In 2012, the Aquarium-Museum of Liège will celebrate its 50th anniversary. This will be a great opportunity to bring together ichthyologists from all specialties. 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
- Ecophysiology and ecotoxicology
Master and PhD students are strongly encouraged to present their research. Prizes for best oral and poster presentations will be awarded.
