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

这项建议要求支持将于2001年年中在芝加哥举行的关于鱼类生物声学的基本和应用方面的会议。 有些研究人员对鱼类生物声学的基本问题（听觉、发声等）感兴趣，其他人对使用声音来分析鱼类种群感兴趣，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，这些调查人员之间的互动或合作很少。 每个小组都有独特的知识和解决问题的方法，这些调查人员和他们的领域将从互动中受益。 因此，拟议会议的目的是汇集对鱼类生物声学的所有基本和应用方面感兴趣的研究人员，以提供材料，分享想法，最重要的是，相互学习和了解彼此采取的问题和方法。 会议旨在促进这些互动，并帮助研究人员与广泛不同的研究兴趣去了解彼此。 会议的长期目标是教育那些在该领域谁不通常专业互动，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
