8. Conferences co-funded by AquaFish CRSP Algae conference Schedule slipped due to delays in funding. New plan is to hold a special session at WAS 2009 in Veracruz. Special session has already been approved by program committee. ISTA 8 Symposium is coming along very well. Oct 12-14, 2008 at Cairo Convention Center.
