   Introduction
 
The ICES Symposium "Fishing technology in the 21st century: integrating fishing and ecosystem conservation", was held in Boston, 30 October–3 November 2006 at the Seaport Hotel, and was hosted by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (USA).

The meeting centred on four interrelated themes: (i) ecosystem-sensitive approaches to fishing; reconciling fisheries with conservation through improvements in fishing technology; (ii) the current status of mobile and static sampling gears used in resource surveys; (iii) fishers’ responses to management measures and their socio-economic effects; (iv) a fishery forum on integrating fishing and ecosystem conservation: the way forward.

This was a truly global event that attracted 289 attendees from government and non-governmental organizations, scientists, academics, students, industry representatives, and fishers from more than 30 countries. In all, 146 papers were submitted, of which 63 were selected for verbal presentations and 83 were presented as posters. Ultimately, 54 manuscripts were submitted for review.
