| Coastwide
Salmonid Genetics Meeting
June 6 – 7, 2008 Olympia Washington
We invite you to Olympia, WA June 6 – 7, 2008 for
the Coastwide Salmonid Genetic Meeting hosted by Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife and the North
Pacific International Chapter (WA and BC)
of the American
Fisheries Society (AFS). The research community
studying salmon and trout genetics on the west coast has
met biannually for two decades to forge scientific and social
bonds. This year’s meeting will convene at the Phoenix
Inn and Suites, and is anticipated to be
a vibrant gathering. We expect a strong slate of contributed
presentations from agency professionals, academic faculty,
and students, along with a poster session and the usual
evening socials (on the shores of Puget Sound). We hope
to see you here in June!
The Program Committee invites abstracts for presentations
and posters about salmonid genetics topics of interest.
Please submit abstracts for individual oral and poster presentations
on-line
by May 15, 2008. Students are strongly encouraged to participate.
Registration
Please note that registration fees will not be waived
for contributed session participants. However, students
are encouraged to volunteer for meeting logistical tasks
to have registration waived.
Your registration includes all conference materials,
morning and afternoon refreshments, evening socials, and
Saturday’s banquet.
The following link will take you to a secure third-party
site (123SignUp.com) for registration and payment.
