This symposium will highlight Dr. Kirk Winemiller’s contribution to the ecology and conservation of freshwater ecosystems in tropical and temperate ecoregions. The symposium is organized by a large number of fisheries scientists who are mentees of Dr. Winemiller and continue to work in the field of fisheries ecology and conservation. The symposium will feature presentations ranging from ecology of fishes, food webs, environmental flows, and conservation of rivers and fisheries. Presenters will provide context on the early contributions of Dr. Winemiller, while also provide contemporary perspectives of those ideas as well as his contributions in current research to promote fisheries science and conservation worldwide.
