He studied medicine at the naval medical school in Toulon, subsequently earning his qualifications as a naval surgeon. Along with Jean René Constant Quoy, he served as naturalist on the ships ''L'Uranie'' under Louis de Freycinet 1817-1820, and ''L'Astrolabe'' under Jules Dumont d'Urville 1826-1829.〔(Google Books ) Discovery of Australia's Fishes: A History of Australian Ichthyology to 1930 by Brian Saunders〕 During this voyage they discovered the now extinct giant skink of Tonga, ''Tachygia microlepis''.〔(Tongan Giant Skink ) A gap in nature: discovering the world's extinct animals by Tim Fridtjof Flannery〕 From his studies of cholera in Europe, he co-authored 〔co-authored with Nicolas Vincent Auguste Gerardin (1790-1868)〕 ''Du choléra-morbus en Russie, en Prusse et en Autriche, pendant les années 1831-1832'' (Cholera morbus in Russia, Prussia and Austria in the years 1831 & 1832).〔〔(World Cat Identities ) (publications)〕 He was the scientific leader on ''La Recherche'' (1835–1836) during its expedition to the Arctic Sea,〔(Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography ) Gaimard, Joseph Paul〕〔Note: François Thomas Tréhouart was commanding officer of ''La Recherche''.〕 making voyages to coastal Iceland and Greenland — from 27 April to 13 September 1835 and from 21 May to 26 September 1836. Along with exploratory and scientific goals, the crew of the expedition was tasked with searching for Jules de Blosseville, who disappeared aboard the ''Lilloise'' in Arctic waters a few years earlier.〔( Expedition: Sea around us ) Tréhouart: in search of Baron de Blosseville〕〔(Data Fisheries ) Joseph Paul Gaimard - Expeditions & Surveys〕 Out of these trips came the 9-volume ''Voyage en Islande et au Groënland'' 〔(Google Books ) Voyage en Islande et au Groënland exécuté pendant les années 1835 et 1836 sur la corvette La Rocherche〕 (8 text volumes, one of geographical illustrations), which was said at the time to be the definitive study of the islands. From 1838 to 1840, again aboard ''La Recherche'', he was the leader of a scientific expedition to Lapland, Spitzbergen and the Faroe Islands.〔(Ships on stamps ) La Recherce’s Scientific Expedition] 1838 – 40; Vol. 55, No. 3 November–December 2008〕 At least two species have been named in his honor: *''Eualus gaimardii'' (H.
