Fish Population Structure: Implications to Conservation

Advice on fish dynamics and the sustainability of fishing practices is often based on a spatial scale that is different to that of the exploited populations. Failure to recognise the nature of structuring has been associated with the loss of genetic diversity and population instability. This symposium will address individual and population level approaches to the analysis of population structure in fish and the implications this has to their conservation and management. By bringing together researchers working in all types of marine and freshwater ecosystems the symposium will provide a timely overview of this rapidly developing field of fish ecology.
