WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO DARWIN!
ASFB recognises Indigenous people as the traditional custodians and occupants of our land and water, and that they have a spiritual, environmental, social, cultural and economic relationship with their traditional fish and fisheries. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
Join us in Darwin, NT from August 18th to 21st for the 2025 ASFB Conference. Held during Darwin’s idyllic dry season, this event combines a diverse blend of cutting-edge fish science and exciting networking opportunities with the stunning natural beauty of the Top End.
This year’s venue, the Darwin Convention Centre, is located in the vibrant Darwin Waterfront Precinct, offering a stunning backdrop for professional exchange and connection in the heart of the city.
Our theme, ‘Connecting Waters: Science, Policy and People for a stronger fish future’ seeks to highlight the importance of uniting diverse perspectives across contemporary research and management to address the challenges facing aquatic ecosystems. The program will feature inspiring keynotes, thought-provoking break-out sessions, and dynamic workshops.
Join us as we explore new discoveries, ideas, visions and best practices as we bring together science, policy and people for a stronger fish future!
