The GFCM Forum on Fisheries Science (Fish Forum), the first platform of its kind in the Mediterranean and Black Sea region, encompasses oceanographic, social science and economic perspectives on fisheries research, reviewing work undertaken by leading scientists and experts while also addressing the pillars for the development of fisheries science. 

The first Fish Forum was held in 2018, gathering more than 450 participants, 230 abstracts on technical research and 30 partner organizations. The second was planned for 2021, but has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to a date still to be confirmed.
