In July 2022, having received the AFS International Fisheries Section (AFS-IFS) Fellow Award, I had the opportunity to travel to the UK to attend the 2022 FSBI Symposium. Having only attended more niche meetings and workshops during my PhD up until that point, I was excited for the opportunity to meet international colleagues and to learn about a diverse range of fisheries research.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2022 FSBI symposium was held at Nottingham Trent University, a beautiful campus and the perfect setting for such a meeting. The theme of the meeting was Fish in a Dynamic World, and the presentations covered a variety of topics ranging from effects of anthropogenic stressors to physiology and behavioral ecology to tools being developed to conserve at-risk species and populations. The goal of the symposium was to \u201cexplore the ways in which fish are able to occupy a broad range of naturally dynamic environments, as well as their capacity to adapt to habitat loss and directional environmental change\u201d; I was excited to present some preliminary results from my PhD research studying the diversity of chars (Salvelinus spp.) in the central Canadian Arctic. There were a few other Arctic char presentations throughout the week, mainly focused on European populations, and it was interesting to learn new things about the species! The week wasn\u2019t all work – there was a decent amount of fun sprinkled in as well, in the form of a high-energy pub quiz, a tour of the nearby Nottingham Castle, a banquet, and a barbeque.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised at how international the meeting was; it was great to meet so many scientists, especially other grad students and early career researchers, who had traveled from all over to present on research conducted\u00a0<\/span>around the globe. There were a few people at the FSBI meeting who I had met at a previous salmonid ECR workshop, and it was nice to have the opportunity to catch up with them. I also enjoyed meeting the 2021 AFS-IFS\u00a0Fellow, Sarah Borsetti, at the symposium.<\/p>\n

I am very grateful to the American Fisheries Society – International Fisheries Section and to the FSBI for the opportunity to attend the 2022 FSBI Symposium; without the Fellow Award, this is not a meeting I would have been able to go to. So many people on the ground at the symposium made the week a seamless experience, and I am thankful for all of their efforts. It was my first time in the UK, and I hope to be back for another FSBI meeting in the future!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
