Conference: Fish Bioacoustics, Sensory Physiology, Behavior, and Practical Applications; May 30 thru June 2, 2001: Chicago, IL

本提案要求支持将于2001年年中在芝加哥举行的鱼类生物声学基础和应用方面会议。有些研究人员对鱼类生物声学的基本问题（听觉、声音产生等）感兴趣，有些人对使用声音来测定鱼类种群感兴趣，还有一些人对强烈声音对鱼类行为的影响以及声音控制鱼类行为的潜在用途感兴趣。然而，这些研究者之间很少有互动或合作。每个小组都有独特的知识和解决问题的方法，这些研究人员和他们的领域将从互动中受益。因此，提议会议的目的是将对鱼类生物声学的所有基础和应用方面感兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起，展示材料，分享想法，最重要的是，从彼此所采取的问题和方法中学习并发展理解。会议旨在促进这些互动，并帮助具有广泛不同研究兴趣的研究人员相互了解。会议的长期目标是教育那些在该领域通常没有专业互动的人，并帮助建立跨学科和研究领域的研究人员之间的合作

This proposal requests support for a meeting on basic and applied aspects of fish bioacoustics to be held in mid-2001 in Chicago. There are investigators interested in basic issues of fish bioacoustics ( hearing, sound production, etc.), others interested in use of sound to assay fish populations, and still others are interested in the effects of intense sound on fish behavior and the potential use of sound to control fish behavior. However, there has been very little interaction or collaboration among these investigators. Each of these groups has unique knowledge and approaches to questions, and these investigators and their fields would benefit from interactions. Thus, the purpose of the proposed meeting is to bring together investigators interested in all basic and applied aspects of fish biocacoustics to present material, share ideas, and most importantly, learn from, and develop an understanding of, the questions and approaches taken by one another. The conference is designed to foster these interactions and help investigators with widely different research interests get to know one another. Long-term goals of the conference are to educate those in the field who don't normally interact professionally, and to help establish collaborations among investigators across disciplines and research fields
