PICES 12th Annual Meeting

 

Scientific Program
The Keynote Lecture at the Opening Session will be given by Prof. Suam Kim (Department of Marine Biology, Pukyong National University, Busan), on "Application of otolith chemistry to interpret some issues on oceanic variability and fisheries".

S1: Science Board Symposium (0.75 day)
Human dimensions of ecosystem variability

Co-Convenors: R. Ian Perry (SB), Vladimir I. Radchenko (BIO), Yukimasa Ishida (FIS), John E. Stein (MEQ), Kuh Kim (POC), Igor I. Shevchenko (TCODE), and Harold P. Batchelder & Makoto Kashiwai (CCCC).

S2: POC/BIO Topic Session (1 day)
Physical and biological responses of coastal ocean ecosystems and estuaries to inputs of freshwater

Co-Convenors: Michael J. Dagg (U.S.A.) & Yury I. Zuenko (Russia).

S3: REX Topic Session (1/2 day)
Influence of fishing and/or invasive species on ecosystem structure in coastal regions around the Pacific Rim

Co-Convenors: William T. Peterson (U.S.A.) & Yoshiro Watanabe (Japan).

S4: MEQ/BIO Topic Session (1 day)
Aquaculture in the ocean ecosystem

Co-convenors: Ik-Kyo Chung, In-Kwon Jang (Korea), Julia K. Parrish & John E. Stein (U.S.A.).

Globally the demand for seafood is rising, with projections that aquaculture will provide a steadily increasing proportion of the supply of seafood for human consumption. With this likely growth, aquaculture operations will expand to additional coastal areas and most probably into the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of several countries. Progress has been made in evaluating the ecological risk and economic benefits from aquaculture in coastal areas, in developing standards for conducting aquaculture operations, and in exploratory research on the feasibility of offshore mariculture operations. In this session we want to highlight recent developments relating to environmentally sustainable aquaculture, research on aquaculture in the EEZ, and begin to explore marine aquaculture from an ecosystem perspective. One area of interest is research and science underpinning harmonization of aquaculture activities with other human activities that occur in the coastal zone under the concept of integrated coastal zone management. To examine aquaculture within this broader context, presentations exploring the interrelationships between aquaculture and fishery management are also encouraged. A publication is planned for this session.

S5: MODEL Session (1/2 day)
Comparison of modeling approaches to describe ecological food webs, marine ecosystem processes, and ecosystem response to climate variability
