The Third International Zooplankton Production Symposium was convened to consider the theme of "The Role of Zooplankton in Global Ecosystem Dynamics: Comparative Studies from the World Oceans". It was co-sponsored by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), and the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Project (GLOBEC). The Symposium was held from 20 to 23 May 2003, at the Congress Center in Gijón, Spain, and was attended by 333 participants from 38 countries.

ICES also had a lead role in the organization of the Second Symposium on Zooplankton . . . [Full Text of this Article]
