| Symposium's goal: To revitalize international cooperation on investigations of small pelagic fishes, and to develop a framework to address unresolved questions such as the impact of climate and fishing pressure on the resilience of small pelagic populations. The symposium will build on the results of 'the Effects of Climate Change on the World's Oceans' symposium in Santos, Brazil (2015) as well as regional meetings on forage fish in Nantes (2012) and the American Fisheries Society (AFS) in Quebec (2014). Themes: - Environmental control of productivity and distribution
- Early life history and recruitment processes
- Trophodynamic role between plankton and top predators in different ecosystems
- Mechanisms of teleconnection and synchrony
- Management and economics
