The tentative schedule for this year will be a social in the evening of 2/7; research presentations during the day 2/8, business meeting and banquet meal (and completion of silent auction) that evening followed by a second social; and a workshop on 2/9 (may add some talks in the morning if we have more submissions than we can fit on 2/8). 

This year’s workshop will cover common issues in fish disease and fish health and will be held on 2/9/2012.  It will cover issues from the prospective of both hatchery work/captive fish and natural populations in the field.  The workshop is being led by two faculty members from the OSU Veterinary Medicine College that specialize in zoo and wild animal medicine.
