Fish screens & fish heads

Fish Screens Australia is sponsoring a special session at the 2024 Australian Society for Fish Biology Conference in Newcastle, NSW.

Science | Strategies | Solutions

The 2nd Trans-Tasman Workshop on Modern Fish-Protection Screening will bring together experts (a.k.a. “fish heads”) from Australia and New Zealand, building on the inaugural workshop in Christchurch last year.

The special session will cover the latest innovations, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of fish protection in aquatic environments and the sustainability of human water use. Topics will include:

  • interdisciplinary implementation of this best practice
  • emerging technologies and advancements in design and manufacturing; and,
  • the integration of ecological, economic, social, and cultural considerations.

Attendees will also revisit some of the key recommendations arising from last year and engage in forward-thinking discussions to guide the future of screening across Oceania.

The session will be co-chaired by Tom Rayner, Rod Price, Craig Boys and Mike Hickford.
