The theme of the meeting is “Fisheries in Flux: How Do We Ensure Our Sustainable Future.” Fisheries and fish communities are not static properties of ecosystems. Stressors such as overexploitation, species invasions, habitat degradation, climate change, and water resource demand are a few of the factors that drive changes. These changes potentially threaten sustainable use.
