CANADIAN CONFERENCE FOR FISHERIES RESEARCH (CCFFR)
THE J.C. STEVENSON MEMORIAL LECTURE
This is a
prestigious lectureship instituted in memory of Cam Stevenson, the long-time
Editor of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (CJFAS), published by NRC
Press and is conferred upon a young, energetic and creative researcher
at the cutting edge of an aquatic discipline. Each year a Lecturer is selected
by the Journal's Editorial Board. In the Spring of
each year a call for nominations is sent to the Chairs of Zoology and Biology
departments across Canada,
as well as to the research directors of the federal Departments of Fisheries
and Oceans and Environment Canada and the National Research Council. The list
of nominees is then sent to the CJFAS Editorial Board, who provides
recommendations and justification for their selections. The Lecturer delivers a
stimulating presentation of their work as the keynote address in the opening
session of the Annual CCFFR meeting. A written version of the presentation is
normally published as the lead article in the January issue of CJFAS or
sometime soon thereafter.
