The American Fisheries Society will hold its 126th Annual Meeting
(Theme: "Sustainable Fisheries: Economics, Ecology, and Ethics") at the
Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, Michigan, on August 26-29, 1996. The program
includes a plenary session, 26 special symposia, 10 contributed paper
sessions, various subunit and committee meetings, a poster session, a
trade show, and numerous social functions. Fishery professionals will make
more than 400 oral and poster presentations on management of fisheries
bycatch; sustainability of Great Lakes fisheries; recreational fisheries
management; impacts of nonindigenous aquatic species; ecological integrity
of fish assemblages; survival of walleyes; urban fisheries; water quality
issues; reproductive disruptions in fish; risks posed by genetically
modified organisms; endangered species; estuarine fisheries; and many
other topics.
The Chair of the 1996 AFS Program Committee is Dr. Mary C. Fabrizio,
National Biological Service, Great Lakes Science Center, 1451 Green Road,
Ann Arbor, MI 48105-2807.
If you can access the World Wide Web on your computer, be sure to
visit the new AFS Annual Meeting website at the following URL:
http://www.great-lakes.net/partners/afs/ .
Besides a preregistration form for the meeting, this website features
abstracts of all technical papers to be presented along with a search
engine to find authors and topics of particular interest to potential
attendees. Addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of authors are
included with the abstracts (Having the abstracts of all papers available
prior to an annual meeting is apparently unprecedented for AFS).
Look at the special 24-page insert in the June 1996 issue of AFS's
monthly publication FISHERIES for general meeting information, a
preregistration form, and a tentative schedule of events and
presentations. Hotel reservations at the Hyatt Regency (800/233-1234 or
313/593-1234) should be made by July 18th, and the preregistration
deadline for the meeting is August 1st.
