Dr. Colin Levings stated "Alexander Edward Peden (1937-2016) was a noted British Columbian ichthyologist who served the Royal BC Museum for many years.
He earned his M Sc at UBC in 1964 and his Ph D in Texas in 1970.
He was a specialist in marine intertidal fishes and was recognized as an international expert for those groups but also published on deep sea fish, freshwater species and many others."
