Education Committee

The scope of the Committee is the education and research activities of ASFB student members (being members undertaking a degree program such as Honours, Masters, Graduate Diploma or Doctor of Philosophy) studying fish (including decapod crustaceans) and/or fisheries within Australia and/or New Zealand and their offshore dependencies. This includes students who are based at either an Australian, New Zealand and/or overseas institution who are engaged in the study of Australian and/or New Zealand fish and/or fisheries.

Our objectives are to: encourage and promote the study fish and fisheries in Australia by students, enhance the student experience by facilitating student research through awards and opportunities for collaboration and communication, help prepare students for a career in fish research and/or management, and keep ASFB members updated on the activities of the Committee and other relevant information via the Australian Society for Fish Biology newsletter, website and social media.
