Good day,
This message is an international solicitation for abstract submissions to the Fish Technology Track of the annual MTS/IEEE meeting, Oceans 2002, in Biloxi, MS from October 29-31, 2002 [http://www.oceans2002.com/].
Two very broad sessions are currently planned within the Fish Technology Track (these sessions might be further refined dependent on submission response):
1/ Aquaculture: focusing on developments in offshore production technologies (including moorings/cages/optimization etc); new species and techniques focussed on tropical waters (especially for the location in the Gulf of Mexico); integrated and large scale production systems (include here platforms/barges/boats designed specific for aquaculture); and, other technological advances for aquaculture such as recirculating, etc.
2/ Commercial/Recreational Fisheries: bycatch reduction devices, efficient and environmental fishing, biotelemetry advances for research, artificial reef developments, fish spotting/forecasting, etc.
Unfortunately, and because I just assumed the role of Track Chair, abstracts are due by May 13, 2002. Owing to these time constraints, please ensure your submissions are appropriate, relevant and not overly commercial to the Track program. Abstracts should be 300-500 words in length, and NOT contain any figures or tables. Abstracts should describe the problem that is addressed, indicate its importance, and describe how the work contributes to the field. In addition to the abstract body, the following information is required for review: Abstract Title; Authors/co-authors and affiliations; Topic Area; Email for correspondence.
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed for relevance and authors notified of acceptance/rejection by May 15, 2002. Also at this time, accepted authors will receive guidelines for writing the conference paper due August 2, 2002.
Please submit your abstracts, and address further questions, to either myself ([log in to unmask]) or to Jana DaSilva ([log in to unmask]), the Track co-chair. Also, please refer to the MTS web page (http://www.mtsociety.org/) for further information on the society and view a list of previous conference proceedings titles and materials.
Thank-you,
Chris Bridger
