XVII European Congress of Ichthyology took place in Prague

XVII European Congress of Ichthyology took place in Prague, Czech Republic, between the 4th and 8th of September 2023. The conference was organized under the formal patronage of the European Ichthyological Society. During the conference, ichthyologists from Europe (and all around the world) met to discuss and enjoy various scientific topics on fishes. In Prague we presented four oral presentations (S. Boryshpolets, N. Szydłowska and M. Tesfaye) as well as two posters (B. Dzyuba and M. Hubálek).
