ABSTRACT PREPARATION (Deadline: 31 October 2001)

Please follow these guidelines carefully to facilitate work of the Programme Committee and to ensure a final programme of high quality.

Follow the guidelines below and send an ASCII (text) version of your abstract (do NOT send Word, WordPerfect, PDF's or other word processing formats) by e-mail to:

Dr. James D. Reist ---> reistj@dfo-mpo.gc.ca

Abstracts should not exceed 350 words.

Place an asterisk (*) after the name of the person presenting the paper.

Indicate whether the presentation will be oral (O) or poster (P) after the title.

Only standard 5 x 5 cm slide projector and overhead projector will be provided free of charge.

Three concurrent paper sessions are planned so the number of oral presentations may be limited.

Please indicate, on a separate line after the end of your abstract, if your presentation COULD be a poster even if your preference is for oral presentation. Students are especially encouraged to present orally.

Please also indicate on this line to which theme (1-5) your presentation is most closely related. This line will not appear in the program.
