This symposium aims to provide a platform for researchers to explore genetic, physiological, behavioural, ecological, evolutionary, and applied perspectives on fish mating systems.

Overall, we aim to establish a coherent framework for understanding the adaptive basis of the extraordinary diversity of fish reproductive styles.

We are delighted to announce three confirmed outstanding plenary speakers: Suzanne Alonzo, John Fitzpatrick, and Suzanna Pla.

The symposium will be held in Brno (Czech Republic), a conveniently located university town that is a 2-hour journey from Vienna Airport and a 3-hour journey from Prague Airport.

The meeting will be held on the Masaryk University campus, near the Augustinian abbey where Gregor Mendel made his groundbreaking discoveries.

We anticipate 60 to 100 participants. The symposium will consist of no parallel sessions to foster a friendly atmosphere and encourage discussion.

We are considering publishing a dedicated issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. Given the timeline for editorial processing, we would appreciate receiving information if you are interested in contributing to this volume.

Our meeting takes place during the 60th anniversary of the publication of “Modes of Reproduction in Fishes” by Charles Breder and Donn Rosen!
