Abalone Society 2012 Awards

Nominations are now open for International Abalone Society 2012 Awards to be presented at the IAS2012 Symposium.

There are two types of IAS award:

(1) an IAS medal, to be awarded to researchers for an outstanding record of published contributions to abalone research, and

(2) life membership of IAS, to be awarded to persons who have made extensive “career” contributions in areas such as abalone research, the abalone industry, abalone aquaculture, or the management or administration of any of the above.

Note: Abalone research means research on abalone or other species that form part of an abalone’s niche (eg predator, prey, parasite, commensal, disease or associated organism).

Nominations must include the nominee’s full name and title, the award for which they are nominated, a statement outlining the suitability of the candidate for the award, a CV containing all information relevant to the award, and the name and e-mail address of the person nominating the candidate.

Nominations should be made by IAS members, which includes existing members plus anyone who has paid their full registration for the upcoming May 2012 Abalone Symposium.

Nominations must be received by the IAS Secretary by 1 April 2012 at the following address:

Rodney Roberts, SPATnz, Private Bag 2, Nelson 7042, New Zealand, rodney.roberts@spatnz.co.nz

Up to 2 awards in each category will be presented at the IAS Symposium in Hobart in early May 2012.
