When many of the world's top fisheries experts convene in the Twin Cities beginning Sunday, they will have plenty to discuss about their host state.
More than 1,000 fisheries professionals are scheduled to descend on the metro next week as the American Fisheries Society gathers in Minnesota for the first time since 1963.
Gov. Mark Dayton and Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr will open the conference Monday morning at RiverCentre in St. Paul.
Zebra mussels and Asian carp and the problems they portend for Minnesota likely will be among topics discussed by the fisheries biologists and managers.
"The conference provides a unique opportunity to discover and discuss a wealth of information about current issues, trends, research and challenges affecting aquatic natural resources, the professionals and scientists who manage them and a society and economy that depend on them," Minnesota DNR fisheries research and policy director Don Pereira said in a statement.
