The Fourth All-Russian Conference with international participation “Current problems in the study of crustaceans” was successfully held on the basis of the IBVV RAS in the village Bohrok. Within the time frame, four sections took place in succession, at which 48 oral reports were presented, as well as 28 presentations at the poster session. During these three days, 76 Russian researchers from Kaliningrad to Sakhalin, as well as colleagues from Belarus and Uzbekistan, gathered within the walls of our Institute.
The discussion of all aspects of the life of crustaceans continued (and, we are sure, will continue) not only at the reports, but also after the end of the official program in an informal setting until late at night, sometimes turning into heated debates (which, undoubtedly, mutually enriches all those involved and serves as the basis for new discoveries). The conference was held under the auspices of the Russian Carcinological Society, the All-Russian Hydrobiological Society of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Scientific Council on Hydrobiology and Ichthyology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The recording of the Internet broadcast is available on the YouTube channel of the Institute of Biomedicine and Water Resources of the Russian Academy of Sciences (https://youtube.com/live/9BfXxfK7Yg0).
Based on the results of the Conference, it is planned to publish a collection of abstracts and, if possible, create a special issue of the academic journal “Biology of Inland Waters”.
On May 22, the Conference of the Russian Carcinological Society was held, at which its leadership was re-elected.
