Funded Activity Summary

There is a wide diversity of wild caught fisheries and aquacultural activities dealing with molluscs, including (but not limited to) wild caught scallops, squid, octopus, abalone, and aquaculture industries for pearl and edible oysters, abalone, mussels, etc. Researchers tend to talk to other researchers in their individual industries. The World Congress presents an outstanding opportunity for researchers working on molluscan fisheries and aquaculture to interact closely with each other and also with other researchers from throughout the world who work on numerous aspects of molluscan biology. For example, a symposium is planned larval development of molluscs, which has implications for researchers on molluscan aquaculture. Attendance of scientists working on other aspects of molluscs will provide a fertile ground for input from high quality researchers into molluscan fisheries and aquaculture.

Objectives:
1. To bring together 15 leading fisheries and aquacultural scientists working on molluscs to present papers reporting the latest research in their fields.
2. To encourage participation of other scientists who will not be funded.
3. To provide opportunities for discussions of the latest research in the various fields of molluscan fisheries and aquaculture, and to provide opportunities for full discussion of ideas across fields.
4. To publish selected papers in a format which can be widely distributed.
5. To improve research strategies and applied outcomes for molluscan fisheries and aquaculture industries.
