9th Indo-Pacific Fish Conference

Time: All day

Location: Okinawa, Japan

Description: Symposium entitled “Top predatory fish in the Indo-Pacific ecosystems”
http://www.fish-isj.jp/9ipfc

Top predatory fishes of Indo-Pacific region are represented by the variety of different
species, including sharks, large skates and rays, barracudas, lancetfish, daggertooth,
tunas and billfishes, halibuts, sablefish, cod, toothfishes, etc. However, diet
compositions and forage resources consumed by these large predators are studied
insufficiently, level of feeding competition between them is largely unknown, and the
role of top predators in the ecosystems is poorly understood. Meanwhile, many of
top predators are important targets (e.g. tunas, billfishes, halibuts, cod, sablefish,
toothfishes) of trawl, longline, net, pot, trap, and troll fisheries. These fisheries may
impact ecosystem structure, e.g. if large top predators are overfished, abundance of
forage fishes may increase or one predatory fish might be replaced by another. The
knowledge of feeding habits and trophic relations of large top predatory fishes might
help to understand fluctuations of their abundance and to make exploitation of their
resources sustainable.

Symposium themes:
1. Diet composition of top predatory fish in different areas of Indo-Pacific region;
2. Forage resources consumed by top predatory fish in the Indo-Pacific;
3. Trophic relations and feeding competition between large top predators;
4. Fisheries impact to ecosystem structure through the harvest of both large top
predators and/or their forage resources.

These are main topics within the theme of symposium but papers related to other
relevant topics within symposium overall theme are encouraged.

Participation: Colleagues interested to attend this symposium should contact
organizer (see email addresses above) detailing their proposed contributions
(prospective title, oral or poster) till 31th July at the latest. See you in Okinawa!
