Conference Description:

One important way in which the Council seeks to achieve these ends is through the organisation of a major World Fisheries Congress every 4 years.
The Congress has hosted 5 highly successful meetings, the most recent being the 5th in Yokohama in 2008. For 2012, the 6th Congress moves to Europe, where it will be held inEdinburgh, the beautiful capital of Scotland, hosted by the Fisheries Society of the British Isles.
