Session: Guidance and Advances In The Use and Application Of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis To Fish Management and Ecology (143rd Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society)

Guidance and Advances In The Use and Application Of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis To Fish Management and Ecology

Thursday, September 12, 2013: 1:00 PM-5:00 PM

Izard (Statehouse Convention Center)

Although it has long had use in assessing water content in humans, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was first suggested as a tool of assessing fish body condition in 2001. Since that time incorporation of BIA methods and applications to fish ecology and management have grown rapidly. Thus, BIA technology and application to fisheries is new and information on standard methods is scarce. For that reason, this symposium seeks to bring together researchers from across North America who have direct experience with BIA to present applications to fish ecology and management. The session will conclude with an expert panel session in which standardized methods for applying BIA and potential applications will be discussed.
