The American Fisheries Society (AFS), founded in 1870, is the oldest and largest
professional society representing fisheries scientists. AFS promotes scientific research
and enlightened management of resources for optimum use and enjoyment by the public. It
also encourages a comprehensive education for fisheries scientists and continuing
on-the-job training. The AFS publishes some of the world\'s leading fisheries research
journals:
AFS organizes scientific meetings where new results are reported and discussed. 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.
More than 100 chapters, divisions, student
subunits, and sections carry out the mission of the
society at the local, regional, and special interest
level.
