在南非开普敦举行的 2010 年大会之前，SIL 大会所作的报告均以全文形式刊载于《会议论文集》（Verhandlungen Internationale Vereinigung für theoretische und angewandte Limnologie），使用英文、法文或德文。大会《会议论文集》为大部头卷册，篇幅超过 3500 页，通常在会议召开约 18 个月后出版。这些论文集使读者得以了解湖泊学重大问题和争议方面的近期观点，并对淡水生物学领域大量当前研究作了全面概述。
Prior to the 2010 Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, presentations made in SIL congresses have been published in full in the Proceedings (Verhandlungen Internationale Vereinigung für theoretische und angewandte Limnologie) in English, French, or German. The Proceedings of a congress, in large volumes of over 3,500 pages, appeared approximately 18 months from the time of the meetings. These Proceedings gave readers recent views on the major problems and controversies in limnology as well as a comprehensive summary of much of the current research in the field of freshwater biology.
