The 35th Regional Aquatic Workshop
Early in the 21st Century aquariums face an uncertain future. Emerging technologies, an increased information bandwidth, and a society increasingly connected, present a range of new challenges and new opportunities. For the 35th RAW we are asking authors to submit contributions that inform how aquariums will operate further into 21st Century.
Areas of focus during the meeting will include: Innovation in AQ sciences; Invertebrate Husbandry – with emphasis on diverse invert species; The Art of Displays – elements that make a “great” display (lighting, aquascaping, etc.); Husbandry of aquatic plants/algae (the non-nuisance kind); Aquarium research partnerships and collaborations; Mental wellness/ Employee wellbeing, Institutional/Industry Knowledge Retention/Transfer, and Life Support Systems. All submissions will be considered, but submissions are encouraged in these domains.
All verbal presentations will be video recorded by Animal Professionals and will be available on their website http://animalprofessional.com/
Submissions not accepted for full-length oral presentation may be directed toward the short-format session.
