Registration and Abstract Submission

Abstract Submission

Abstract submission is through the online abstract submission form (this link is active from 4 March 2015). An email will be sent to previous ISSESR delegates with the registration brochure at this time, alerting them to the opening of the online forms for abstract submission and registration.

Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words.

Note that this is a shared abstract submission portal between 5th ISSESR, and the co-run ASFB 2015. Please make sure you select the theme 'ISSESR', and the most appropriate sub-theme. Theme titles have been abbreviated on the online abstract submission form.

Student delegates are eligible to be considered for student awards (best poster and best oral presentation). Please make the appropriate selection on the abstract submission form.

5th ISSESR Proceedings

As for previous ISSESR, delegates will be able to submit papers for publication in the Symposium Proceedings Special Issue (likely in Fisheries Research). A call for papers will be made to delegates who have submitted abstracts and/or indicated they would like to submit a paper for publication, in early May 2015. For more information please contact Dr. Matt Taylor.
