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.
From the FE-management, our deep condolences to family and
colleagues.
