Copepod Biology and Ecology
Copepod Biology and Ecology
Copepods play a vital role in the functioning of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Their intermediate functions in both bottom up and top down regulation within food webs affect nutrient cycling, mediate global change factors and support systematically and functionally diverse fishery resources. This symposium aims to address all aspects of copepod studies, including their biology, ecology, systematics, genetics, biochemistry and physiology. The role of copepods in aquaculture contributes to the success of marine and freshwater larviculture industries. They also serve as bioindicators in field and lab approaches of ecotoxicology and animal models in diverse approaches. Such and other applied aspects of copepod research are equally welcome to this session.

Crustacean Endocrino-Physiology
Crustacean Endocrino-Physiology
Organizer: Hsiang-Yin Chen, Department of Biology, National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan
Crustaceans constitute a noteworthy taxonomic group, widely distributed across diverse habitats. The intricate interplay between crustacean endocrine hormones regulates a spectrum of physiological functions. This symposium extends an invitation for presentations regarding current studies on endocrine-regulated physiology, employing state-of-the-art technologies to yield novel insights. Contributions on all research topics within this category are warmly welcomed.
Crustacean Genomics
Crustacean Genomics
We extend an invitation for your participation in the forthcoming symposium titled "Crustacean Genomics" that will serve as a forum to delve into the realms of crustacean genetics, genomics, and molecular biology. We seek your contributions to this symposium, where we anticipate the convergence of cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies, spanning areas such as Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Genome Assembly, and Transcriptomics, among others. Your participation will be instrumental to advance our understanding of genomics in crustaceans.

Ecology and Biodiversity of Coral Reef Associated Crustaceans
Organizers:
Benny K.K. Chan, Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica
Coral reefs are the most magnificent and diverse marine ecosystems and support a high diversity of associated fauna. Most of the coral reef associated crustaceans form obligated symbiotic relationships with their coral or sponges hosts, and these associated fauna are the major contributors to the overall biodiversity of the coral system. Understanding the biology, ecology and biodiversity of coral reef associated crustaceans are essential to understand symbiotic relationships of the crustaceans and their hosts. This symposium aims to gather presentations focusing on coral reef associated crustaceans and provide a forum for exchanging research insights and ideas.
Freshwater Crabs
Freshwater Crabs
Welcome to the Freshwater Crab Symposium! Freshwater crabs, a subgroup of brachyuran crabs, exhibit a unique life history characterized by their land-locked habit in freshwater environments, setting them apart from their marine counterparts. Our symposium aims to explore various facets of these fascinating creatures, with a particular focus on biodiversity, phylogeography, phylogeny, and biogeography within the realm of freshwater crabs. We also encourage discussions on any related topics related to these intriguing crustaceans. Join us in exploring the world of freshwater crabs at this symposium.

Frontiers in Crustacean Biology: Asian Perspectives - Part IV
Organizer:
Organizer:
Tadashi Kawai, Hokkaido Research Organization, Central Fisheries Research Institution, Japan
Jibom Jung, Seoul National University
This proposed symposium is a collaboration between The Crustacean Society and the Carcnological Society of Japan and aims to promote interaction among carcinologists who have contributed to the recent significant development of crustacean studies in Asia. Based on the three Asian carcinologist symposiums previously held - 'Biology: Asian Perspectives' (Tokyo, Japan, 2017), 'Frontiers in Crustacean Biology: Asian Perspectives: Part II' (TCS summer meeting, Hong Kong, 2019), and Part III (ICC10, New Zealand, 2023) - the organizers will host a fourth part of the series. This symposium open to all attendees of the TCS summer meeting 2024 and we intend to have 6-10 speakers. We encourage early-career TCS members in Asia to participate in this symposium. The main topics of this symposium are advanced and recent fields of Asian carcinology such as morphology, systematics, conservation, ecology, and physiology. Proceedings from this symposium are being considered for inclusion in the 'Advances in Crustacean Research' series published by CRC Press and Taylor & Francis Group, under the editorship of Series Editor: Ingo S. Wehrtmann. The organizers of the symposium, Tadashi Kawai and Jibom Jung, will be the editors of this proceeding. For further information or to express interest in participating, please contact the symposium organizers.
Parasitic Crustaceans
Parasitic Crustaceans
Crustaceans form a large, diverse arthropod taxon, exhibiting an enormous diversity in form as well as life cycle trait. Many crustaceans have evolved towards adopting a parasitic mode of life. This symposium invites presentations of representative groups of parasitic crustaceans, including, but not limited to, ascothoracidans, rhizocephalans, facetotectans, copepods, isopods. Studies of evolution and phylogeny, mechanism of host/parasite interaction, effects on host population, impacts on aquaculture, etc., are all welcome.

Population Genetics and Connectivity
Population Genetics and Connectivity
The concepts of population genetics and connectivity can be applied to all organisms. Some dynamic diversifications may be occurring within the same species. In this symposium, we will focus on the detections of diversification or connection in a variety of crustacean taxa, to update our understandings on these crustaceans that we may sometimes ignore.

Shrimp Diseases
Shrimp Diseases
Disease issue has become the biggest challenge for the shrimp aquaculture industry. In addition to long-standing problems such as IHHN, WSD, TS, YHD and AHPND, news of suspected emerging disease outbreaks is common in shrimp aquaculture areas around the world. This symposium aims to provide an excellent opportunity for interaction and knowledge sharing with international experts on the latest trends and developments in basic research, prevention and control of shrimp diseases. We hope this will be an exciting and unforgettable scientific symposium for all attendees.
