The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society is pleased to announce the 16th International Congress on the Biology of Fish (ICBF) which will be held July 12-16, 2026, on the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada.
Organized by The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society and hosted by UBC, the 16th ICBF meeting will provide an opportunity for researchers and scientists from all over the world to share and collaborate on developments and findings in fish physiology.
Following a plenary session with talks by leading international experts, the 16th ICBF will comprise a full program of concurrent thematic sessions over the span of four days, led by renowned researchers. The range of topics will reflect current research in fish physiology, conservation physiology, environmental physiology, evolutionary physiology, use of fishes in biomedical research, and other emerging issues. In addition, session organizers will select oral and poster presentations from submitted abstracts with a special emphasis on contributions by early career researchers.
We also invite your to have a look at the symposium 'Metabolism in Motion: Mechanics, Physiology, and Ecology of Fish Movement', that will take place during these dates, featuring talks by Yangfan Zhang, Katja Anttila, and George Lauder exploring the fascinating dynamics of fish locomotion.
