5th Brazilian Crustaceans Congress

"On behalf of the Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia it is a great pleasure for me to invite you to participate in our V Congresso Brasileiro sobre Crustáceos (5th Brazilian Crustaceans Congress), which will be held in Gramado (Hotel Serra Azul), Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, from 10th to 13th November 2008.

The scientific program at the Congress will cover all of the major disciplines of Carcinology, including Morphology, Physiology, Ecology, Biology, Systematics, Taxonomy and Farming and Growing Crustaceans. In addition we are highlighting special themes that will run through each day anchored by a Plenary Lecture by a world expert in that field, and featuring a Symposium and Workshop on that theme. In addition, we welcome your current work as a submitted paper or poster. Sessions of submitted papers - will run daily during the Congress.

I hope that the mixture between the rich and challenging scientific atmosphere of the Sociedade Brasileira de Carcinologia, and the never ending attraction of the city and the nearby landscape of Gramado will convince everyone to attend this Congress. The Organizing Committee and I are certain that you will find the meeting both enriching and enjoyable, and look forward to seeing you in Gramado in November 2008".
