FABA 2014: International Symposium on Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
Dear
Colleagues,
The symposium will focus on the theme "Marine and Inland Biodiversity: Interactions
with Fisheries and Aquatic Environments" and have the following topics: Fisheries
Biology and Management, Aquaculture, Hydrobiology, Fish Diseases, Seafood
Processing Technology, Biotechnology and Genetics, Invasive Species, Global Warming and
Fisheries, Water Quality and Pollution, Fisheries Socio-economics.
It
is well recognized that fisheries and aquaculture play an important role in
sustaining food security and supporting the income. Turkey is leading country
in Europe and the Black Sea for fisheries and aquaculture. However, rapid
increase of world population as well as deterioration of the environment and
overexploitation has depleted fishery resources throughout the region. As
demands for fish continue to grow, aquaculture production must increase to
maintain the availability of seafood supply and to reduce fishing pressure to
extend especially endemic and especially omnivore and herbivore fish species.
The conference will bring together leading researchers, engineers and scientists in the domain of interest from around the world.
Selected papers of FABA 2014 will be published in Turkish
Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (TrJFAS) published by CFRI. TrJFAS is
a refereed academic journal and accepted to SCI Expanded List.
It
will be a great honour for us to host you in Trabzon; the greatest city with
combination of sea and forests together.
With wish to have a faithful!
Assoc. Prof. Dr. İlhan AYDIN
Chair of Organizing Committee
