Tagging and Marking Symposium
*The American Fisheries Society, the Australian Society for Fish Biology, and the New Zealand Marine Sciences Society are pleased to announce Advances in Tagging and Marking Technology for Fisheries Management and Research, to be held in Auckland, New Zealand, February 24-28, 2008. Abstract submission and registration are available now at our website, www.fisheries.org/units/tag2008, (abstract submission deadline is 31 October) or feel free to contact brad.parsons@dnr.state.mn.us with questions. Also, please read our *Guest Director*s Line* in the June issue of Fisheries.
The sessions for Advances in Tagging and Marking Technology for Fisheries Management and Research will include: satellite tags, archival tags, acoustic tags and arrays, radio telemetry, new methods utilizing traditional internal and external tags, chemical and genetic marks, various integrated approaches, and data analysis techniques. It is the hope that discussions held at this symposium will be the impetus for even greater advances in tagging for fisheries science. Furthermore, he proceedings of this new Symposium will provide the next step beyond Fish Marking Techniques, and the proceedings from the Australian Society for Fish Biology Tagging Workshop in 1988 and Workshop on Fish Movement and Migration in 1999, into this century*s methods, technologies, advances, and challenges.
We look forward to seeing you in New Zealand!*
