits|journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology|volume=17|issue=1|pages=26–33|doi=10.1080/02724634.1997.10010949|bibcode=1997JVPal..17...26K |issn=0272-4634}}</ref>
A species of fossil lungfish in the genus ''Ferganoceratodus'' described in 2020, ''Ferganoceratodus annekempae'', was named after her.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Cavin|first1=Lionel|last2=Deesri|first2=Uthumporn|last3=Chanthasit|first3=Phornphen|date=2020-07-03|title=A New Lungfish from the Jurassic of Thailand|journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology|volume=40|issue=4|article-number=e1791895|doi=10.1080/02724634.2020.1791895|bibcode=2020JVPal..40E1895C |s2cid=225146856|issn=0272-4634}}</ref>
