The overall title of this conference is “Herring: Linking biology, ecology and population status in the context of changing environments”. The conference aims to draw together scientific disciplines including biology, ecology, oceanography, population dynamics and economics to achieve a synthesis enabling the management of herring populations in the 21st Century. The conference builds on other initiatives that have taken place in Europe and America in recent years.

The Linking Herring Science Committee spans Europe, Asia and North America. Linking Herring will bring expertise and information on herring stocks in the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific regions together in a convivial and productive environment, in Galway in 2008. The Conference is co-sponsored by ICES, PICES and GLOBEC.
