Dear All,

PLAN TO COME TO TOKYO !

   We are pleased to extend our hearty welcome to you in The Crustacean Society Summer Meeting in Tokyo, Japan, in 2009,  jointly held with the 47th Annual Meeting of the Carcinological Society of Japan.　　The Crustacean Society was organized in 1979 by scientists who recognized a need for an organization and journal to satisfy the requirements of crustacean biologists. Its mission is to advance the study of all aspects of the biology of crustaceans by promoting the exchange and dissemination of information throughout the world.
  The followings are the invitation from the president of Carcinological Society of  Japan and the general information.

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.
