Notice Information

Notice Title

Fish Species Symposium

Notice Description

The contractor would organise and deliver two species-specific symposiums to be held before April 2023, and produce a summary report. The events aim to bring researchers, regulators, and Defra ALBs together at species-specific symposiums to: i) derive a clear consensus on current ecological understanding in England, and how this may vary across the species range, ii) discuss how this understanding can be used by managers to improve the conservation status of English populations, and iii) identify remaining evidence gaps hindering management/conservation measures. Ideally, these will be one or two day technical events focusing on a particular taxa of interest. We are looking for two events - one focused on Smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) and the other on lampreys, specifically Brook, River and Sea Lamprey (Lampetra planeri, Lampetra fluviatilis and Petromyzon marinus,).
