Under the auspices of the European Ichthyological Society, this international meeting will be organized by different laboratories, covering several different disciplines of Fish Biology. The congress will include invited plenary lectures, sessions (oral and poster presentations) and two symposia.

The main topics will be:

- Phylogeny, Systematics
- Evolutionary morphology
- Ecology - Fish conservation
- Ethology
- Genetics
- Virology - Immunology
