However, we welcome additional perspectives in submitted abstracts for oral and poster presentations. The Scientific Committee will review all abstracts and those which meet the scientific quality of reviewing will be selected for oral presentation. Abstracts submitted to the congress will be published in Book of Abstract that will be distributed to participants during the conference.
Selected presentations of this conference will be printed as full paper after peer reviewing in a special issue of Hydrobiologia(Springer- http://link.springer.com/
