Born: 14 July 1918  Mount Irvine, New South Wales, Australia.  Died: 14 March 2001.
Frederick Harold W. Morley, who was educated Universities of Sydney (BVSc 1942), Iowa (PhD) and Melbourne (DScAg), worked as Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO Division of Plant Industry from 1956 to 1977. He was also a Senior Lecturer in Epidemiology and Animal Production at the University of Melbourne. Morely was a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE); the Australian Association of Animal Breeding and Genetics; the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists; the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science; and of the Australian Society for Animal Production.

Together with Helen Newton Turner and Robert Bruce Macleay Dun, Frederick Morely led a team of CSIRO and State Agriculture Department scientists during the 1950s to apply new techniques of animal breeding to the Australian Merino. These techniques depended on first determining what characteristics were required by the end consumers of wool, then investigating how they could best be measured, to what extent they were inherited, to what extent different characteristics were correlated and how they could be combined for selection.
