ICASF 2022 : International Conference on Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries is the premier interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of new advances and research results in the fields of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries. The conference will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars in the domain of interest from around the world. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
-
Fisheries and Aquaculture
