Understanding fish populations

Abstract

angling journalist Peter Tombleson, who had all been regular attendees at the annual 'Coarse Fish Conferences' held at the University of Liverpool during the mid 1960s. The FSBI began its own venture into holding scientific meetings with day-long symposia interspersed with occasional larger international meetings, and by the mid-1980s an annual international symposium had become a major focus of the FSBI's year. Over the intervening years these FSBI-sponsored symposia have provided many opportunities to bring together scientists from around the globe to discuss, in depth, a wide range of timely and important topics in fish biology and fisheries science. These symposia have recently covered themes as specialised and diverse as the biology of deep sea fish and the evolution and behaviour of sticklebacks, through to the parasitology of fish and the ecology and conservation of elasmobranchs, as well as including more general conferences focusing on fish genes and genomes and the impacts of climate change.

“…In addition, many freshwater fish species are either commercially exploited [23,27] or keystone species [28]. Even though a large body of data concerning the distribution, abundance, and ecology of many fish species, both in freshwater and brackish environments [29,30], has been collected, the findings on their intraspecific genetic variability [22,[31][32][33], phylogeographic relationships [34][35][36], and postglacial history [24,37,38] remain fragmented. Furthermore, such data are quite limited even for extensively studied fish species [20,39].…”
