The Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) annual meeting for spring 2011 will be in Huntsville, AL. And I'll be the official local host along with the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
I've been thinking of organizing a Fishes of the Southeast Symposium within the bigger meeting, maybe with NANFA co-sponsorship. But this will only work if others are interested in attending and presenting. So, this is my first call for interest on various peoples' part. I'm open to various ideas and themes that could be organized, especially around conservation questions but also any aspect of fish biology / ichthyology.

All right! ASB is always a blast. If all goes well that'll be the time for me to present preliminary data from my thesis. I really have nothing to add except that I hope you can get a fish meeting together and I hope to be able to help.

How about hatchery production without hatchery selection and hatchery environmental effects. Sadly, I am useless for habitat issues which are more important.
Something that been catching my eye lately is the interspecies disparities in larval ontegeny / behavior that are more pronounced than disparities between adults of same.

If the symposium is to be multiple sessions, or even if not, talks could be organized by drainage. Say, Cumberland drainage, upper TN River drainage, lower TN R drainage, Mobile system, etc. and make the systems smaller or more inclusive depending on the number of presentations. What would be really cool would be to include some mussel and crayfish talks along with fish talks for each drainage... might be some informative parallels. I'm sure I'll have something to present, but right now I've only got next year planned and have no clue where I'll be after that, so I can't promise I'd be there.

With enough interest, having one or more drainage foci would be truly impressive. Especially talks highlighting any coevolutionary relationships such as the relationships between species of fish and mussel glochidia would be welcome.

why not coordinate something with Southeastern Fishes Council?

I think it's going to be here: http://www.alapark.c...keguntersville/
November 12-14 (or something like that), 2009
It was a pretty good meeting this past time, with a good mix of talks from phylogenetics to stream restoration.

Well, that's certainly an easy commute for me anyway. The buildings at this state park were in dire need of restoration, hopefully the meeting rooms have better lighting and sound now. Our department used to have retreats there and it was like meeting in a series of caves. The views of the river are good, if you can get beyond thinking that it's a dam-altered system.
