Welcome to Nelson, New Zealand for Physiomar & ANZMBS 2021!





Physiomar is a triennial international forum for discussion of recent advances in all aspects of the physiology of aquatic invertebrates. The conference has no parallel sessions and is usually attended by participants from over 25 countries. It is an opportunity to maximise exchange of knowledge and expertise, and encourage collaboration in all areas including functional biology, growth, nutrition, reproduction, and adaptation to an ever-changing environment.

Following highly successful conferences in Mexico, France, Canada, Spain, Chile and the UK, Physiomar 2021 will be held in New Zealand and hosted by the Cawthron Institute, New Zealand's largest independent science organisation. 

The Australia New Zealand Marine Biotechnology Society (ANZMBS) aims to advance marine biotechnology in Australia and New Zealand through the exchange of ideas and collaborations between researchers, biotechnologists, industry and government colleagues and other interested parties. This will be the 4th ANZMBS Conference.
