Looking for somewhere to publish your next paper? The #JFB symposium special issue call for papers is open! Remember, it doesn't have to be work that was presented at #FSBI2025, and all work published in #JFB supports the FSBI and our charitable funding, especially for ECRs! bit.ly/40B1nKM

Our final medal award winner is Oliver Crimmen, of the Nautral History Museum (London), who was awarded this year's Le Cren Medal. With over 50 years of experience, some species are now present in the collection but extinct in the wild, which gives much pause for thought #FSBI2025

This year's FSBI medal is awarded to @mjjuanjorda.bsky.social. Maria talks to us today about what tuna have taught her throughout her career. Some very useful lessons learned and advice for the ECRs in the audience! #FSBI2025

The FSBI Medal Winners session starts with a talk from Colin Adams. Colin, previous President of the FSBI, has been awarded this year's Beverton Medal. Given the FSBI's focus on supporting ECRs, Colin draws on his wealth of experience, with a talk titled "Surviving a career in research" #FSBI2025

An exciting excursion to the @afbini.gov.uk River Bush Salmon Station, followed by a trip to the mouth of the river bush, to round off the day! A treat to see some impressive returning salmon, as well as dolphins just off the coast, probably feeding on some now non-so-returning salmon... #FSBI2025
