Conference: Student Travel Support for 6th International Congress on Biology of Fish, Brazil, August 2004

摘要：第六届国际鱼类生物学大会学生旅行资助。机构：田纳西理工大学本提案旨在申请资助学生和最近的博士后研究人员参加2004年8月1日至5日在巴西马瑙斯举行的第六届国际鱼类生物学大会。这个两年一次的系列会议的目标是交流关于鱼类的细胞和有机体生理学的基本知识及其对鱼类养殖和自然种群管理的影响。这次独特的会议强调了鱼类生物学的新研究，以及如何利用它来解决诸如粮食生产、污染、全球气候变化和物种多样性等社会问题。来自世界各地约40个国家的顶级鱼类生理学家参加了会议。计划的专题讨论会包括有关鱼类繁殖、生长、营养、离子调节、发育、健康和保护等主题的报告。与以往的大会一样，以发言为基础的扩展摘要将以硬拷贝形式发布给所有与会者，并以电子格式通过大会网站（www.fishbiologycongress.org）免费向公众提供。一些专题讨论会可能会在《鱼类生理与生物化学》等初级期刊上发表。

Abstract : Student Travel Support for 6th International Congress on Biology of FishPI: Redding. Institution: Tennessee Technological UniversityThis proposal is to request funding to support travel by students andrecent postdoctoral researchers to participate as presenters at the 6th InternationalCongress on the Biology of Fish for August 1-5, 2004 in Manaus, Brazil. The goal of thisbiennial series of meetings is to communicate basic knowledge about the cellular andorganismal physiology of fish and its implications for fish culture and management ofnatural populations. This unique meeting highlights new research in the biology of fish and how it can be used to address societal issues such as food production, pollution, global climate change, and species diversity. The meeting is attended by the top fish physiologists representing about 40 nations from around the world. Symposia planned include presentations relating to fish reproduction, growth, nutrition, ion regulation, development, health, and conservation among other topics. As for previous Congresses, extended abstracts based on the presentations will be published in hard-copy for all attendees and in an electronic format available free-of-charge to the public via the Congress website (www.fishbiologycongress.org). Some special symposia may be published in primary journals, such as Fish Physiology and Biochemistry.
