The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is a leading multidisciplinary scientific forum for the exchange of knowledge on all aspects of marine sciences pertaining to the North Atlantic, North Sea, and the Baltic Sea. This year's Annual Science Conference is held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and five researches from the FEM Group are giving presentations on several topics related to fisheries and ecosystem management.
