Poster contributions may cover wider aspects relevant to non-indigenous
fish. Those particularly relevant to the three themes {(i) ecological
interactions, (ii) ontogenetic aspects and life history strategies, (iii)
physiological, behavioural and genetic constraints} will be highlighted
in the relevant oral session. There will be a dedicated poster session.
