Russell was born in Bridport, Dorset, and studied at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University. From 1924 he worked for the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth, becoming its director in 1945.
Russell studied the life histories and distribution of plankton. He also discovered a means of distinguishing between different species of fish shortly after they have hatched.
