The Australian Society for Fish Biology (ASFB) is holding its 2010 Annual Conference and Symposium at Melbourne Museum. The theme of the symposium is 'Climate change and the aquatic environment - the future for fish and fisheries'. Leading experts from around the world will present their latest research findings and provide insights into the potential impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems.

Presented by ASFB and Museum Victoria, a free public lecture featuring four of Australia's key fish and fisheries experts will allow further discussion on the symposium topic. This talk will provide the audience with credible scientific findings and predictions on our marine and freshwater environments, fish and fisheries.

Topics that will be covered include the impacts of climate change on fish habitats, the effects of temperature on fish reproduction and the development of ecosystem models to investigate climate change impacts on fisheries.
