SYMPOSIUM

Hosted by the Bulletin of Marine Science, the purpose of the symposium
is to stimulate the exchange of new knowledge, data, and ideas on
behaviors, patterns, and processes operating underwater, in darkness
The main conference themes include:
· Nocturnal fish behavior and ecology
· Night fishing, fisheries, and enforcement
· Deep and polar sea (“perpetual night”) fish and fisheries
· Diel fish distribution and abundance comparisons
· Methods for studying fish in darkness
· Human threats to fish at night
· Larval fish at night
Drs Euan Harvey (Curtin University in Australia) and Carl Meyer (Hawai‘i
Institute of Marine Biology) will deliver keynote addresses.
The Bulletin of Marine Science encourages presentations to the symposium
from all fields of marine research pertaining to fish at night. Although
the focus is on marine ecosystems, relevant contributions from inland
waters will also be considered. Anyone interested in the subject matter
can attend the symposium. Those who wish to participate without making a
poster or oral presentation are welcome.
The ultimate goal of the symposium is to produce a peer-reviewed
dedicated issue that will capture the present state-of-knowledge of fish
studies in the dark, identifying critical information gaps, and charting
a course for future research and collaboration. Ultimately, we want to
advance the current understanding of fish at night studies in the
systems they occupy.
