ASIH 1997 Joint Meetings

ELHS-AFS Symposium

"Juvenile Fish Studies: Contributions to Early Life History and Recruitment Processes"

For a list of the speakers, and the titles of their talks, see Session 18.

This session will consist of a morning program of invited speakers whose talks will consist primarily of reviews of broad concepts (e.g., food limitation, density dependence) pertaining to the juvenile stage examined across several taxa as well as overviews of studies on individual species used as examples to address a single concept. Invited talks will focus on the marine system and cover a wide variety of species and habitats as well as a broad geographic range. These talks will be 30 minutes each including time for questions and discussion. Several speakers are being solicited; others are welcome to contact the convenors if they are interested in being considered. There will also be a session of contributed speakers addressing both marine and fresh water topics which will be 15 minutes in duration. Papers are solicited for this session for any studies on juvenile fishes, including those which focus on a single species. Student papers are especially encouraged in this session.
