2020 SRF Conference First Call for Abstracts

SRF is happy to announce that the 38th Annual Conference will be held in Santa Cruz, California March 31-April 3, 2020. Please visit our website to see the First Call for Presentation Abstracts.

Please note that the agenda evolves and the Second Call for Abstracts may not include all of the initially described potential sessions, workshops, and tours. Brief session descriptions are now posted to the SRF website. Early submission helps SRF determine which sessions and workshops will be in the final agenda. 

SRF’s Call for Abstracts is highly competitive and not all abstracts can be accepted. Presentations that have not been given before at our conference will have priority.

To submit an abstract, please review our submission guidelines. Please fill out this form, then email your abstract to abstracts@calsalmon.org. Receipt of your submission will be acknowledged by email and forwarded to the correct session chair.

Presenter abstracts are due by November 8, 2019
