Advances in the Population Ecology of Stream Salmonids VII<\/strong> is the seventh meeting in a long-running international conference series held every four years. The conference creates a focused forum for scientists, resource managers, conservation practitioners and other professionals working on stream salmonids and freshwater ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u00c9vora meeting will provide an opportunity to present new research, compare approaches across regions, discuss management challenges and strengthen international collaboration. Particular attention will be given to how salmonid populations and their habitats are responding to rapid environmental change, and to the science needed to support effective conservation and sustainable management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will take place in \u00c9vora, Portugal, from 17 to 21 May 2027<\/strong> and will be hosted by the University of \u00c9vora.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
