Dear Colleagues,
It will be our great pleasure to welcome you to Tokyo, Japan, for The
Crustacean Society Summer Meeting jointly held with the 47th Annual
Meeting of the Carcinological Society of Japan, 20-23 September 2009.
This is the first TCS Summer Meeting held in Asia and a happy
marriage of the two crustacean societies. A three-day period has
been scheduled for the meeting, and we invite contributions in all
areas of crustacean biology, including systematics, evolution,
ecology, behavior, development, physiology, symbiosis, genetics,
biogeography, fisheries and culture. The Organizing Committee will
make every effort to provide excellent facilities for a comfortable
and enjoyable meeting. Tokyo, the capital of Japan, offers you many
varied attractions and the charms of a big city, including modern
city life, ancient temples, shrines, and gardens, museums and art
galleries, and diverse cultural events. I am very much looking
forward to meeting many old friends and making new ones in Japan, and
to learning much new in crustacean science.
