THEME & TOPICS
The
Asian Fisheries Acoustics Society (AFAS) has successfully
organized eleven annual meetings under the umbrella named “The
International Conference on Underwater Acoustics for
Sustainable Fisheries in Asia” since it was established in Dalian, China in 2007. The
annual meetings have been
effectively promoted the dissemination and
development of fisheries acoustics in Asia. The eleventh
annual meeting of AFAS was held in
13
-
15 November 2017 at Guangzhou, China.
Approximately 100 scientists from 8 countries/regions including
Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia, Norway

ABOUT JEJU
Jeju has a mild oceanic climate
throughout the year with the smallest annual temperature range
in the country. The temperature for the hottest summer months
averages no more than 34.7℃ and no less than -1.5℃ for winter. The island is 73 km wide
and 41 km long with a total area of 1,848 km2. Jeju
the largest island in South Korea was created approximately
from 700 to 1,200 thousand years ago when lava spewed from a
sub-sea volcano and surfaced above the waters. Then 100 to 300
thousand years ago, another volcanic eruption formed Mt.
Halla. The final volcanic eruption took place approximately 25
thousand years ago and
created the crater lake and Baekrok-dam at the summit of the
mountain.
Mt. Halla rises in the center of Jeju
up to 1950m above the sea level. The mountain slopes are
covered with dark gray volcanic rocks and volcanic ash soil.
Because of relative isolation from the rest of the
world, the island’s nature has been well preserved in its
prehistoric state. That is why traveling to Jeju is to travel
back in time. Jeju’s natural environment has been
preserved as best as possible. The fantastically shaped rocks
decorating the seashores, the hundreds of Oreums (secondary
volcanos) and the rarest species of flora around the
Baekrok-dam lake are precious treasures waiting for visitors to be
discovered. None can see Jeju unless one looks. It is
like seeing only trees before entering a forest.
