The 2014 ASFB and ASL congress was held from the 30 June to 3 July at the Darwin Convention Centre. Delegates from universities, environment, and fisheries bodies around Australia attended the conference.

There were 237 oral presentations, including two given by Fisheries Biologist Jonah Yick and Senior Fisheries Management officer Rob Freeman, both representing the Inland Fisheries Service. The presentations were titled “The eradication and management of European carp from two large freshwater lakes in Tasmania” and “Extinct habitat, extant species: lessons learned from conservation recovery actions for the Pedder galaxias (Galaxias pedderensis) in south-west Tasmania, Australia”, respectively. Both of the presentations were well received by the other delegates, and highlighted the importance of managing threatened endemic fish species, as well as invasive pest fish.
