THEME & TOPICS
Since its foundation in Dalian, China in 2007, the Asian Fisheries Acoustics Society (AFAS) has successfully organized five annual meetings under the umbrella name of “The International Conference on Underwater Acoustics for Sustainable Fisheries in Asia”. These conferences have effectively promoted the dissemination and development of fisheries acoustics in Asia. The fifth annual conference of AFAS was held in Qingdao, China from 17 to 18 November 2011. The theme of conference was “application of acoustic science and technology for low-carbon fishery”
to
reflect the need to develop a “greener” fishery.
The upcoming sixth annual conference of
AFAS will be held in Busan, Korea from 26 to 27 November 2012. Both full presentation and short note on these special
topics are welcome. Short note is deemed to inspire further discussions
on the 3 special topics. Keynote speakers will be invited to give presentations
on “fisheries resource management in their countries”. Scientists, researchers
and manufactures in the field of fishery acoustics as well as other fishery
research areas are welcome. The traditional 4 major topics in relation
to the 4 study groups of AFAS will of course still be main topics of the
sixth annual meeting.

ABOUT BUSAN
Busan, a bustling city of
approximately 3.6 million residents, is located on the southeastern tip of the
Korean peninsula. The size of Busan is 767.35km2 which is 0.8% of the whole
land of the Korean Peninsula. The natural environment of Busan is a perfect
example of harmony between mountains, rivers and sea. Its geography includes a
coastline with superb beaches and scenic cliffs, mountains which provide
excellent hiking and extraordinary views, and hot springs scattered throughout
the city. Busan enjoys four distinct seasons and a temperate climate that never
gets too hot or too cold.
Busan is the second largest city in Korea. Its deep harbor and gentle tides
have allowed it to grow into the largest container handling port in the country
and the fifth largest in the world. The city's natural endowments and rich
history have resulted in Busan's increasing reputation as a world class city of
tourism and culture, and it is also becoming renowned as an international
convention destination.
