The Society's objectives are to promote the conservation, development, and wise use of the fisheries; to promote and evaluate the development and advancement of all branches of fisheries science and practice; to gather and disseminate to Society members and the general public scientific, technical, and other information about fisheries science and practice through publications, meetings, and other forms of communication; and to encourage the teaching of fisheries science and practice in colleges and universities and the continuing education and development of fisheries professionals. ...

The Freshwater Biological Association (FBA), located on the shore of Windermere, in Cumbria and alongside the River Frome at East Stoke in Dorset, is a thriving membership association, independent scientific organisation and a registered charity. Founded in 1929, we promote freshwater science through innovative research, maintained specialist scientific facilities, a programme of scientific meetings, production of publications, and by providing sound independent scientific opinion. The FBA collection of information on freshwater science is one of the finest in the world, covering all aspects of freshwater ecology, as well as pollution, phycology, microbiology, invertebrate taxonomy and ecology, sediment and water chemistry, aquaculture and fisheries management and hydrology. ...

Scientists and water managers have collected vast amounts of data on freshwater biodiversity. Nonetheless it is often impossible to be certain of the geographic range of a species. Why is this? The existing data from all of these studies are widely dispersed, gathered in locally-managed databases, many of which are not publicly available. In summary, the pieces of the global freshwater biodiversity puzzle are scattered, and it is difficult even to find them. What a story they could they tell if all of the pieces were combined and easily accessible to scientists, policy makers and planners? Such an integrated and accessible dataset will be used to improve and establish effective plans for conservation and for a better understanding of the services provided by aquatic ecosystems. BioFresh will improve the capacity to protect and manage freshwater biodiversity by building an information platform as a gateway for scientific research on freshwater biodiversity, by raising awareness of the importance of freshwater biodiversity and its role in providing ecosystem services, and by predicting the future responses of freshwater biodiversity to multiple stressors in the face of global change. ...

Biohydrology 2013 addresses many contemporary issues surrounding water scarcity, climate change and increase pressure on land. The conference focusses on the interaction between biological and hydrological systems, including positive impacts such as water harnessing and flood mitigation, and negative aspects including threats to food production, water repellency and environmental degradation through unsustainable land use practices. Experts from hydrology, ecology, soil science, geography, biology, forestry and engineering will meet together in a forum designed to get different disciplines working together. ...

Dies ist die Webpräsenz des französischen Vereins der Limnologie. Die Disziplin der Limnologie beschäftigt sich mit Süßwasser-Ökosystemen, sowie ihren physikalischen, chemischen oder biologischen Aspekten, und trägt so zu ihrer Erhaltung und nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung bei. Die Association Francaise de Limnologie (AFL) ist ein Zusammenschluss von mehr als 200 Mitglieder, im Detail Lehrer, Forscher, Studenten, Manager und Anwender von Wasserressourcen und "assoziierten" Mitgliedern wie Institutionen, Firmen oder Vereinigungen, die sich über das Wissen und die Verwaltung der Binnengewässer informieren, und mögliche Probleme mit Binnengewässern klären wollen. Es wird jedes Jahr eine wissenschaftliche Konferenz abgehalten. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt]
Budapest welcomes the opportunity to host the 32nd Congress of the International Society of Limnology from August 4th to 9th, 2013, devoted to the theme of „Diverse water - rich life". Themes of the Congress include biodiversity, ecology of main groups of animals and plants, aquatic ecosystems, physical and chemical topics, and more. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The International Society of Limnology (formerly International Association of Theoretical and Applied Limnology; Societas Internationalis Limnologiae, SIL) promotes and communicates new and emerging knowledge among limnologists to advance the understanding of inland aquatic ecosystems and their management. The aim of SIL, which was founded in 1922, is to further the study and understanding of all aspects of limnology. A primary means toward this end is through the organization of triennial congresses to promote scientific intercourse among those pursuing fundamental research and those concerned with practical fishery, pollution, and water-supply problems. Generally about a week is devoted to contributed papers and discussions and a week or longer for scientific excursions to lakes and rivers, laboratories, fishery institutions, places where pollution problems are being addressed, and water treatment facilities. Any member is entitled to give a lecture on one of a great diversity of subjects of special interest. A few authorities are invited to lecture on subjects of particular current interest and other speakers are encouraged to make contributions to selected themes of either outstanding universal topicality or of special relevance to the host country. ...

A considerable number of interdisciplinary researches have been developed at the interface between hydrology and ecology during the last decade. The increasing number of peer-reviewed papers on the topic demonstrates the vitality of this theme. This interest in coupling hydrological and ecological studies has been triggered by purely scientific questions related to the quantification of the role of interactions between hydrological and biological processes on surface and groundwater resources and quality, but also by the importance of these physical and biological interactions at small, local and regional scales. These scales are of paramount importance for applied environmental issues related to air and water quality or biodiversity dynamics for instance. The aim of this fourth conference after the three last ones in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic in 2006, and in Vienna in Austria in 2009 and 2011, is fourfold: i) to present new findings and approaches on interactions between hydrology and ecology, ii) to promote interdisciplinary interactions on water related issues between hydrology, hydrogeology, biogeochemistry, microbial ecology and ecology, iii) to explore emerging patterns, breakthroughs and Challenges, and iv) to provide management applications and guidelines to tackle environmental issues. To address the relevant issues, the conference aims to bring together experts from different disciplines such as hydrologists (groundwater, surface water), ecologists, biologists, subsurface microbiologists, environmental biogeochemists, eco-technologists, geomorphologists, hydraulic engineers, forest managers, nature reserve managers, regional and landscape planners, as well as experts from governmental institutions. ...
