GLIN==> Physical-Biological Coupling Meeting (August 16, 2011)

Physical-biological coupling and fish recruitment in large lakes:

State of knowledge and opportunities for progress

Detroit, Michigan, August 16, 2011

The Great Lakes Fishery Commission is sponsoring a day of scientific
presentations that will focus on the importance of physical processes to
understanding variation in fish recruitment in the Laurentian Great Lakes.
Presentations will be given by both Great Lakes and marine scientists,
covering relevant topics that include: 1) case studies involving
physical-biological coupling from Great Lakes, coastal marine, and open
ocean ecosystems; 2) the benefits of physical-biological coupling approaches
to fisheries management; and 3) modeling and technological advances related
to conducting biophysical modeling. The list of confirmed presenters, as
well as their general presentation topics, can be found on the second page
of the attached announcement.  More information about both
physical-biological coupling and its importance to fish recruitment can be
found at  <http://www.glfc.org/research/FRra.php>
