This is open to anyone interested in presenting work done in fisheries and aquaculture related to science, arts, technology, or policy. The work can be presented in regular concurrent sessions as oral presentation or as poster presentation, or as an entry to student oral speed presentation competition or student poster presentation competition.

A pre-recorded 12-min presentation shall be submitted to the organizer by 15 November 2021. Once all presenters are done, there will be a question-and-answer time, where all presenters should be attending live to answer questions.
