“…The symposium was lively and informative, but that exchange did not address the challenge of getting this information into the literature. We hope that this special section serves as a repository for the information that was shared: propagation of the eastern hellbender Cryptobranchus alleganiensis (Civiello et al 2019), spawning of young Alligator Gar (Patterson et al 2019), early life history of the Guadalupe Bass Micropterus treculii (Prangnell and Matthews 2019), conservation aquaculture facilities ), a perspective on conservation culture , and strip-spawning of Great Plains cyprinids (Urbanczyk et al 2019). We are glad to make the information accessible to individuals who did not have the opportunity to attend the symposium.…”
