This book is the first complete biography of one of the founders of
fishery science, William Edwin (Bill) Ricker (1908 - 2001), immortalized
in the Ricker Curve. This book combines Bill's own recollections with
contributions from those who knew him and worked with him as a colleague
during his multifaceted career. In an article written shortly before his
death, Bill gives his own account of his career and intellectual
development.
