The specific aims for the 10th ISFE included the following:
- Present the state of the art and progress in basic knowledge of fish endocrinology.
- Introduce new fields of research such as functional genomic, Translational endocrinology and integrative action and cross-talk between hormone systems.
- Facilitate multidisciplinary collaborations.
- Educate industrial scientists about advances made in the science of fish endocrinology.

It is now time to prepare the next meeting. Stay tuned. More info will come soon.
