At FE-Request, we received,  today,  the  tragic  news  that  Senior
scientist (and FE-colleague) Peter A. Larkin, U. of British Columbia
(Canada),  passed  away  [1].   Anyone of his friends and colleagues
wishing to write a memorial  note  on Sr.  Larkin, please, feel free
to send it in to the FISH-ECOLOGY conference.  Later on, it will  be
forwarded  to  family and friends in British Columbia and be kept in
our logs.  Be this a way in FISH-ECOLOGY to honour those men & women
who unselfishly devoted their lives in the search for truth.
