A Call for Abstracts information

 

The technology and techniques employed to monitor fish have developed at a pace since our last event and we will reflect these developments in the programme.We intend to cover a range of research areas in both the freshwater and marine fields and will also welcome speakers from other research areas who are tracking aquatic animals.

The organising committee would welcome submissions from people working in the following areas:
1. Project planning
2. Fish migration
3. Fish passage assessment
4. Monitoring fish in difficult environments
5. Predator prey interactions
6. New technology and emerging techniques
7. Data processing

All abstracts should include the following information in this order:

Title of the paper,
Authors’ full names with presenter’s name highlighted,

Affiliation and country of origin for each co-author,
Full address of the presenting author,

FSBI and IFM

A new collaboration to foster integration of science and policy across the fish and fisheries communities

---

What We Plan to Do (Summary)

• Joint Membership Option

A key objective for both societies is to promote dual involvement to improve the connectivity between our members by offering a dual membership package.

• Increase Our Social Networking Associations

This aims to improve the signposting of opportunities available to members and greatly improve the awareness of grants and useful training courses to strengthen links between science and practice for all members.

• Collaborate on Mutual Advertisement and Development of Taining Events/ Workshops
  

We want to enhance the quality of our future workshops and events by having IFM as the practical experts in applying current academic research to real-world applications. Such as; How to carry out quantitative stock assessments (IFM lead) with new genetic techniques (FSBI lead).

This will provide highly valuable material that will significantly improve the experiences, collaborations and skills gained for all attending members.

• Support Policies of Mutual Interest to Both Societies

This aims to increase the impact of international statements made by the societies on issues such as; climate change, marine fisheries, over-fishing, invasive species, environmental impacts, habitat and biodiversity loss.
