Associations and Societies
- American Fisheries Society
(AFS), founded in 1870, is the oldest and largest professional society is the oldest and largest professional society representing fisheries scientists. AFS promotes scientific research, enlightened management of resources, encourages a comprehensive education for
fisheries scientists and continuing on-the-job training, publishes some of the world's leading fisheries research journals, and organizes scientific meetings. In addition to these primary functions, the Society has many other programs in areas such as professional certification, international affairs, public affairs and public information. - American Institute of Biological
Sciences
In 1947, the American Institute of Biological Sciences was federally chartered as a non-profit scientific organization to advance research and education in the biological
sciences. - American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists
The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists is dedicated to the scientific study of fishes, amphibians and reptiles. The primary emphases of the Society are to increase knowledge about these organisms, to disseminate that knowledge through publications, conferences, symposia, and other means, and to encourage and support young scientists who will make future advances in these fields - American Malacological
Society
