Colleagues family and friends established the Larkin Lecture Fund to honour Dr Peter Larkin when he retired from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, and later, when he passed away in 1996 (see Northcote 1996). The Lecture is held approximately biennially at the Fisheries Centre, UBC, and the manuscript is submitted for publication in Fish and Fisheries, subject to the normal refereeing process. (Until 1999 in Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries)
