ABSTRACT INSTRUCTIONS

The 4th ISFSI 2022 encourages the submission of high quality oral and poster presentations. All poster presentations will be as electronic posters. We strongly encourage authors to consider Eposter presentations as they are an integral part of the conference programme.

Abstracts submitted for "oral presentation preferred" may not be accepted as oral presentations due to the limited number of available time slots in each session.

All abstracts must be in English - the official language of the conference. The selection of abstracts is based upon several criteria, but the most important one is quality. Our guidelines have therefore been updated to reflect this. Please take time to read them and ensure that you follow them. Abstracts not achieving the minimum standards will not be assessed for inclusion.

All abstracts submitted for the 4th ISFSI 2022 and requesting oral presentation must be submitted before the September 2, 2022 deadline to have a chance to be selected for oral presentation. Session chairs will build their sessions soon after the deadline, so abstracts for orals received late will not be considered and will be assigned to Eposters. Importantly, late abstracts can be presented but will not be included in the conference proceedings.

Draft abstracts can be submitted once and amended later.

Each oral presenter will have no more than 15 minutes presentation time. Time keeping by the session chairs will be strict. Authors of studies involving proprietary products or formulations may present this information in its research context, but not as a product pitch.

Oral presentations should use PowerPoint.

Eposters will have a prominent place in the 4th ISFSI meeting:

  •  Presenters will be asked to upload their Eposter 48h before the event and they will be available online and on the virtual environment as part of the full conference programme.
  •  Special Eposter viewing stations will be provided during the event for viewing throughout the conference days and at any time on the virtual environment.
  •  Viewers will be able to contact Eposter authors directly through the event platform by clicking on the poster to ask questions, provide comments or set up a meeting during the event.
  •  All Eposters will be evaluated by dedicated judges and prizes will be awarded during the wrap-up session for Best Poster and Best Student Poster.

All presenters are required to pay their own registration, accommodation, and travel expenses. The 4th ISFSI congress, the society, or any affiliated institution cannot subsidize registration fees, travel, or hotel costs.

The Abstract Book will be a compilation of the accepted abstracts and some invited reviews published by the sponsor Journal Fish and Shellfish Immunology (Elsevier) that will be available online to registered delegates.
