MEETINGS
The formal symposium submission system is now open, utilizing a new, more robust meeting platform than used in Baltimore in 2021. Under the theme of "What Do Fish Mean to Us?," the Program Committee of the 152nd Annual Meeting in Spokane, Washington, August 21-25, 2022, encourages symposium topics that exemplify the latest research in fisheries science and that will benefit a range of audiences with the aim of advancing the science of fisheries ecology, conservation, and management. This year, we are also offering a discussion platform for more collaboration, transparency, and participation in symposium development.
