An ICES-NASCO
Symposium on
The Interactions between Cultivated
and Wild Diadromous Fish Species
will be held in Boston, USA from 18—21 October 2005 with Lars Petter
Hansen (
and Malcolm Windsor (NASCO) as Co-Conveners.
|
priority: |
This is
pressingly urgent because of the amount of new information that has become
available in recent years. It will also provide a strong initial impetus to
the work of the new Diadromous Fish Committee |
|
Scientific Justification: |
This would complement a number of symposia on
this topic (notably
in 1991 and 1997), which have published significant proceedings. The
Symposium could also be opened to a broader mariculture
and marine fisheries audience to provide a wide scope for papers and
participation |
|
Relation to Strategic Plan: |
The promotion and support of symposia directly
related to the work of one or more of the ICES Committees is implicit in the
ICES Action and Strategic Plans |
|
Resource Requirements: |
It is
anticipated that selection of the papers from the symposium will be suitable
for publication in a dedicated issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science in
2006. The Convenors will approach the ICES Journal editor and Publications
Committee to confirm and finalise these arrangements, and also the
co-sponsors after they have been identified. |

Participants: |

Secretariat Facilities: |
