ICES annual science conference, Berlin, Germany
21 September 2009 - 21 September 2009
Germany
The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) will hold its annual science conference from 21 to 25 September in Berlin, Germany.
International experts from renowned institutes and organisations will discuss some of the following topics and more:
- biochemical, biogeochemical and molecular approaches to the study of plankton ecology and species diversity;
- beyond geolocation - inferring and explaining the behaviour of tagged fish;
- advances in marine ecosystem research- lessons from GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics) and future climate-related programmes;
- trends in chlorophyll and primary production in a warmer North Atlantic;
- climate impacts on marine fish- discovering centennial patterns and disentangling current processes;
- the potential for fishing to alter marine population and ecosystem sensitivity to climate;
- comparative study of climate impact on coastal and continental shelf ecosystems in the ICES area;
- fish life cycle diversity within populations, mechanisms and consequences;
- monitoring requirements, observation technologies and methods (e.g. acoustics) for pelagic organisms at local and basin scales for input into ecosystem-based fishery management assessments.For further information, please visit:
