Symposium 2012: The Physiology of Fish Behaviour, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, 9-13 July

The aim of this symposium is to bring together fish biologists from a broad range of backgrounds to advance our knowledge and understanding of the interactions between fish behavious and physiology. The symposium will indentify the critical importance of behaviour-physiology at all levels of organisation, from the molecular to the population level, and it will address how environmental perturbations such as climate change and anthropogenic impacts, including pollutants, can disrupt this defining relationship. We are interest in maximising interactions between fish biologists from all disciplines and backgrounds interested in the inter-relationship between fish behavious and physiology. We hope this meeting will help foster new collaborations that further progress the development and advancement of this field of research.

THEMES

The following topics focusing on the integration of physiology and fish behavious will be presented:

  1. Hormones and Behaviour
  2. Cognition, neural plasticity and neural control of behaviour
  3. Disease/Parasites and Behaviour
  4. Pollutants and Behaviour
  5. Behaviour and climate change (global warming)
  6. Behaviour in extreme environments (hypoxia, turbidity, salinity)
  7. Communication and fish behaviour (i.e. pheromones, acoustic, electric)
  8. Fish welface (aquaculture, recreational angling and commercial fishiing)
