description

The Annual Conference of the Australian Society for Fish Biology provides an opportunity for scientists, managers, industry and students to come together and discuss the most recent developments in fish and fisheries science. An integrated symposium will enable a topic of national significance to be discussed in an open forum, led by internationally acclaimed experts.

The 2010 Symposium theme is Climate Change and the Aquatic Environment – the future for fish and fisheries. The aim of the symposium is to:

1. Present an overview of the perceived effects of climate change on fish and fisheries in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments
2. Provide scientific predictions about the future of our aquatic world, fish biodiversity and fisheries
3. Discuss potential approaches for reducing human impacts and threats of climate change on fish and aquatic habitats
4. Provide a forum for stakeholders to present their visions of the wet areas of our planet in 20 years.

The Australian Society for Fish Biology Annual Conference for 2010 will be held at the Melbourne Museum. Over 200 people, representing major research and educational institutions and management agencies from across Australia and New Zealand, as well as international delegates and industry representatives, will be attending the event.

The conference with its integrated symposium focused on a subject of current universal importance presents a wonderful opportunity for those with an interest in fishes and their environments to keep abreast of the most up-to-date information and to interact first hand with experts in the field. The event also provides a unique occasion for organisations and agencies wishing to bring their products and services to the attention of these groups. We invite those interested to contact us about sponsorship opportunities to gain promotional exposure at the event and its social functions.
