The 2025 Black Bass symposium will be held over four days in conjunction with the 155th American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting.The objectives of this symposium are to:
- Define the state of the science concerning black bass and assess the progress made since 1975 and 2000;
- Discuss ideas for how to improve the management and conservation of black bass;
- Identify current and potential issues that need to be addressed in the near and distant future;
- Facilitate new partnerships to address those issues.
This symposium will be a confluence of all groups that are invested in the future health of black bass. There will be a variety of ways for people to participate. Attendance at the BB2025 Symposium will be open to all full-time registrants for the annual AFS meeting. Registration to the AFS Meeting will allow access to all BB2025 symposium sessions and events. One-day registration to attend the BB2025 for a single day will also be possible. In addition, we hope to offer some online webinars, discussion groups, and streaming of some keynote addresses during the symposium.
