Another sturgeon symposium in 2009

 

There will be a (amongst other fish species) sturgeon symposium this August being held in Nashville (!).

Let me just pass on the invitation of Kenneth Sulak in his own words, sent to me as a commentary (thx for sharing, Kenneth!):

 

“The North American Chapter of WSCS is also organizing and hosting a sturgeon symposium this August at the American Fisheries Society annual national meeting in Nashville (details on the AFS webpage). The focus will be on how individual North American sturgeons and paddlefish are doing, and what the primary science questions are now and into the future. As a member of the symposium committee, let me confirm that we welcome and encourage culturists and caviar producers to join NAC-WSCS, attend the symposium in Nashville (and/or in China), and actively participate in advancing sturgeon research and conservation. Visit the WSCS webpage for more on our mission, and opportunities to join, get involved, and get access to several major sturgeon publications available through the society.”
