Decapod crustaceans are exploited throughout the world from the cold deep waters of the North Pacific, Arctic and Antarctic oceans to subtropical and tropical shallow water estuaries and coastal waters. Their life history characteristics, although diverse, have a number of features in common that provides a rationale for discussion of their assessment and regulation as a functional  as well as a taxonomic group. 

Exploitation is increasing in many coastal and deep water crustacean fisheries. Understanding of population dynamics is weak, however, and little assessment work has been undertaken for many stocks. This conference will address a number of themes that have direct relevance to the development of sustainable fisheries for these species starting at the level of life history and progressing through methods of assessment to management policy and regulation. 

The conference language will be in English.  

The proceedings will be published in Fisheries Research in 1 or 2 volumes.

3 copies of the manuscript should be submitted to the conference desk at
the meeting. See the Guide for Authors at the journal web page


 

Registration will be 250 Euros, student and EDFAM paticipants free.
