This is the Second Call for Papers for the 6^th World Recreational
Fishing Conference (WRFC) to be held from August 1 -- 4, 2011 at
Humboldt-University Berlin. The conference theme is "/Toward Resilient
Recreational Fisheries/". The 6^th WRFC is the only scientific venue
explicitly dealing with, and centring on, the emerging field of
recreational fisheries science, management and development in freshwater
and marine environments, in both developed and developing nations. The
conference is open to researchers, managers, NGO representatives and
avid anglers from a wide range of fields. We particularly encourage a
multi-disciplinary crowd as audience and for paper presentations.
We again cordially invite abstracts from a wide range of scientific
disciplines and management applications in recreational fisheries.
Topics fitting one of the following conference themes and contributed
sessions are particularly welcomed (see www.worldrecfish.org
<http://www.worldrecfish.org/> for details):
* *Globalization of recreational fisheries** *
* *Space, place and recreational fisheries*
* *Change, adaptation and evolution in recreational fisheries*
* *Stock,* *stocking and the future of recreational fisheries*
* *Social value change and ethics of recreational fishing*
* *Property rights and co-management *
* *Allocation of fisheries resources among competing demands*
* *New methodological tools to survey and assess recreational
fisheries *
* *Creative methods for managing recreational fishing *
* *Understanding and solving conservation and other conflicts in
recreational fisheries*
* *Angling tourism development: social, economic and biological
challenges*
* *Biological impacts of recreational fisheries and their social and
economic consequences*
* *Harvest regulations and effort controls in recreational
fisheries: social, economic and ecological perspective*
* *Biological and social aspects of catch-and-release*
* *Social, economic and biological aspects of a diversifying angler
public*
* *Aquatic stewardship behaviour and education*
* *Science-based recreational fisheries and traditional ecological
knowledge*
An International Scientific Advisory Board will help make decisions on
the final list of speakers. Paper abstracts submitted until the deadline
of *March, 15, 2011* and not selected as oral presentations can be
presented as posters if they fit the conference themes.
The conference is a standard scientific meeting with short scientific
presentations (15 minutes) and discussions (5 minutes) in English. Key
note speakers are Prof Dr John Post, Dr Zeb Hogan and Brad Gentner.
Please visit www.worldrecfish.org <http://www.worldrecfish.org/> to
learn about the esteemed key note lectures ranging from sustainability
issues and collapse of fisheries to economics and conservation of the
world's megafishes. In addition to the core scientific conference we
offer a range of socials, with the highlight being the conference dinner
in the Saurian Hall of Berlin National History Museum on the evening of
August, 3, 2011. The proceedings of the scientific meeting are to be
published after full peer review in the scientific journal Fisheries
Management and Ecology.
You have to submit abstracts and register through the website
www.worldrecfish.org <http://www.worldrecfish.org/>. Please do not email
abstracts. Abstract submissions (1500 characters maximum, excluding

Notification of abstract acceptance will be completed until *April, 15,
2011*, final registration by payment must be completed until *May, 15,
2011* to be entitled for the reduced registration fee. Registration by

registration will be created, which can be used to finish the
registration by payment at a later stage.
Thanks to the invaluable support of our sponsors, in-house support by
Humboldt-University, the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and
Inland Fisheries and the co-organizing organization, the German Angler
Association, we can offer a modest registration fee of a maximum of 250
EUR. The final budget is to completed within the next week. Full
registration includes:
* all welcome socials
* coffee breaks
* lunches
* a one week ticket for the Berlin public transport
* conference dinner at the Berlin Natural Science Museum
* all conference materials.
We will be offering a *50% reduction in the registration fee* (probably
a maximum of 125 EUR) for graduate and undergraduate students and PhD
students. Excursions can be booked additionally upon registration, as
can be day tickets. There will also be an award for the best student
presentation sponsored by Pure Fishing as one of our sponsors. The final
registration fee along with the excursion offered to explore the vibrant
city of Berlin will be announced shortly on our website. Accommodation
for varying budgets can already be booked online (www.worldrecfish.org
<http://www.worldrecfish.org/>), and it is advised to act immediately
since Berlin is an attractive tourist destination during summer time and
hotels are rapidly filled.
Please consider arriving early the weekend before the conference
starts to explore Berlin in a relaxed atmosphere. Also consider
staying longer to also visit a sister scientific meeting on River
Ecology organized by the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology
and Inland Fisheries, the 2nd Biennial of the International
Society for River Science in Berlin, Germany (see
www.isrs2011.igb-berlin.de for details and registration
procedures) from August 08-12, 2011 at the Abacus Tierpark Hotel
in Berlin.
