This is the first call for symposia, special sessions and workshops to
be held at the AFS Southern Division Meeting.  This meeting will be held
at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky from Feb. 26 - March
1, 1998.

The Program Committee is requesting proposals for symposia.  Sessions
having broad appeal and relevance to fisheries research and management
will receive highest priority.  Symposia may be scheduled in 2-hour time
blocks ranging from 2-h to day-long sessions and may include individual
presentations, panel discussions, and other innovative formats designed
to achieve the organizers' goals.  Symposium proposals should be
submitted no later than 15 AUGUST 1997.  Proposals should state
symposium objectives, format, amount of time required, a tentative list
of participants with topics they will cover, and visual aids they will
require.  Slide projectors will be available.  OVERHEAD PROJECTORS WILL
NOT BE AVAILABLE.  Organizers will be responsible for submitting
abstracts for all presentations in their sessions.  Contact the Program
Committee Chair for the abstract format.
