CANADIAN CONFERENCE FOR FISHERIES RESEARCH
CCFFR-2000

The major themes of the 2000 Conference are:

1) Fin and shellfish culture
2) Recreational fisheries
3) Research directed at conservation of wild salmonids
4) Biotic and abiotic interactions in marine and freshwater systems
5) Joint CCFFR/SCL session: Protection of Populations and Habitats

• Stevenson Lecture
  

  ---

  Papers addressing the major themes are encouraged, although submission on other themes related to fisheries and aquatic habitat biology are also welcome. We hope that session 4 will attract papers from students and postdoctoral fellows working on GLOBEC projects. GLOBEC (GLOBal ocean ECosystem dynamics) is an international research program that examines how living marine resources are affected by variability in their environment.
