36th Annual Meeting

Fisheries: Biology and Beyond 36th Annual Meeting

MEETING SCHEDULE

Milwaukee, Wisconsin -where Great Lakes and inland fisheries converge- is the venue for the 36th Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Fisheries Society held January 9-11, 2007.

This conference explores the relationship between fisheries, management, and people, recognizing that each affects, and has an effect on, the other. An array of relevant topics will be explored in depth with this complexity in mind. The conference will have something for everyone – from specialized fisheries scientists and professionals to researchers to managers and budding Young-of-Year students. Experts in their respective fields will gather to share their knowledge, network, as well as learn.

This conference will continue to offer an opportunity to learn about cutting edge biological, genetic, and ecological research and management currently going on throughout the State of Wisconsin. This conference will also feature social aspects of fisheries management such as: perception and impact of bag limits and signage regulations on fisheries (Do they work?), tournament fishing issues, successful private-public partnerships that lead to protection and enhancement of fisheries, relationship between fisheries and economies of local communities, and more…

We look forward to meeting you in Milwaukee on January 9-11, 2007, to learn and celebrate with us.
