Accepted Sessions

The sessions are dealt within nine research thematics:

A/ Origin, Evolution, Taxonomy and Bio/Phylogeography of Indo-Pacific Fishes

B/ Fisheries and Aquaculture in Indo-Pacific

C/ Recent advances in the study of coral reef fishes

D/ Biology, Ecology, Ethology and Conservation of Sharks, Rays and Top-predators

E/ Freshwater, Diadromous, Cryptobenthic, Mesophotic and Deep-Sea Fishes, an essential knowledge to better manage the global biodiversity in the Indo-Pacific

F/ Fish facing local and global threats and potential solutions

G/ Long Term Monitoring in Indo-Pacific Fishes

H/ The future of fish and human interactions

I/ Other topics (e.g. Women in Marine Sciences; General session)

At the 10th IPFC, the participants have three possibilities to present their research:

oral presentation (around 12-15 min – according to the number of speakers),
poster (85 cm wide and 180 cm high),
and flash talk.
