Welcome

The annual meeting of the Asian Society of Ichthyologists and the Indo-Pacific Fish Conference will return to their regular schedule post-COVID-19. The most recent meetings were successfully held at Universiti Sains Malaysia in Penang, Malaysia, on May 28-29, 2024, and at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, on November 20-24, 2023. We are pleased to inform you that the upcoming joint conference, combining these two prestigious ichthyological events, will take place in Taipei, Taiwan, from June 9-13, 2025.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we welcome ichthyologists from around the world who are interested in sharing research about the systematics and ecology of Asian and Indo-Pacific fishes, including topics such as evolution, biogeography, taxonomy, ecology, biology, sustainable fisheries, and conservation. We look forward to the opportunity for the ASI to meet with the IPFC and are especially happy to do so in Taipei. The conference will provide an excellent opportunity to share the latest research results, develop collaborations, and promote research.

Taipei is an extremely attractive destination for an international conference, boasting direct connections to major international airports, rich cultural and recreational opportunities, and a modern city full of friendly and welcoming citizens. Naruwan! Welcome to Taiwan!
