Call for Meeting Registration
31st Wakefield Fisheries Symposium: Impacts of a Changing Environment on the Dynamics of High-latitude Fish and Fisheries
9-11 May 2017, Anchorage, Alaska

This symposium, titled "Impacts of a Changing Environment on the Dynamics of High-latitude Fish and Fisheries" will examine the impacts of the environment, especially climate change and variability, on the dynamics of Arctic and subArctic species of commercial, subsistence, and ecological importance. The symposium will focus on the effects of warming, loss of sea ice, ocean acidification, and oceanographic variability on the distribution, phenology, life history, population dynamics, and interactions of these species and how a better understanding of these effects can inform the assessment and management of fish and invertebrate populations in a changing ocean for the benefit of affected communities.

Alaska Sea Grant will publish a peer-reviewed proceedings book, including full papers based on oral and poster presentations, soon after the symposium. The publication will be  available electronically with the possibility of a small number in print.

Early registration deadline: Monday, 10 April 2017

Registration deadline: 9 May 2017
