Fishing Technology in the 21st Century

The theme of the meeting was "Fishing technology in the 21st Century: Integrating fishing and ecosystem conservation". The meeting was an enormous success. 280 participants representing 30 countries attended the symposium and the quality of the scientific content was of the highest order.
