THEME & TOPICS
Since its foundation in Dalian, China in 2007, the Asian Fisheries Acoustics Society (AFAS) has successfully organized six annual meetings under the umbrella named “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 sixth annual conference of AFAS was held in Busan, Korea from 26 to 28 November 2012. 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”.

SPECIAL OFFER
ABOUT TOKYO
Tokyo (東京, Tokyo) is Japan's capital and the world's most populous metropolis.
It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city
wards and multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center.
The Izu and Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo.
Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors. The city's history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa, and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens. Contrary to common perception, Tokyo also offers a number of attractive green spaces in the city center and within relatively short train rides at its outskirts.
