Why Host a FSBI Symposium?
The Fisheries Society of the British Isles has held an annual symposium since 1977 and they have become an integral part of the Society’s activities. It is always the highlight of our year and the key to many of our society's successes.

What Our Members think of Our Symposiums
"The symposium has already helped me expand my knowledge, networking, and scientific vision.
All of the lectures and posters during the symposium were of significantly high quality and really helped facilitate my understanding of many new concepts that I have not come across within my research focus."

Aquatic wildlife conservation researcher
"If I did not join the FSBI or apply for the 2019 conference, I would not have found my perfect PhD project.
The conference was fantastically orchestrated, the talks were incredibly delivered, and the social events provided the chance to meet wonderful scientists, in which their work I have been reading and admiring throughout my studies."
