Considering the myriad of ways in which advanced technology is being used in fisheries research, keeping atop of the newest developments is a challenge. The transfer of such specialized knowledge, even within the fisheries community, can be difficult, thereby hindering more widespread use of advanced technology in fisheries research. This predicament can be further compounded when information exchange between the freshwater and marine fisheries communities is limited. In a constantly shifting technological landscape, effecting stronger information transfer about technology within the fisheries community will lead to greater innovation, broader application, and more efficient and accurate science. This is the goal of the AFS Fisheries Information and Technology Section (FITS).

上游和下游——鱼类通道现代化和改进数据收集的令人兴奋的进展

考虑到在渔业研究中使用先进技术的方式多种多样，掌握最新发展是一项挑战。即使在渔业界，这种专门知识的转让也可能很困难，从而阻碍了先进技术在渔业研究中的更广泛应用。当淡水和海洋渔业社区之间的信息交流有限时，这种困境会进一步加剧。在不断变化的技术格局中，在渔业界内进行更强有力的技术信息转移将导致更大的创新、更广泛的应用以及更有效和更准确的科学。这是 AFS 渔业信息和技术科 (FITS) 的目标。
