FishBase and SeaLifeBase Symposium (hybrid)

The 2023 FishBase and SeaLifeBase Symposium will focus on fish diversity and aquatic databases and aims to bring together various approaches used to study this fascinating vertebrate group and the marine environment. Presentations will encompass a wide range of fish-related studies, spanning from local to global scales, morphology to genetics, fundamental to applied research, data-poor to data-rich regions, and from databases to models. This year is the fourth time that the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, one of the founding members, will be hosting the steering committee meeting and symposium (in hybrid format), to be held on 4 to 8 September 2023. VLIZ colleague Leen Vandepitte will present about the link between the FishBase and WoRMS, among many other interesting speakers.
