The American Fisheries Society (AFS) is the oldest and largest professional society representing fisheries and aquatic scientists in the world.  AFS produces a number of scientific publications, including the monthly magazine “Fisheries,” several research journals, many textbooks, and a number of symposium proceedings. The breadth and depth of expertise among its members on issues affecting freshwater and marine ecosystems is unparalleled within any other organization.
