Abstract

William T. (Bill) Peterson (Fig. 1) was born in Vancouver, Washington, to Grace Ellen Bryan Peterson and The Rev. Howard Munson Peterson on 26 August 1942. Bill was a leading figure involved in promoting, developing and shaping research on the effects of climate change on zooplankton, salmon ecology and on North Pacific oceanography. He collaborated actively with inter- national scientists from North Pacific rim nations, partly by actively participating since 1998 in the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES). Thus, Bill was extremely active in exchanges with ocean scientists all around the North Pacific, and he will be sorely missed.
