46th Larval Fish Conference Celebraying the great life of John Herring Sprat BLAXTER.

Our exhibition "Planktonic stages of fishes from the Portuguese coast" is also present at the 46th Larval Fish Conference. This time challenging the participants to identify the species exhibited. Good luck! 🍀🐟 Departamento de Ciências da Vida - UC Centre for Functional Ecology Filipe Martinho Milene Guerreiro

The 2nd day of the conference ended with the poster session #LFC46

Lee Fuiman started the 3rd day of the conference with an engaging plenary talk: "How did we get so far from where we began? Looking back on our team's research on maternal effects" #LFC46

The exhibition "Planktonic stages of fishes from the Portuguese coast" by Marine Research Lab is at the LFC and was used to challenge the participants to identify the species exhibited. The winner will be revealed at the Social dinner 🙂 #LFC46 Milene Guerreiro Filipe Martinho

The 3rd of conference took everyone to the Oceanário for an interesting tour #LFC46

The last day of the conference started with a fascinating talk by Dominique Robert "The importance of prey selectivity for revealing relationships linking prey availability to larval feeding success and survival potential." #LFC46

Fantastic final plenary talk by Dr. Dominique Robert 46th Larval Fish Conference. Really interesting research on the importance of high taxonomic resolution of zooplankton prey in fish larval diet studies to help elucidate the links between larval diet and survival AFS_ELHS

The award for best larval taxonomist was give to Isa Marmelo. Congratulations! #LFC46

The John Blaxter award for best student poster went to Diogo "Using morphology and molecular techniques to describe fish larvae communities in west-African insular mangroves" #LFC46 AFS_ELHS

A thank you to the volunteers for all the hard work before and during the conference #LFC46 AFS_ELHS Ana Lopes Diogo Lígia Primo, André Lima and João Almeida

It was a real pleasure to kick off the last day of this wonderful #LFC46 in Lisbon. Thanks to the conveners lab_amfaria and Susana Garrido for making this a conference to remember! AFS_ELHS 46th Larval Fish Conference

A big thank you to Ana Faria and Susana Garrido the organizers of the 46 Larval Fish Conference without whom this great event would have been possible. #LFC46 lab_amfaria AFS_ELHS

The Sally Richardson award for best student presentation went to Erica Mason for her talk "A fish tale as old as time: larval abundance is related to spawning stock size - or is it?" #LFC46 AFS_ELHS

Thanks to everyone who attended this year's Conference in #Lisbon! We had a great time hosting and listening to the wonderful talks & posters. Until next year's #LFC47 conference in Ohio, US! AFS_ELHS #larvalfish #larvalbiology #larvae
