In its first edition in Latin America, the International Symposium on the Physiology of Fish Reproduction will gather in Manaus from June 3 to 8, the greatest experts from around the world to discuss the most recent scientific discoveries in the area. The event will be held at the Tropical Hotel, in the West Zone of the capital, and is open registration on the website: www.isrpf2018.com.br.

Among the confirmed speakers are international reference researchers such as Olivier Kah of the National Center for Scientific Research in France; Wei Ge, from the University of Macau, China; Goro Yoshizaki, from the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Japan; and Graham Young of the University of Washington in the United States.
