Abstract The 2nd International Conference on Fisheries and Marine (ICFM) was organized by Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science and carried out on July 15, 2021 in the format of virtual conference (online platform, Zoom) due to the situation of Covid-19 and the implementation of worldwide travel restriction. This conference brings together about 150 presenters and 255 general participants consist of researchers, scientist, government’s official, professional from private sectors and NGO’s. They were come from Japan, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, Australia, and Indonesia. The conference model was divided into two sessions, including keynote speeches and plenary session (oral presentations). In the first session, we invited six experts to deliver their keynote speeches. Each expert was allocated about thirty minutes to perform their talks through Zoom and after all keynote speech perform followed by discussion about sixty minutes. The keynote speakers were Prof. Dr. Soottawat Benjakul from Thailand, Dr. Hirose Kazuyo from Japan, Prof. Dr. Takaomi Arai from University of Brunei Darussalam, Prof. Dr. Agung Damar Syakti from Indonesia, Dr. Luky Adrianto from Indonesia, and Dr. M. Djanib Achmad from Indonesia. In the second session, the presenters, who performed in oral presentations were given 10 minutes each to briefly present their recent research and 5 minutes discussion via online collaboration tool, Zoom. This session was divided into the five class of meeting rooms based on the field area of their subjects and it was carried out by parallel system. The Proceedings of ICFM 2021 contains 73 papers which were compiled from the excellent papers submitted and presented in the plenary session of the conference. The papers discuss a broad area in fisheries and marine science covering oceanography, marine and fisheries biotechnology, aquaculture, capture fisheries and processing technology, marine and fisheries resources management. We do hope that this proceeding could share bright ideas and give noteworthy contribution in the field of fisheries and marine science for sustainable development. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved, especially to all authors for their contribution in preparing the papers. A great appreciation is given to the reviewers for their assistance in reviewing the manuscripts. Special thank also goes to all members of the scientific committee and their supporting staffs for their efforts in completing the proceeding. Without this dedicated cooperation, it would be impossible to hold the conference at such a high level and prepare the ICFM 2021 proceedings. Dr. Najamuddin Scientific Committee of ICFM 2021

This position paper provides a review of the current European research vessel fleet, its capabilities and equipment, assessing its ability to support marine science across the globe now and into the future. It particularly looks at current and future capabilities in the context of deep sea and Polar research. It also takes a wider vision, assessing the importance of these vessels in the ocean and earth observing landscape. This review includes not only technological but also human capabilities, looking at training needs for crew and technicians to ensure they can continue to deliver on critical science needs. It also considers the ways in which the current European fleet is managed.This Position Paper sets out recommendations for how the fleet will need to develop in the future to ensure that it will continue to provide the same high level of support to science globally, as well as highlighting ways in which management could be made more efficient. It is aimed at national- and European-level policy makers and funders, as well as the marine science community and the research vessel operator community.

A multivariate approach was applied to data of small-scale fisheries developed in Central Amazon, using information about catch composition, environment, fishing gear and season of the hydrological cycle. The correspondence analysis demonstrated to be a good tool for the analysis related multispecies fisheries. The analysis identified patterns of use of fisheries resources by the riverine communities, showing the correlation between the environmental factors and the fishing strategy for the capture of target fish species, indicating the high level of empiric knowledge about the environment and fisheries.

The event covered several topics: ‘Structural Engineering and Materials’, ‘Building Science and Technology’, ‘Construction Management’, and ‘Architecture and Urban Development’. DEACE presented a theme: “Digital and Empathic Engagement in the New Era for Architecture and Civil Engineering”. Digital engagement can revolutionize approach to design and engineering while supporting opportunities to accommodate the implementation of advanced technology. While empathic engagement reflects not only on effectively design and build infrastructure to meet safety and other regulatory requirements, but also understanding customer essential needs. DEACE aimed to gather researchers, scholars, and practitioners all over the world to share and exchange their knowledge and breakthrough in the fields of Architecture and Civil Engineering especially toward the new era. As the event was approaching and there was no sign of the Covid-19 pandemic slowing down earlier that year, it was decided not to postpone the event but to hold it virtually instead. The conference started with plenary sessions with four keynote speakers, and followed by parallel sessions in two rooms with four sessions. Each keynote speech took 45 minutes and 30 minutes for presentation and discussion, respectively. While speakers in parallel sessions were given 15 minutes and 5 minutes for presentation and discussion. The were 30 presenters out of 159 participants in total, consist of both academicians and professionals. They came from Indonesia as well as some other countries such as China, Taiwan, Germany, Japan and Australia.

Background/Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of traditional conference and meeting. Since social distancing rule was important issue, many conferences across the world were cancelled or postponed indefinitely. In 2020, International Conference of the Korean Pancreatobiliary Association (IC-KPBA) was held as a hybrid online and offline conference. Here, we report the result of a national survey about online and offline medical conference in Korea.Methods: The survey was performed for both online and offline participants after IC-KPBA. The contents of survey included their way to access the hybrid online-offline conference and satisfaction with the conference format.Results: Total of 78 participants answered the survey and there was no technical problem. Most offline participants were satisfied the prevention measures at conference hall as follows; very satisfied-56%; satisfied-34%. The quality of video and audio were generally satisfactory in both conference hall and virtual conference. ‘Live online lectures’ is the most preferred method of lecture delivery and personal computer with LAN network is preferred to access online conference. Eighty seven percent of offline participants and 91% of online participants answered satisfied and very satisfied, respectively.Conclusions: Participants of IC-KPBA 2020 with hybrid online-offline conference showed a high level of satisfaction.
